For more in-depth details, check out the docs.
-
Sign up and download the free desktop app

-
Make an online template
An online template is simply a collection of mogrt files. Make a folder in your sync folder and add your mogrt files to it, you have now made a template that will be synced to the online editor. These mogrts can optionally be further extended through the use of Modk commands.
-
Invite others to use your template
Invite someone by entering their email address in the templates settings with the desktop app, they can now open this template in the online editor where they'll see all the templates mogrts, edit their properties, and arrange them in sequence to create videos.
-
Rendering edits
The desktop app runs in the system tray and will detect when an editor has requested a render, this will automatically render the edit and send a download link to the user once complete. With the desktop app you can also choose to render any edits yourself or output edits to After Effects to make manual adjustments.
