Questions people ask
How long can the video be?
The quick edits, like a clip or a still, work on videos up to ten minutes and make clips of one to 60 seconds. For anything longer, tell Buddy the result you want. If a file is too large to send, the upload controls will say so.
Can he make a highlight reel from several videos?
The quick edits are a clip, a still, a picture of several frames, the sound, and a conversion. For something bigger, tell Buddy the full result you want and he’ll say what he can do.
Can he make a video from a description?
No. These tools work with footage you send. Buddy can make an image from a description, but he doesn’t generate a new video from a written prompt.
Can he email it to me?
Yes, to your own verified email address. Sending it to someone else needs a connected app and the person you want him to send it to.
