The site claims "versatile codec support" but I couldn't get it work with anything except the most vanilla h264 files.

(though as I am working on a similar product I am aware that handling all the codecs is quite a bit more painful than it first seems)

Here is the list of all the formats we support: https://docs.rendley.com/video-clip

Which codec have you had problems with?

.avi file just shows a spinner in place of the preview, never finishes loading

.mkv files are not enabled in the file picker, if I select one anyway it loads, but the export hangs

hevc .mp4 loads, but the exported video is all black

We have identified the issues related to AVI and HEVC and will fix them as soon as possible. Regarding the MKV file, the rendering process hangs a little bit until the demuxing is complete. However, it should continue smoothly once demuxing is finished.

Would be amazing if you could share the mp4 files you're having problems with. Thanks!
