FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is the ForgedClips video editor free?
You can open a clip and preview your edits for free. Exporting the final MP4 requires signing in, with Free, $19, and $49 plans available. There's no download to install — it runs in your browser.
How do I add captions to a video?
Open your clip in the editor and turn on captions. ForgedClips animates them word by word, and you can set the font, color, size, position, and highlight style. The caption editor updates the live preview as you adjust it.
Can I edit a video I already have?
Yes. The editor works on existing clips — either ones created by the ForgedClips clipper or a video you upload or paste in. From there you add captions, hooks, music, and branding.
What aspect ratio and format does it export?
Every clip exports as a 9:16 vertical MP4 rendered by the Remotion engine, sized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.
Does the preview match the final export?
Yes. The live in-browser preview is driven by the same render contract as the export, so what you see in the editor is what the final MP4 looks like.
Can I post clips to social platforms after editing?
Yes. Once a clip is exported, ForgedClips can auto-post it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels through the connected-account integrations.
