Key Features of SHAREfactory

**Creating a Video Projects​**

With any video or screenshot saved to the Capture Gallery, launch the SHAREfactory app. You can start a new project to assemble your videos together, or edit an existing project from a previous save.
* To Start a New Project, first select a Theme. SHAREfactory Themes each contain unique assets you can add to your project. Find more info in Theme Assets​.
* Next select any video clip stored in your Capture Gallery. You can add up to 50 Clips or 80 mins of footage to a single film project.
* Once you have your clips selected, press  to ​Start Project, choose a name for your Project, then you will load your selected videos into the Main Timeline editor.

**Basic Editing Functions**

The Main Timeline includes several primary editing functions for editing videos and screenshots, found in the  Edit Menu:
* Split Clip - Cut a clip at the playhead. Source clips are never affected by SHAREfactory.Split Clip Mode includes 3 primary functions:
	+ Split cuts the clip at the playhead's position.
	+ Delete removes the clip from the timeline.
	+ Snip combines Split and Delete to remove all footage to the right or left and the playhead, whichever endpoint is closest.TIP: This is a great tool for precise editing and timing with Music Tracks.
* Trim Clip - Enter the Trim Screen to quickly set the endpoint of your selected video.
* Move Clip - Change the position of the selected clip in the Timeline.
* Delete Clip - Remove the clip from the project. (Clip remains in the Capture Gallery).

**Filters**

Filters apply full screen effects to the video or screenshot on Track 1 and displays from the full duration of the clip.
* Many Filters include extra Filter Settings that can be modified with Edit Filter > Filter Settings​.

* Just as Overlays, Filters can be stopped from displaying for the full duration of the clip by using Split Clip​
* Filters can also be applied to Track 2 clips and Photo Editor Projects​

**Layouts**

Much like Filters, Layouts​ apply to the full duration of a Video Clip or Screenshot​. There are 2 types of Layouts:
* Default Layouts​, which include can either display the image offset over a Theme Art backdrop, or those that display "letterboxing" aspect ratio effects.
* Layouts also include Vignettes​, many of which include extra Layout Settings​ that can be adjusted for Intensity or Color options​.

Layouts can only be applied to​ Track 1 in Video Projects​, however you can also apply Vignettes to Photo Project frames​.

**Time Bender**

Time Bender is an option that allows you to change the playback speed of your videos to create time-lapse or slow-motion effects.
You can also change the blending options for the clip to STEP or SMOOTH to adjust how the affect will appear.

**Track 2 & Commentary**

Commentary received a major overhaul in Patch 1.08 by becoming the new Track 2 in SHAREfactory Film Projects. Track 2 supports a wide variety of updates and changes to recording commentary, as well as adding Capture Gallery video clips for Side-by-side videos and new Green Screen support.

**Music​**

 Music Mode allows editors to add their own custom audio tracks to their SHAREfactory Projects. You can also add your own Music and Audio files into SHAREfactory via USB. Just as Track 2, Music Mode is a separate and independent timeline from the main video timeline. As such any changes on the other timelines do not affect the positioning of others.
