Brand kit and export

Save a brand kit

A brand kit saves a clip's look so you can reuse it.

  1. Style a clip the way you like it.
  2. Click Brand in the left rail.
  3. Name the look (for example "My style") and save it.

In the ⋯ menu next to a kit, Make default applies that kit automatically to newly generated clips, and Delete removes it. Clips already styled keep their look.

Apply a brand kit

  1. Open a clip and click Brand.
  2. Click Preview next to a kit. You see only what will change. Nothing changes until you apply.
  3. Choose Keep my custom edits to keep changes you made on this clip, or Replace custom edits to use the kit's settings everywhere.

If parts of a kit can't be used on a clip, the preview lists them as skipped before you apply.

Add an intro and outro

  1. Open Brand and find Intro & outro.
  2. Set the Length in seconds (0.5 to 30) and type the Call to action text.
  3. The card is added before (intro) or after (outro) the clip.

Intros and outros add to your clip's total length and are included in exports.

Download your clip

  1. Click Export in the top bar. Any edit that hasn't saved yet is saved first.
  2. Choose Include captions and open Settings if you want to change the output.
  3. Click Download MP4. You get a file matching your saved edits and chosen settings; if it needs preparing, your download starts automatically when ready.

You can also download a clip from My Videos without opening the editor. If your latest changes are still processing, you get your last finished version, so download again in a few minutes to get them.

Clips created on the Free plan are watermarked, and that doesn't change when you download them later.

Choose download settings

Open Settings in the download sheet to choose:

  • Resolution: 720p or 1080p
  • Frame rate (fps): a whole number from 1 to 60
  • Quality: Standard or High
  • Audio loudness: As edited, or Standard loudness

Use Include captions above Settings to add captions to your video. You can cancel preparation or close the sheet and reopen it to see progress.

Export checks

Before exporting, PowerCut checks the clip. If something needs fixing, the check tells you what, and Review media or Review clip takes you back to the editor. Common reasons:

  • Saving your latest changes. Export waits a moment for them. If saving fails, click Retry saving.
  • We can't confirm you have rights to this media. Replace it to export.
  • This video exceeds the supported length. Shorten the video and try again.
