Find and use the tools

Tools do one job for you, like turning a long video into clips or giving a photo a voice. Open Tools from the sidebar on a desktop, or from the You sheet (your avatar, top left) on a phone.

Two kinds of tool

• Start from an idea: you begin with a brief or a script. UGC ad, Voiceover and Music are here.
• Start from a file: you begin with a photo or video from your Library. Clips, Captions, Remove background, Dub, Talking photo, Sound effects, Upscale and Extend are here.

How a tool runs

Each tool opens full screen and asks one question a screen, with a thin bar along the top for each step. Pick a file from your Library (or Upload one), make your choices, and the main button tells you the price before you start. Close it any time with the cross.

While it works you can choose Keep working elsewhere and come back later. What it makes lands in your Library, or for Clips, Captions and UGC ad, in a new project you can open in the editor. If a run fails, its credits come back. Most tools that cost credits also have Stop, and get the credits back while they’re working.

The bottom of the Tools page lists Recent runs, so you can open anything you made from a tool again.

Other ways in

• Your Library: open a photo or video and the tools that work on it are listed under Tools, each with what it costs on that file. On a phone, press and hold a file.
• The editor: pick a clip and its panel has Remove background. The result lands in the project’s Media.
• ⌘K: type a tool’s name to jump to it (desktop only).
• Home: a row of tools, with All tools to see the rest.

Tools are for owners and editors. In the demo workspace you can click through every step, but nothing runs until you sign in.
