Getting started
From your first upload to your first downloaded video: the workflow, the dashboard, preparing your takes, reviewing the result and what every status means.
This part of the help covers the path from an empty dashboard to a downloaded video. One video in ReadyForm is one project: you upload the takes you recorded for a single short, ReadyForm makes the complete edit and renders it, and you download the result. Reviewing and editing are there when you want them, not a required step.
New to ReadyForm? Start with how to create your first video and how the workflow works. Read how to prepare your takes before you record, so the edit has strong material to work with. The dashboard article shows where Home, Videos, Library and your account live, the statuses article explains what each video card is telling you, and the review article is a short pass to run before you publish.
