Re-record clips

How to re-record a clip in Tella

Tella’s re-record feature allows you to replace individual clips within a video without having to redo the entire project. This is particularly useful when you need to correct or improve a specific part of your video while keeping the rest intact. Instead of re-editing or starting over, you can simply swap out a single clip and keep your video cohesive and professional.

What is the re-record feature?

The re-record feature enables you to replace an existing clip in a video with a completely new recording. This saves time and effort, especially when working on videos that contain multiple clips. If one part of the video needs to be corrected or updated, you can easily select that specific clip and re-record it without affecting the other segments.

When should I use re-record?

The re-record feature is ideal when:

• You’ve made a mistake in a specific clip.

• You want to update information or visuals in one part of your video.

• You want to improve a section of your video without redoing the entire project.

This feature helps you make targeted adjustments, allowing you to focus on perfecting individual clips without losing all your previous work.

How to re-record a clip

Here’s how to use the re-record feature in Tella:

1. Open the Tella Editor:

• Start by opening the video project in the Tella editor.

2. Select the Clip to Replace:

• Navigate to the right-hand menu and ensure you’ve selected the correct clip that you want to re-record.

3. Use the Re-record Feature:

• Click the Redo button. This will bring up a prompt asking how you want to re-record the clip.

4. Choose Your Recording Method:

• You can choose to record using either the Web App or the Mac App.

• If you select the Mac App, it will automatically open, allowing you to re-record the clip directly from your desktop.

• If you use the Web App, you’ll be taken into Tella’s web recorder.

5. Record the New Clip:

• In the web recorder, click the red Record button to start capturing your new clip. You can replace the existing clip with either a camera-only recording or a screen and camera recording, depending on your needs.

• If replacing a screen and camera recording, click Share Screen to select the screen content, then proceed with the recording as usual.

6. Finalize the Replacement:

• Once your new recording is complete, it will automatically replace the selected clip in your video timeline. The rest of your video remains unchanged.
