Additional Features and Tools

To further enhance your video project and management capabilities, Ci Media Cloud offers a range of additional features for our video editing workflows:

Template profiles include various aspect ratios like square, landscape and portrait so you can easily crop to the frame size you need for YouTube shorts, Instagram, or TikTok. Using these built-in social media templates make video trimming and sharing to your social media channels more convenient.
• Free Live Stream Clipping: Users with an enterprise-level plan can also trim down live streams as they are still streaming. Teams can preview and trim HLS, SRT or RTMP streams feeding into Ci as the action is still happening.
