Yes. Video and audio effects can be overlapped in the same frame but the Timeline
will depict it separately.
However, 2 video effects or 2 audio effects present in bottom bar cannot be
overlapped for the same frame.
E.g. If you have applied Echo effect, then you can’t apply Jitter effect over the same
frame.
This can only be achieved by gaming a video twice. i.e. Edit and Render the video
initially using Echo video effect. Next, select the rendered video to edit again, now
using Jitter effect over the required frame.

ℚ Can I apply transitions between two intermediate joined videos?
No. Currently the app by itself adds a Fade-in transition between two videos. We will
be adding new features for this in due course.
ℚ Can I select portrait videos for joining?
Yes. However, please note if you select a portrait video, it will be cropped to
accommodate the landscape view.
Reverse:
ℚ How do I reverse a video?
Watching a reversed video is a whole lot of fun. However, creating one is also a
cakewalk.
Here are the steps:
1. Tap on the large Reverse button to open Media Picker library.
2. Here select a video to reverse. The reversed video will open in Edit screen.
3. Tap on the Play button to view it. You can also apply background track from
Songs library to your reversed video.

Library.
Have fun with friends while watching your reversed video.
ℚ I am not getting original audio for my reversed video. What’s the problem?
Once a video is reversed, original audio will be removed. This is done to remove the
inconvenience with the reversed audio.
Split-Screen:
ℚ I have a video of 10 minutes and other of 5 minutes. Can I use them together?
Yes, both videos would play together until the first video ends at 5 minutes and
blackens out, while the second video continues playing till 10 minutes.
ℚ Can I select more than 2 videos in Split-Screen?
No. At present Split-Screen allows you to add only 2 videos. However, if you want
more than 2 videos then simply render it twice and so on.
ℚ Can I get original audio for the Split-Screen video?
No. Since Split-Screen combines two videos together to play as once, the audio from
both videos would result in distortion. Hence, the rendered video will not have any
audio.
