BEFORE YOU START
Before you start
Open the project you want to work on. If you are new, start with the first-video guide before exploring these controls.
Screenshots show actual sample projects. Your interface may vary with your plan and updates. Instructions describe desktop browser operation; this guide can also be read on a phone.
Select tracks and clips deliberately
Presenter and speech tracks are separate. Click a clip’s body to show its properties. Clicking its presenter name may open replacement instead, so select an unoccupied part of the clip body.
- Action Avatar video clip.
- Action Speech clip for the same presenter.
- Clip body
- Selects the editing target. Check its type and track in Properties.
- Track eye icon
- Disabling a track hides it in the preview and excludes it from export.
- Track lock icon
- Prevents selection/dragging in the preview; it does not delete the track.
Change start time and duration
Drag the middle of a clip to move it in time; drag its edge handles to adjust its range. Use Properties to review exact values.
- Action Drag the clip body to move it.
- Action Drag the edge handle to adjust duration.
- Left and right edges
- Adjusts the clip range, subject to source-duration and speech-association constraints.
- Snap
- Snaps movement and resizing to other clip edges and the playhead. Holding Shift temporarily reverses the setting.
- Leading / trailing silence
- Adjusts the pauses surrounding speech, not the spoken words themselves.
Cut visual clips or split speech into sentences
For a visual cut, select the clip, place the playhead inside it and choose Split. Use Split into sentences to edit speech one sentence at a time.
- Action Select Split into sentences on the speech clip.
- Split / Ctrl+K
- Cuts supported avatar, media and text clips at the playhead. It is unavailable at the edge or for unsupported selections.
- Split into sentences
- Separates speech by sentence. Review the resulting audio, generation state and pauses.
Copy and align
Duplicate repeated content, and align timing and screen positions separately. Check the destination track and overlaps after pasting.
- Action Edit contains Selection, Add and Generate submenus.
- Ctrl+C / X / V / D
- Copy, cut, paste and duplicate. Select a clip first; in a text field these keys may operate on text.
- Align starts
- Uses timing actions to align start times.
- Left / center / right; top / middle / bottom
- Aligns objects in the picture, independently of their start times.
Navigate and zoom the timeline
Use horizontal navigation for long projects and zoom for precise adjustments. Timeline zoom does not change video duration.
- Action Use zoom to change the timeline scale.
- Horizontal navigation buttons
- Moves the visible timeline range left or right by one or five seconds.
- Minus / slider / plus
- Zooms the timeline. Zoom in when short clip edges are hard to grab.
- Ctrl+A / Ctrl+Shift+A
- Distinguishes selection within the current track from all tracks. In an input field, the command may select text.
- Arrow keys / Ctrl+arrows
- Moves supported on-screen objects by 1 / 10 pixels. Close inputs or menus and select the object first.
BEFORE YOU FINISH
One final check.
After editing, check the intended presenter, clip and display language. Generate and play changes that require rendering, then check the saved status.
