Good to know​

  • Processing takes a few minutes. While Edithly reads the video you'll see Preparing document…. You can leave the page and come back; the chat is saved under Chats.
  • The video needs captions. Edithly reads the video's captions, so videos without captions can't be added.
  • Chatting is free. Questions don't use credits. Only creating visuals does.
