They sit under your voice; change it with `--set sfx.volume=low|medium|high`, or `--set sfx.zoom=impact` for a hit instead of a whoosh on zooms.

+## Copy a style, or edit videos from links
+
+`style copy` reads a reference video (a TikTok, Reel, Short or YouTube link, a direct video link, a local file or one of your video ids) and saves its look as a style: caption font, colours, word-by-word or letter-by-letter highlight, position, zooms and crop. Only the first 90 seconds are read; colours and font are a close match.
+
+```bash
+batchedits style copy https://www.tiktok.com/@creator/video/123 --name "Like this"
+batchedits run https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ ./raw --style "Like this" --out ./edited --yes
+```
+
+`upload` and `run` take links next to files and folders: YouTube links, or public links to a video file (direct .mp4, Dropbox, Google Drive). BatchEdits downloads them, which can take a minute for long YouTube videos.
