Three steps in the browser. Nothing to install.

Made for recital footage

Your dancer's number, not the whole two-hour show

Add the recital from your phone or the studio's recording. VIDIO keeps the dance you ask for, closes in on the dancers when they're small on a big stage, and keeps the music.

Keeps the number you want

Say which dance to keep, by its song, costume or class, and VIDIO cuts around it instead of you scrubbing through every class.

The most reliable way is to add just your child's number: trim the recording to it in the Media composer, or add only that clip. VIDIO then keeps the whole dance and finishes it. From a full show you can also describe the number (the song, the costume color), but check the cut in the editor, where you can keep, remove or trim any part.

Yes. VibeEdit closes in on people when they are small in the frame, such as children on a stage. It zooms on the dancers, not on props or the backdrop, and it can't add detail the camera didn't capture, so a steady recording from closer to the stage gives the sharpest result.

Yes, if you ask. Say to keep the recital music with no added song. For a season recap you can instead let VIDIO pick a fitting track or upload up to 10 of your own. Instagram, TikTok and YouTube may mute copyrighted songs when you post.

On the Free plan a project takes up to 5 videos, 10 minutes of video in total and 1 GB per file, so add just your child's number (most are a few minutes long). Pro takes 60 minutes in total and 4 GB files and exports 1080p without a watermark. A full show of two hours or more needs Business: 6 hours in total and up to 2.5 hours per video.

Yes. Type the text you want, such as the dancer's name, the dance and the year, and VIDIO puts it on screen exactly as written, as a title card or text over the video.

Yes. Ask for 9:16 and VIDIO reframes the stage while keeping the dancers in frame. You can also ask for 16:9 for the family or 1:1, and for up to 5 variations of one request.

Making the video, reruns and the watermarked 720p export are free on every plan. Credits are charged once per project, at the first HD export without a watermark: 0.03 credits per second of footage (an hour of footage is 108 credits). Paid plans start at $10 a month on Pro.
