Open with a flash or a chat message
Two ways to hook viewers in the first seconds: a white flash, and a real chat message put forward.
The flash at the start#
- Open the Effects tool.
- Turn on Flash at the start.
- Keep or turn off Camera flash sound, the camera shutter sound that plays at the same moment.
It is a white flash on the first frames, like a camera. It lasts 0.22 s, and the picture starts 12% bigger before settling in under half a second.
The chat message at the start#
- In the Text tool, open the Chat tab.
- Turn on Chat message at the start.
The studio picks one real chat message from the first seconds and shows it big for 3 seconds.
If no message from the first seconds is readable on its own, the studio tells you. This option only exists for Twitch clips opened from their link.
