Frequently asked questions
- Can I preview changes before processing the full video?
- Yes, the interface shows a real-time preview of your adjustments on a frame from the video. Once you are satisfied, the full video is processed on your self-hosted SnapOtter server.
- What is gamma correction used for?
- Gamma adjusts the mid-tone brightness without affecting the darkest shadows or brightest highlights. It is useful for lifting detail in underexposed footage. All adjustments are processed locally on your server.
- Can I apply the same corrections to multiple videos?
- Yes, batch processing applies identical settings across all selected videos. Since SnapOtter is self-hosted, there are no per-video charges and your footage stays on your own network.
