Group Video Preview vs Final: What's Different?

When you create a group video on Memento, it's helpful to understand the differences between the preview that you can watch as you're editing your video and the final video that you will be able to share once it's complete. This guide will outline these distinctions to ensure you have a clear understanding before sharing your masterpiece.

1. Face Collage (Placeholder vs. Real Faces)

In the preview stage, what we refer to as the"Face Collage" utilizes placeholders in place of real faces found within the video clips. During the final rendering process, these placeholders are replaced with the actual faces detected in the videos you've collected and included.

2. Live Preview Buffering vs. Final Video Stability

During the live preview, you may occasionally notice buffering, indicated by a loading spinner. This happens as the preview downloads necessary resources. Rest assured, this buffering is not present in the final rendered video.

3. Audio Variance

While the live preview provides a close representation of the final video, you may notice minor variances in audio during this stage. These nuances, however, will not be present in the final video.

4. iOS-Specific Limitations

Please note that page turn transitions or animations may not display on iOS devices during the live preview. This limitation is specific to iOS and does not affect the final video output. We recommend reviewing the final video on multiple devices to ensure compatibility and visual integrity across platforms.

The group video preview will give you a great sense of what your final group video will look like. By understanding the minor differences between the group video preview vs final video, you can confidently proceed with creating and sharing a thoughtful and memorable group video.
