1. 1

   Tools: Select · Blur box · Blur ellipse · Pixel box · Pixel ellipse · Colour box · Colour ellipse · Brush · Emoji. Up to 40 layers.

2. 2

   Blur / Pixel: a region appears in the middle — drag it into place and resize with the handles. On the selected layer switch Blur ↔ Pixel and set the blur strength or the pixel size (shown in real pixels).

3. 3

   Colour box / Brush: choose a colour, opacity and (for the brush) thickness, then draw directly on the video. Emoji: pick a sticker or type any emoji; it is added in the centre and can be resized.

4. 4

   Animate: move the playhead to where the subject moved, then drag the layer again — a keyframe (yellow diamond) is saved and the layer glides between keyframes automatically. Save keyframe / Remove keyframe are on the selected layer.

5. 5

   The layer list under the player lets you switch between layers; Delete layer removes one. Everything is burned into the published video on the server.

Keep the first test short (10–20 s): rendering time grows with length and resolution.
