Feature
Start cutting the moment the card goes in
Drop a camera card, a folder or a recording into B/side for Mac or Windows and start cutting, picture and sound. Nothing has to finish uploading first.
Instead of an import bar and a transcode queue to sit through before the first cut.
- For Creators, Editors
- Plans Every plan, including Free
You shot it and you want to cut it now. With B/side for Mac or Windows you drag your footage into the app, and the clips come into your project ready to cut.
What happens when you drop a card
- Your clips come in with their sound, ready to load into the Source monitor.
- Nothing to wait for. You can cut while the editing copies go up in the background.
- Every sound track named. A recording with several audio tracks keeps each one separate, named as it was recorded.
Why it matters
The first hour with new footage is when you find the moments. Spending it on an import bar is how good takes get forgotten. Starting straight away means you are watching and choosing while the shoot is still fresh in your head.
Your only copy stays safe
If those files are the only copy of your shoot, B/side never touches them. It reads them and plays them. It does not move, rename or change anything on the card.
When you need more than one computer
Once your footage is in, the project opens on any computer, in the app or in Chrome. Share it, and the people you invite can watch and cut it too.
Recording with OBS
Drop your OBS recording in and every audio track comes in separate, named as it was in OBS. Your game and your microphone are ready to cut and mix on their own.
Questions
Do I have to wait for my footage to upload?
No. The app reads your footage where it is, and you can start cutting while lightweight editing copies go up in the background. Your originals stay where they are.
What do I need?
The B/side app for Mac or Windows. It brings the free desktop helper with it, so there is nothing else to install. Once your footage is in, you can also cut in Chrome.
Can someone else see footage I dropped in?
Yes, when you share the project. The editing copies are what make it playable on another computer or for a collaborator.
