  8. FAQ

Where can I download online censorship codes?

There are many online resources you can access to download censorship bleeps. These sites include soundjay.com and myinstants.com. If you want a longer beep sound, you can download an MP3 file from soundeffectsplus.com.

How can I solve the problem of constant browser crashes when editing my video?

The reliability of these web-based editing tools decreases if you put too much editing material (sound effects, video, images) in the timeline. Therefore, if your timeline is loaded with these items, it is likely to crash. To solve this problem, you should minimize the amount of editing material you download.
