Fix a video by hand in HyperFrames Studio

To fix one character in a caption or trim a cut a little, edit by hand in the HyperFrames Studio desktop app. The edited video becomes the same video's next version, so its reviews and ad results carry on.

Get the app from hyperframes.studio. It runs on your computer and uses no TakePilot credits.

What you can and can't do

1. Take out

The easiest way is to ask your agent: "Open this video in HyperFrames Studio." On a Mac, your agent unpacks it into a folder and opens it in the app.

To take it out from the web:

1. Open the video in My files and press "Open in an editor".
2. Choose "HyperFrames Studio (recommended)" and press "Download the zip".
3. Unzip it and open the folder with Import projects in HyperFrames Studio, or drag the folder onto the app.

In a video made from another person's template, voices are replaced with silence. The real ones stay on the server and are used when the video is rendered.

2. Edit in the app

Edits are saved to index.html right away.

• Caption text: select the caption line first (its T row in Layers, or click it again in the preview), then double-click it in the preview to edit in place.
• Clips: split at the playhead, drag an edge to trim, or move them.
• Check: if you moved a caption, check in the preview that its animation still starts at the right time.

For the final render, ask your agent. You don't need app credits, Pro or the app's cloud rendering.

3. Bring back

Tell your agent: "Bring it back to TakePilot."

To bring it back from the web, zip the folder and upload it with "Bring back the edited zip" on the same "Open in an editor" sheet. Keep takepilot.json in the folder. It becomes the same video's next version.

Sometimes the server already has a newer version. Then nothing is overwritten: it stops and offers three choices.

• "Cancel": do nothing.
• "Download the zip of version N": take out the newer one and redo your edits on it.
• "Make this zip the next version": your zip becomes the next version. Edits made in the newer version are left out unless your folder has them.

Whichever you choose, no earlier version is deleted.

4. Render

A version you brought back is not a video yet. Ask your agent to render it, and it becomes a video.

• On a computer with at least 16 GB of memory and 10 GB free, it renders there, free.
• If the computer falls short, or it is a map video, a video from another author's template that has a voice, or a version that uses a hidden or removed file, it renders on TakePilot's servers. That costs the usual rate (the provider's cost plus 20%), and your agent shows an estimate first.

Taking out and bringing back are free.

Rules for bringing back

• For safety, the page is checked like someone else's code. A page that loads outside files can't come back (gsap and Google Fonts are allowed).
• A video with files of unknown origin can be published to Community too. When you publish it, you confirm that you may use the faces, voices, footage and music in the files you added.
• A hand-edited version is not checked for text over faces or offerings. Check it with your own eyes.
• A hand-edited version never becomes a template.
• If your agent rebuilds the same video, the hand edits are lost. Your agent tells you first.
• A zip can be up to 1 GB, and you can bring back up to 30 times a day.
