Reading your clip takes a few minutes

Why "Reading your clip." can take a few minutes on a long stretch, why you do not need to wait on the page, and how to make it quicker.

Updated 1 min read Copy page

After you press Revise, the panel Your film first says "Reading your clip." Optic reads the whole stretch you chose — every second of it, with your words, pictures and focuses — before it makes anything. On a short stretch that is quick. On a long stretch, or with many changes, it can take a few minutes.

While it reads

  • You do not need to keep the page open. The reading and the making happen on ROUTIX's side; close the page, and your film is waiting in Studio and in History when you come back.
  • The price does not move while it reads: what was held when you pressed Revise is the price.
  • Until the making starts, Stop is beside the progress if you change your mind.

Make it quicker

  • Choose only the seconds you need. A shorter stretch reads faster and costs less to make.
  • Ask for the changes you need — fewer, clearer changes read faster.

If the page says "Studio could not be reached"

The page lost its answer for a moment; your film is not affected by it. See "Studio could not be reached".
