Editor Overview

Opening the Editor

There are several ways to open the video editor:

• From any asset — Click "Edit in Video Editor" on any video asset's detail page.
• From Create Clips — Select approved clips in the Clips tab, then click "Build in Editor". Each clip lands on the timeline pre-trimmed to its exact time range.
• From the sidebar — Navigate to the Video Editor section directly.

When you enter the editor from an asset or clips view, clicking back returns you to the page you came from.

Timeline Interface

The editor uses a multi-track timeline similar to professional editing software:

• Video tracks — Drag and drop video clips onto the timeline. Split, trim, and reorder.
• Audio tracks — Add music, voiceovers, or sound effects on separate audio tracks.
• Text tracks — Add text overlays and captions that appear at specific timestamps.
• Image tracks — Add static images or logos as overlays.

Tracks support magnetic snapping so clips align precisely on the timeline.

Search for Background Music

1. Open Audio, then select Music Search.
2. Describe a mood, style, or instrument, then select Search.
3. Select Play to preview a track. Use the preview slider to move to another part, including while paused. Select Load more for more results.
4. Select Add to save the track in the project's My Audio library and add it to the timeline.

Tracks already in your library show Saved to My Audio. You can still select Add to place another copy on the timeline. To upload your own audio, open My Audio and select Upload. Included Music contains the editor's built-in music collection.

Use the timeline audio controls to trim the track and adjust its volume. Saved tracks remain available when you reopen the project. If a search preview expires, repeat the search to get a new preview link.

Undo & Redo

Every timeline action supports undo and redo. Use Ctrl/⌘ + Z to undo and Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + Z to redo. This covers all operations including trimming, reordering, adding or removing layers, and property changes.

Preview

The preview panel shows your video in real-time as you edit. Use the playback controls to scrub through the timeline, play/pause, and jump to specific points.

Aspect Ratio Presets

Switch between aspect ratios with one click:

• 9:16 — Stories and Reels
• 1:1 — Square feed
• 4:5 — Portrait feed (Meta recommended)
• 16:9 — Landscape

Your timeline layout adapts to the selected ratio, making it easy to preview how your ad will look on each placement.

Check a 4:5 Crop

Use 4:5 crop check to see the area kept by a centered 4:5 crop. Keep faces, products, and captions inside this area. This guide changes the preview only. It does not change the export format.

Saving and Exporting

Your edits are saved automatically as you work. When you're ready to export, click "Export" to render the final video. A Finished video export uses one video render credit. Hook, body, CTA, and custom reusable exports do not use a video render credit. You can also feed edited videos back into the modular sequencer for combinatorial rendering.

Team feedback

Use Video Reviews to request feedback on a fixed version before export. Teammates can comment at specific times, approve the version, or request changes.
