Key Functionality
When you click Edit Video from any access point, the video editor will open in a new tab. From there, you can make your edits and hit Export once you're ready to save the final version.
Navigating the Editor: What You Can Do
Edit Your Clips
Use the Media tab to drag and drop clips into the timeline. You can trim out long pauses, split a clip in two, move things around, resize them, or rotate clips as needed.
Change Aspect Ratios by Platform
Easily switch aspect ratios depending on where your video is going, 9:16 for TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Instagram, and more. Custom resolution calls for a number of pixels.
Text
This tab allows you to add text overlays.
Add Transitions
Make your video pop with built-in filters, visual effects, and transitions between clips.
Subtitles
Assets gone through Content Review is encoded with an .SRT file, so each piece of
content has subtitles ready to go at the appropriate second.
Use Timeline Tools
Use playback controls to preview your edits, zoom in or out on the timeline, and manage multiple layers like video, text, and audio.
Layers let you stack clips (e.g. background video, overlay text, audio).
Export Your Video
When complete, just click Export to download your finished video.
💡 Tip: Use keyboard shortcuts to speed up editing:
- Space bar – Pause/play
- S – Split the clip
- Delete – Remove a selected section
