It is eleven at night. You have three pages open, one for each tool, and a downloads folder with nine video files.
They are called "clip2", "clip2-good", "clip2-final" and "clip2-final-for-real". You don't remember which one was good, or how much you paid for each.
You still have to open an editing program to join them.
"Every time you try something, there's no memory of what was good or what was bad."

The steps, one by one
In UGC Viral Studio, the Video Studio screen follows the shot plan you approved:
- The start picture. For each shot you choose the image the clip starts from.
- One clip per shot. The price shows on the button before you press it. Pressing is your approval.
- Redo the one that came out wrong. If you don't like a clip, you make another one for that shot only. Every version stays saved in the same video.
- Approve. You choose one clip per shot.
- Join. The approved clips are joined in shot order, with their sound. It happens in your browser, at no cost.
- Download. The final video is saved and you download it with one button.
What a retry costs
Every attempt is paid for. That is why it helps to know the numbers before you start:
An example, not a promise: with those numbers, one usable shot can cost between 46 and 69 US cents of generation. The real price shows on every button.
Two ways to reach the same video
By hand
- one page per tool
- download each clip and name it
- write down what you paid for each attempt
- join the clips in an editing program
In UGC Viral Studio
- one clip per shot, on one screen
- every version saved in the video
- the price on every button
- the approved clips are joined in the browser
Either way, you decide which clip works. What changes is where each attempt is kept.
