Questions about switching

Do my KineMaster projects come over?

No. Clips has no import of another editor's projects. Export your finished videos from KineMaster and drop them on Home; each video dropped on Home becomes a Clip with it placed.

Can I edit on my phone?

Yes. The phone editor fills the screen with a vertical preview and a multi-clip timeline under a centered playhead, with pinch zoom, trim handles and press and hold to reorder.

Does Clips work without a connection?

Home and the Library open with no signal and show the Clips last read on that device, when you keep Clips there. Making or editing a Clip needs a connection, because its videos are in Depot.

Where do my finished videos go?

Exports land on your account's Depot storage, and Publish sends a video to TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts from inside Clips over your own connected accounts.
