FAQ

Answers to common ZarachClipper desktop app questions.

Can I use ZarachClipper offline?

Yes for local desktop workflows when the local engine, source media, and required tools are available. Cloud sync, workers, licensing checks, and OAuth integrations require backend access.

Does ZarachClipper upload my videos automatically?

No. Cloud login syncs account/project/job metadata, but source videos stay on the device unless you explicitly choose Upload to cloud or full media import/download.

Can I import YouTube/TikTok/Facebook links?

The app can inspect and import supported public links where access is allowed. Some links fail due to restrictions or login requirements.

Why do some links fail?

They may be private, removed, region-blocked, login-required, protected, or unsupported by the current downloader/source rules.

Does it guarantee copyright safety?

No. The app can help track rights information, but it cannot guarantee that rights issues will never happen or that a platform has cleared the content.

Can I add background music?

Yes, but use music you own or have permission to use. Royalty-free music still has license terms.

Can I export TikTok/Reels/Shorts format?

Yes. Use 9:16 exports, caption-safe layout, and platform-ready metadata.

Can I edit captions?

Yes. Caption Studio supports text, timing, style, preview, SRT export, and burned-in captions.

Can I remove parts of a video from transcript?

Yes. Transcript Editor removes video/audio sections by timestamped transcript ranges.

Does it support batch processing?

The queue can track multiple jobs. Avoid overloading low-power machines with too many heavy tasks.

Where are exports saved?

Exports are saved in the configured local export/storage folder. Check Storage Manager and Settings.

Can I use cloud-sync folders?

Yes, carefully. The folder must stay available locally while jobs run.

Can I post directly to social media?

Only where official provider credentials, app review, secure token storage, and provider publishing code are implemented. Manual posting preparation remains available.

What does viral score mean?

It is a review score based on transcript/timing signals. It helps prioritize clips but does not make final editorial decisions.

Why is transcription slow?

Speed depends on source length, audio quality, model size, CPU/GPU capability, and memory.

What should I do if export fails?

Check Error Logs, Processing Queue, source media availability, disk space, and FFmpeg status.
