Are files uploaded for this tool?

This browser tool processes the selected media locally on this device. The file is not uploaded to ArtPlayer servers for this workflow.

Will the export have a watermark?

No. ArtPlayer browser tools do not add watermarks to exported files.

Why can processing take time?

The work runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device, browser, memory, source size, and the export settings needed for the result.

Which browsers work best?

Recent Chrome, Edge, and other modern Chromium browsers usually work best for heavier browser media processing.

What should I try if a large file fails?

Try a smaller source, close other heavy tabs, reduce resolution or duration first, and keep the tab open until the export finishes.

Can I drag the text on the video?

Yes. After choosing a video, drag the text layer in the canvas preview or use a position preset.

Is the text burned into the MP4?

Yes. The export renders the text into the video pixels, so it shows in normal players without extra files.

Can I add captions or labels directly onto the video?

Yes. Place the text overlay on the preview and export it burned into the MP4.

Can I edit the text after export?

The exported video has the text baked in. Keep the original project/source if you may need to revise it.
