The editor is where you arrange media, text, timing, and playback once your project has structure. It brings together the preview canvas, timeline, left tool rail, and contextual side panels so you can refine the whole video in one place.
What the editor includes
Preview shows the current frame of your video and lets you interact with visible content on the canvas.
Timeline shows sections, layers, assets, and the playhead so you can control sequence and timing.
Right sidebar shows settings for the item you currently have selected.
How it works
The editor is designed around selection and timing. You choose a section, layer, or asset, then adjust it using the preview, the timeline, the left toolbar, or the right inspector depending on what you are trying to change.
Project-wide actions like changing tabs, generating content, or exporting happen alongside clip-level edits like moving assets, updating timing, and changing settings.
When to use it
Use the editor when you want to turn a generated or drafted project into a finished video. It is the main workspace for arranging visuals, editing script-related content, refining captions, managing asset tools, and preparing output through share and export.
Important behavior
The layout changes on smaller screens, where the product can switch between tool-focused and preview-focused views instead of showing every panel at once.
The available controls change based on what is selected and whether your project is still generating.
Some actions open in overlays or popovers; the editor remains the workspace you return to.
