Manufaktura

A workshop for short video: captions, voice-over, stories, audio, stills and downloads — each its own tool.

Tools

Editing

CaptionsSubtitles burned into the video

Transcribes the speech, cuts it into lines and burns them into the frame. Style, font and position are all on the preview before you render.

Open
VerticalA short cut from a long video

Upload a wide video or paste a YouTube link, and it finds the strongest stretch by what is said — then stands it up as 9:16, whole frame or centre crop.

Open
2 plansOne take, four scenes

A talking head comes in flat and comes out cut: four scenes, wide and close in turn, the close-ups pushed in on the face. Same length, same soundtrack, untouched.

Open
SoundsSound effects on the clip

A shelf of ready effects — a click, a shutter, a bell, a cash register. Put each one anywhere on the timeline, set how loud it is, hear it against the video before you render. They mix with the clip’s own sound rather than replacing it.

Open
CTA visualCall-to-action graphics on the clip

Animated “subscribe”, “save” and “share” graphics laid over the video: pick as many as you like, drag each into place, set its size and whether it shows at the start, at the end or all the way. The preview shows exactly what the file will hold.

Open
EditorA timeline of your own

Two tracks — video and sound. Drop the files in, drag the clips about, trim them by the edges, split with the blade, set a volume for each, watch it play, then render one file. Free — ffmpeg does the assembly.

Open
CutsA cut at every sentence

The speech is transcribed and every sentence end is offered as a cut on the timeline — keep the ones you want, drop the rest. At each cut the picture dips to black, comes straight back and jumps a touch, the way a real cut does.

Open
MusicMusic under the video

A video and a track in, the video with the track laid under its own sound out. The music volume is tried on a live preview. ffmpeg only — free.

Open
ParallaxA slight camera move, in depth

The camera drifts a few centimetres: what is near moves more than what is far, and the flat clip gains depth. A depth model on our own server — free.

Open
ComposeVideos joined end to end

Any number of videos in, one file out — in the order of the list, with no gaps and the sound in sync. Different sizes and frame rates are fitted to the first clip. ffmpeg only — free.

Open
ScenesA video, cut into its edits

Finds every cut by how much the picture changes, and gives each scene its times and a sharp frame from its very beginning. ffmpeg only — free.

Open
FramesStills out of a clip

Step frame by frame with the arrows, grab stills at the clip's own resolution, download them one by one or all at once.
