Learn where to preview your take, move through the timeline, find editing tools, and save your work.

Before you start
Finish a recording or use Import a Video from the recording chooser. To continue existing work, open Library → Recordings and tap the recording.
Instructions
Step 1: Preview your take
Use the video preview to check your framing, overlays, and captions. Play the take to review the picture and sound together.
Step 2: Move to the moment you want to edit
Move through the timeline to position the playhead at the relevant moment. Select a clip or caption to bring up the controls for that selection.
Step 3: Pick a tool
The main toolbar groups the controls by what you want to change:
- + adds media.
- Edit opens clip-editing controls for the segment at the playhead.
- Words opens caption, hook-card, and signature controls.
- Audio opens audio controls.
- Look opens appearance controls.
The toolbar changes when you select an item or open a submenu. Use its back arrow to return to the previous controls.
Step 4: Check each change
Play the affected part again. Check text against the spoken audio and inspect the preview before exporting. Use Undo when you want to reverse an available edit.
Step 5: Save or export
To continue later, open the top-left Back menu and choose Save and Exit.
To create the finished video, tap Export at the top right.
What happens next
Save and Exit preserves your editable work. Export renders a finished video and continues to the sharing screen.
Troubleshooting
I cannot see the main toolbar
You may be editing a selected clip, caption, or overlay. Close that panel or use the toolbar’s back arrow.
Export is unavailable
Wait for analysis or an existing export to finish. The Export button is disabled while those operations run.
I want to leave without losing edits
Choose Save and Exit. Discard Changes is a separate action for abandoning changes, and Continue Editing keeps you in the editor.
