If you’re editing a movie and your mouse pointer disappears, you’ll need to click on the Playhead and drag it in any directin to restore your mouse pointer. You can right-click to show the position of your mouse pointer. This is a known issue that we’re working on.

The audio automatically fades out at the end of Jumpcut movies that are more than 30 seconds long. This was done intentionally to avoid the jarring audio cut-out very often heard at the end of videos posted online. We realize that some users don’t want the audio to fade out, so here’s a way to eliminate it:

1. Open your movie in the editor
2. Click the +Add tab
3. Find the “Useful stuff from Jumpcut” folder in Your Media
4. Drag a black slug into the timeline at the end of your movie
5. Set the duration of the slug to 5 seconds on the Clip tab
6. Save your movie

The thumbnail image for a Jumpcut movie is automatically selected from the first video clip or photo in the movie’s timeline. If you want to change the thumbnail, here’s what to do:

1. Find a video clip that has a thumbnail you like (you may have to upload a new one)
2. Open the movie you want to change in the Jumpcut Editor
3. Go to the +Add tab and drag the new clip from step 1 into first spot in the timeline
4. Zoom in (press z or click on the green +) and drag the clip handles together to set the clip duration to zero
5. The clip won’t play since it has a duration of zero, but the system will select a new thumbnail

Note: We capture thumbs 10 frames in, so consider that if you’re creating a clip specifically for a thumbnail

Also Note: If you don’t have a clip with a thumbnail you like, you can use a photo, but the shortest duration for photos is .01 seconds, so it will play for .01 seconds at the beginning of your movie.

We’re working on making this easier, but for now, this is the way to do it.
