Jay Neon VSL

A long talking-head argument cut against full-frame neon plates, with every word laid out in grey and lit as you say it.

This style is out of the library right now while we rebuild it.

What Jay Neon VSL does to your footage

This is for long sales videos. The cut is slow on purpose, about six cuts a minute. You sit in a near-black studio, and the edit drops to full-frame neon plates crossed by soft ribbons of light. The words are the trick. The whole line is already on screen in dim grey, and each word lights up white exactly when you say it. The word that carries the point gets its own line at nearly three times the size.

What Jay Neon VSL will not do

Wide only, and it is built for long footage. Under a minute it has no room to breathe.

How to edit a video in the Jay Neon VSL style

  1. Upload your footage. Drop in the recording you already made. Clypmint transcribes it and finds where the usable takes are.
  2. Pick Jay Neon VSL. Choose Jay Neon VSL from the style picker. Its whole editing grammar comes with it.
  3. Let it cut. Clypmint cuts the dead air, sets the captions the way Jay Neon VSL sets them, and places that style's graphics on the beats where they belong.
  4. Change it in a sentence. Tell the Director what to change. It edits the timeline you already have rather than starting over.
  5. Export it. Download the finished file. On a paid plan there is no mark on it.

How long should my footage be?

Jay Neon VSL is built for footage between 49 seconds and 26 minutes. Shorter than that and the style has no room to put its devices anywhere. Longer than that and it runs out of vocabulary before your recording ends. Your plan also sets the longest single file you can upload, and that limit is listed on the pricing page.

What shape of video does it make?

Jay Neon VSL is wide, for YouTube and a website. It has no version in another shape.
