Common questions
Can I paste a YouTube link directly?
No. Record the video’s sound while it plays, or import an audio file you already have.
Are ads removed automatically?
No. Split separate ads into their own clips and leave them unselected when saving.
What if the recording is silent?
Check that recording has started and the video is playing. If a short recording stays silent, the source or iOS may block capture. Import an available audio file instead.
Recording depends on iOS and the source app. Only save audio you have permission to record.
