Edit videos with the built-in editor

Need to tweak your video before creating AR? Trim, rotate, and crop it right in AliveIt with the built-in editor. You can even use a frame from the video as your image.

Open the editor

After you upload a video, click the pencil icon in its cell. The Trim to size window opens.

Create AR page with the Edit video pencil icon highlighted in the video cell

Good to know: the editor is available only while you're adding the video. To edit a video you've already created, delete it from the cell and upload it again.

Trim the video

Shorten your video in one of two ways:

Enter the times in Start and End.
Drag the orange handles at the ends of the timeline.

Click ▶ to preview the result.

Use a frame as your image

Don't have a separate image? Use any frame from your video instead. This is the image your customers will point their camera at.

Check Select current frame as marker.
Click the frame you want on the timeline.
Click Download image to save it as a PNG. Use it to print on your product.

Rotate the video

Click the rotate icon next to ▶ to turn the video 90 degrees. The current angle shows next to it.

Crop the video

Crop the video to match the shape of your image. On the right, pick a ratio: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, or 3:2. Or choose Free form and drag the edges to any size.

Changed your mind? Click Reset crop.
