Why keep the clip short?

Reversing has to hold the whole selection in memory before it can play it back, so longer clips at higher resolutions use much more of it. Browser memory is limited — stay under about 15 seconds, or drop the output to 720p.

It failed — what now?

Shorten the selection, or set the output resolution to 480p or 360p and try again.
