Lesson 3 of 16Start with Evoto Video

Render your first 10-second clip

One short delivery cycle teaches you the cost shape of Evoto Video before you commit to a real job.

Article· 5 min

One short delivery cycle teaches you the cost shape of Evoto Video. By the end you have a 10-second clip with one preset applied, a segment export, and a confident sense of how many vCredits a real job will cost.

How to do it

  1. Import a 10-second raw clip and place it on the Timeline.

  2. Pick one anchor frame in normal lighting. Apply one built-in portrait or AI Color preset at default strength.

  3. Scrub forward and back. If skin or color drifts in motion, reduce the strength to the lightest setting that still helps.

  4. Click Apply Effects. Watch the vCredit indicator drop — note the exact cost for these 10 seconds.

  5. Open Export → Segment Export. Choose MP4 and source-matching frame rate. Export only the rendered seconds.

  6. Open the exported file outside Evoto Video. Play start to finish before declaring it done.

Try it

After Step 4, write down the vCredit cost. Estimate a 90-second wedding highlight using that number. Adjust your edit budget before quoting clients.

Watch out for

  • Applying effects to the whole timeline when only 10 seconds are needed.

  • Exporting before checking the result outside Evoto. Format mismatches show up only on the destination tool.
