What is a Directed Clip?

There is no limit to how many Directed Clips you can create.

You can also drag the clip handles to adjust its duration.

FAQs
Directed Clips are created in interactive mode. This mode automatically expires 90 days after the recording was first processed. If you’re not seeing the option, it’s likely that the interactive mode has been archived for that recording.
You can create Directed Clips up to 15 minutes long. This gives you flexibility to highlight extended sequences or moments that matter most.
Rendering time can vary depending on how long the Directed Clip is and how many keyframes you've added. If it seems stuck in rendering, try refreshing your page to prompt an update.
Clips can’t be shared directly from the platform. However, you can download your Directed Clip and share it manually as a file.
