How to Create a Mashed Video

Turn your snippets into one video

Written by Silvia Burgos

To create your video successfully, you need sufficient space on your device. As a guideline, if you're planning to create one one-second snippet each day for an entire year, aim for 3 GB of free space. Although the final file will be smaller, the app needs extra space to put your video together.

Step 1: Start a mash

While in your project, tap the play button at the bottom of the screen. This opens Mash Your Memories.

iOS

Android

Step 2: Select the dates to mash

There are several ways to mash a video. Both platforms offer month, year, date range, custom and Core Memories. Android adds week and all; iOS adds season and shuffle. On iOS, Core Memories appears once you've tagged a Core Memory, and Shuffle once your project has more than 30 seconds of snippets.

Android

You can choose to make a custom video, which allows you to mash all the snippets in the project, a period or range of time, or arbitrary snippets.

​The week, month, and year options allow you to combine preset periods easily. You can combine the current and previous week/month or any available year.

To mash every snippet in the project, tap Manual Selection and then Select (All) on iOS, or All on Android.

Tap Choose Dates, then the first and last day of the period, and tap Add to Mash.

To mash arbitrary snippets, tap Manual Selection and select the snippets you'd like to include in your mash.

Tap Add to Mash to save your custom selection.

On iOS, Choose Dates and Manual Selection open these settings straight away. For a month, year or other preset, tap the playing mash and then Edit Mash. You can choose whether the video plays forward or backward with Reverse (Backwards on Android). Forward is the default.

You can also choose the orientation of your video with Format (Orientation), mash only your Core Memories, and include or exclude your hidden snippets with Include Hidden / Exclude Hidden (Include Private / Remove Private). If you have a Pro subscription, you can add music and filters, remove dates/captions, and eliminate branding.

Edit a snippet without leaving the mash (iOS)

Tap any thumbnail under the preview to Hide it, Make Core Memory, Replace it, Edit Caption, or Edit the clip.

Tap + at the end of the thumbnails. Your library opens on the dates the mash covers. Pick a video, tap Add 1 snippet to project, choose your moment and tap Log. It joins the mash straight away.

Finally, tap the yellow Share button (Save & Share on Android) and choose the export quality: Best Quality (HD) or Standard Quality (720p).

Step 3: Share your video

Once your video is mashed, you can Share or Save it with Save Movie, Share Movie or Create Share Link. The time it takes to mash depends on your device and the number of snippets you're mashing.
