How long a revision takes
What happens after you press Revise, what the progress panel tells you, and why your film keeps going when you close the page.
One press, then your film
When you press Revise, the work starts at once. Optic first reads the whole stretch you chose, then makes your film. A longer clip takes longer — to read and to make: a few seconds of footage is quicker than a full minute, and a long revision can take a good while. The panel Your film tells you where it is:
| You see | It means |
|---|---|
| "Waiting its turn — yours is next." | Your film is in line and starts next. You can still Stop; stopping while it waits costs nothing. |
| "Reading your clip." | Optic is reading the whole stretch — every shot, who and what is there, and what your words ask for. |
| "Preparing what the change needs." | Optic is preparing what your change needs before the film is made. |
| "Making your film." | The film itself is being made. |
| "Finishing your film." | The last steps before it is ready. |
Next to it you see how long it has been working (Working · … s) and the time left — "about … min left" or "under a minute left". That estimate is worked out for your run from the seconds you chose, so a longer stretch shows a longer time; it is honest, not a promise. When many people are making at once, Studio shows "High demand — your result may take a little longer." Until the making starts, Stop is beside it.
You do not have to wait on the page
Your film is made on ROUTIX's side, not in your browser. Close the page, lose your connection or switch devices — it keeps going and is waiting in Studio and in History when you come back. If you go offline, Studio says so: "You're offline. Anything already being made keeps going — it will be here when you're back."
How many at once
Your plan sets how many of your makes can run at the same time. Anything more waits its turn and starts on its own — it is never refused for that. See Plans and add-ons.
