Your free first video
Every new account can make one video for free: up to 3 minutes of finished video in a ready-made style. No card needed.
What's included
| Free first video | |
|---|---|
| Finished length | Up to 3 minutes |
| Footage | Up to 20 minutes of raw footage |
| Style | Any ready-made style: Bold, Clean, Editorial or Pop |
| Frame | 16:9, 9:16 or 4:5 |
| Changes in chat | 3 |
| Cost | Nothing. The estimate on the New video page says This edit is free. |
You get the same edit a paid plan gets: the cut, zooms, graphics, captions, music, sound effects and the YouTube package or post copy.
What needs a plan
- Custom styles built from videos you like
- More videos after the first one
- Several videos from one recording, and the same video in other frames (Creator and Pro)
- The editing project for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and After Effects (Pro)
Tips for a good first video
- Keep the recording under 20 minutes. If it's longer, trim it before you upload, or choose a plan.
- Set the length under More options › Length. On the free video it goes up to 3 minutes.
- Paste your script if you have one. Garren then keeps one complete take of every line, in script order.
How long it's kept
The free video is kept for 30 days after your last change to it. Download it before then if you want to keep it. See How long files are kept.
After your free video
When your free video is done, the review room shows a short note with See plans. Pick a plan to keep editing, or come back later: your account stays.
