Make a clip in the editor

Layouts, captions, and everything else that goes into a video.

The editor opens when you press Edit on a highlight, New video on a selection or a highlight, or New project on Projects. Your project saves itself a few seconds after each change. You can also press Save or ⌘S.

Choose the shape

At the top, pick Portrait, Landscape or Square. Everything in the video adjusts to fit.

The panels on the left

  • Layouts: ready-made arrangements of the picture, captions, speaker and audio visualizer. Picking one keeps your text and your own changes.
  • Recordings: add the whole recording or one of its highlights.
  • Scenes: add a Title card at the playhead, or an Outro at the end.
  • Elements: Text, Solid, and things that follow the recording: Captions, Speaker name, Speaker handle, Speaker avatar, Lower third and the audio visualizer.
  • Uploads: your organization's pictures. Press Upload a picture to add one.

Click anything on the video or the timeline to change it on the right.

Captions

Add them from Elements → Captions. Select them to change the font, size, case, the highlight on the spoken word, and the background.

Captions come from the transcript. To fix a word in them, edit the transcript.

Theme

With nothing selected, the right side shows the project's Theme: its colours and font. See Themes.

Render

Press Render when it looks right. See Render a video. Your finished videos are under Videos in the top bar.
