Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of video link does Klap need?
A public link to the video file, or a YouTube link. A link that needs a login, such as a private Dropbox or Google Drive file, won't work.
How long does clipping take?
Klap works in the background, and a long video can take a while. Sam checks on the job and tells you when the clips are ready.
