Workflow in FreeCut
A focused step-by-step path from import to clean export, tuned for this page.
Bring real media in
Pull video from Photos, Files or Camera. Bring voice and music in as audio. Card metadata shows duration, codec and FPS.
Cut on a clean timeline
Snap, trim, drop B-roll and switch between Visual, Audio and Sync modes to keep mobile editing calm.
Bold caption-first text
Double-tap to edit, scale the text box, add outline and background — without breaking layout.
Render the platform preset
Pick Full Timeline, Selected Clip or Range. FPS, bitrate and codec are visible before render.
Creator tips
Stickers go top + middle
Story stickers (polls, links, music) cover the bottom 25%. Keep them in the middle.
One Story = one idea
Each 15 s slice should stand alone. Don't chain a long story across 4 cards without a hook.
