Limitations[edit]
There are limitations to the functionality of this feature. Replays played on Custom Stages in Stage Builder cannot be used in this mode. This also applies to replays featuring DLC Fighters that the player does not own. Spliced clips must be at least one second in length to be usable, otherwise it will be deleted after saving. While progress can be saved at any point, only one save file is available at a time. Any previous save data will be automatically overridden. Only one set of subtitles and one music track can be used in a replay. Only snapshots taken from battles can be used in a video. Screenshots taken by the Switch capture button and edited screenshots from the Switch photo album cannot be used. Replays, videos, and snapshots taken before the current update cannot be used due to gameplay changes possibly causing desyncing issues.
Due to these shortcomings, those that wish to use video files as parts of bigger projects often either minimally edit the video natively before transferring the file to a PC with professional editing software, or circumvent the feature entirely by recording footage with a capture card.
