In today’s fast-moving production workflows, every second matters.
Being able to quickly extract a specific moment or image from a shared file can make all the difference.

That’s why HERAW introduces Crop & Clip — a brand-new feature that lets authorized users crop, trim, and export parts of a file directly from the platform.

🎬 A Tool Built for Creative Flow

With Crop & Clip, there’s no need to open an external app just to grab a still image or a short video segment.
Right from your player, you can now:

• Create an image from any chosen frame,

• Generate a video clip between two timecodes,

• Select your ratio, resolution, and format,

• And download your result instantly, if you have download permissions.

It’s fast, intuitive, and fully integrated into HERAW’s creative ecosystem.

✂️ Ratios That Fit Every Use Case

HERAW adapts to your creative and publishing needs with multiple ratio options:

• 1:1 for square social posts,

• 4:5 or 9:16 for vertical formats (Instagram, TikTok, Reels),

• 16:9 for traditional video outputs,

• Or Full Frame to preserve the original framing.

Each ratio automatically adjusts the crop area — whether for still images or video clips.

🧩 Two Modes: Image or Video Clip

The Crop & Clip interface gives you two distinct ways to work:

🖼️ Image

Capture a still from any frame in your video.
Choose your:

• Ratio,

• Resolution (e.g., 360 × 360 px or higher depending on the source),

• Format (JPG or PNG).

Perfect for generating thumbnails, previews, or visual references directly within HERAW.

🎥 Video Clip

Select your in and out points using timecodes.
HERAW automatically generates a new video clip according to your settings:

• Format: MP4

• Video codec: AVC

• Audio codec: AAC

• Frame rate: 25 fps

• Resolution: up to 720p or 1080p depending on the source

And of course — your original file remains untouched.

🔒 Respecting Rights and Security

Crop & Clip fully respects HERAW’s permission system.
➡️ Only users with download rights can export images or clips.

Administrators maintain full control over access and sharing while giving creative teams the flexibility they need to work efficiently.
Every export is logged in the project’s activity feed to ensure complete transparency and traceability.

🚀 A Time-Saver for Every Role

This new feature streamlines workflows for everyone involved in content production:

• 🎞️ Editors can quickly extract a reference shot or a segment for validation.

• 🧠 Project managers can grab visuals for presentations or briefs.

• 📱 Social media managers can create perfectly sized formats for each platform.

• 📺 Broadcasters can isolate clips for control or test broadcasts.

No more downloading large files just to get a small part of them — Crop & Clip brings smart, contextual access to your assets.

💡 Simple, Fast, and Fully Integrated

The goal is clear:

Empower teams to move faster without leaving their creative environment.

HERAW continues to evolve into a centralized hub for creation, collaboration, and validation — where even the smallest production actions are seamless, traceable, and secure.

Crop & Clip isn’t just a convenience feature — it’s another step toward a truly uninterrupted creative workflow.
