Editing your video
The editor
Last updated
The editor is where you review and refine a video. Open any project from your dashboard to get there. Everything for that video lives in one place.
How a video is built
Your video is made of segments. Each segment is a short part with its own line of narration. You work on one segment at a time, which keeps small changes quick and safe.
What you can do
- Play the video to preview it from start to finish.
- Read and edit the script for any segment, then re-narrate it. See Corrections & re-narration.
- Cut a segment you do not need, or trim silence at the end of one.
- Add a music track under the video. See Background music.
- Jump between parts using chapters. See Chapters.
- Change the voice or the script style, then regenerate. See Regenerating a video.
- Export the finished video and choose how to handle captions. See Exporting & rendering.
What the editor does not do
The editor works on narration, not on raw video frames. It does not re-cut the timeline or trim clips frame by frame. The segments come from your recording or deck. You shape the words and the voice, and ScreenDub keeps the video in sync.
