More videos, clearer import errors

Studio V2 now tries a second decoder when a video cannot open normally. It keeps the original file and checks a decoded frame before adding a layer. Video timing, rotation and color handling stay consistent through playback and export. When a file cannot open, its message explains the problem and your current project stays in place.

01Improved

Open more original videos

Choose MOV, MP4, WebM, MKV and other video files from Add or drop them onto the canvas. Studio uses the decoders available in your browser without converting your file. Support depends on your browser and device, so some professional codecs can still be unavailable. Rejected imports now distinguish codec, container, decoding and storage problems. You can try another file immediately.
