Good to know
- The file extension isn’t the whole story. A .mov or .mp4 file can contain many different video codecs. AVI needs both the file type and the video codec to be on the lists above.
- Professional editing formats may not process. Codecs not listed above, such as Apple ProRes (common in exports from Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and professional cameras), may cause AVI to fail. If this happens, export a copy as H.264 .mp4 and run AVI on that copy. You can keep your original master file in your library.
- Very short videos: videos under 2 seconds may not process.
- Maximum length: 6 hours per video.
- On-screen text: text recognition stops after 50,000 words per video.
- Processing volume: a maximum of 120 videos per hour can be processed, and we recommend running AVI on no more than 50 videos at a time.
