Lesson 4 of 16Edit one clip safely

Start an Evoto Video project without spending vCredits

Import raw footage, place one clip on the timeline, and pick the anchor frame that will guide the edit.

Article· 6 min

You have footage from a wedding, event, brand shoot, or product session. By the end of this lesson, one raw clip is in Evoto Video, one anchor frame is selected, and no vCredits have been spent.

How to do it

  1. Start from the raw camera clip. Do not import a final edited file with transitions, LUTs, or baked-in color.

  2. Create a new project, import the clip, and confirm it appears in the Project Panel.

  3. Drag the clip to the Timeline. Editing controls only matter once the clip is on the Timeline.

  4. Scrub to a representative frame: normal lighting, clear face or subject, and the look you want the clip to carry.

  5. Open the right-side editing panel and inspect available Portrait / AI Color controls. Do not click Apply Effects yet.

Try it

Import one 30–60 second raw clip from your latest shoot. Mark two anchor-frame candidates, then choose the one that represents most of the clip rather than the hardest moment.

Watch out for

  • Importing a final reel instead of source footage.

  • Picking the worst-lit frame as the anchor. Fix representative footage first; handle outliers later.
