Video Highlight Maker FAQs
Are there any limitations on the file size of my uploaded video?
Single video uploads must be under 5GB. If you are uploading multiple clips, please ensure the total file size for a single project does not exceed 10GB.
What video aspect ratios do you support?
Our AI highlight video maker supports 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, and 1:1 aspect ratios for both video input and output.
Can I input multiple videos or URLs as references?
Yes. To create highlight reels from multiple videos or URLs, start your prompt directly in the main text box at the top of the page rather than selecting a preset. Please ensure you have the appropriate rights to use all submitted assets before generating.
How to make my highlight video more engaging?
Add dynamic animated captions, background music that matches the pacing, and subtle sound effects. Keep scene transitions fast-paced, trim silent gaps, and use custom text prompts to isolate the most dramatic reactions or key takeaways.
What is the recommended duration of a highlight reel?
For social media shorts like TikTok, Reels, or Shorts, aim for 15 to 60 seconds to maximize retention. For YouTube intros, event recaps, or podcast highlights, 1 to 3 minutes works best. Focus on density over length and keep only the highest-value moments to maintain viewer engagement.
Will my speech be cut off mid-sentence?
No. Powered by an advanced natural language understanding engine, Fotor's AI highlight video maker naturally preserves full speech patterns and prevents awkward mid-sentence cuts.
