The ‘Remix’ feature will allow you to replace, remove, or re-imagine elements in your clips, while the ‘Re-cut’ option will let you find and isolate the best frames, and extend them in either direction to complete a scene.

On the other hand, with the ‘Storyboard’ feature, people can organise and edit unique sequences from their videos on a personal timeline. ‘Loop’ trims down and creates clips which repeat seamlessly.

‘Blend’ combines two videos into a single, seamless clip, while ‘Presets’ allows users to create and share styles to capture imagination.
