Metro Editorial

Words land one at a time in heavy editorial type, cuts carry real motion blur, and a proof device appears only when the story earns one.

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

What Metro Editorial does to your footage

Your words arrive a word at a time, landing on the moment you actually say them, in heavy type with one phrase carrying the point. Cuts are hard and carry a short motion blur, so a change of shot reads as a move rather than a fade. A numbered chapter stamp, a figure landing or a card of your own screenshot appears only where the story names one. Nothing is placed on a timer, and quiet footage is allowed to stay quiet.

What footage suits Metro Editorial

What Metro Editorial will not do

It needs speech to land words against. Silent footage gets its captions from nowhere, so use a camera-led style instead.

How to edit a video in the Metro Editorial style

  1. Upload your footage. Drop in the recording you already made. Clypmint transcribes it and finds where the usable takes are.
  2. Pick Metro Editorial. Choose Metro Editorial 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 Metro Editorial sets them, and places that style's graphics on the beats where they belong.
  4. Change it in a sentence. Tell the AI editor 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?

Metro Editorial is built for footage between 12 seconds and 10 minutes. Shorter than that and the style has no room to put its graphics 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?

Metro Editorial is wide, for YouTube and a website. It also runs at 9:16.
