Timeline Panel

The bottom section of the editor is the Timeline, where you control the timing of your video.

  • Tracks:
    • Video Track: Shows thumbnails of your recording.
    • Audio Waveform: Visualizes the sound from your microphone and system audio.
    • Sticker Track: Shows bars for any added stickers.
  • Playhead: The vertical line indicating the current frame. Drag the handle at the top to scrub through your video.
  • Trimming: Drag the Yellow Handles at the start and end of the timeline to trim your video duration.
  • Zoom: Use the slider or scroll wheel (if supported) to zoom in/out of the timeline for more precise editing.

Inspector Panel

The left sidebar is the Inspector. It is context-aware, meaning it changes based on what you have selected.

  • No Selection: Shows global project settings (Background, Padding, Aspect Ratio, Export).
  • Zoom Keyframe Selected: Shows Zoom Level, Transition Speed, and Motion Style.
  • Camera Keyframe Selected: Shows Camera Position, Size, and Motion Style.
  • Sticker Selected: Shows Color, Text, Border, Roundness, and Animation options.
  • Camera Layer Selected: Shows Shape, Border, and positioning options.

Video Preview

The center area shows your video. You can directly interact with elements here:

  • Click to add a keyframe.
  • Drag stickers or the camera to move them.
  • Resize elements using the blue corner handles.
