Diagonal Bands (wedding)

Three tilted photo slabs appear one by one over a muffled qawwali intro, then the music opens on a hard cut and nine photos follow with cross-dissolves, a glow and a red tint (18.8 s). No filters — the photos carry the colour.

See how it’s built

Diagonal Bands (wedding) is 17 layers of video, text and sound stacked on a timeline. The structure view draws that timeline out — when each piece appears, how long it holds, what sits in front of what, and exactly which layers are yours to replace. No wording or footage, just the shape of the edit.

Reads the published template live each time you open it, so it always matches what the app loads.

How big the exported file will be

ExpoCut renders on your device and picks a bitrate from the frame size and the quality you choose, so the file scales with both. At 18.8s and 9:16, expect roughly:

Diagonal Bands (wedding) — estimated export size for 18.8s of video
Export setting	Frame size	Medium quality	High quality
720p	720×1280	8.6 MB	13 MB
1080p	1080×1920	19 MB	28 MB
4K	2160×3840	75 MB	112 MB

These are estimates from the encoder’s own bitrate rule, not fixed numbers. Busy footage — fast motion, grain, confetti, hard cuts — compresses worse and lands above the estimate; a mostly-static talking head lands below it. 1080p is the right choice for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, which all re-encode what you upload anyway; 4K is worth the extra size when you want to crop or reframe later. Uploading is where a big file costs you, not the render.
