Video Editor Guide

Choose your clips, keep the moments you want, adjust the framing, then generate a new video. Your original videos stay unchanged.

Add and Arrange

Tap + to add videos from the available list. Use the up and down arrows beside a clip to change its position. Videos are joined from top to bottom; the header shows the clip count and the total selected duration.

Choose a Time Range

Drag either end of the timeline to choose the clip’s start and end. The times below show the selection. Tap Play to preview that range. Cuts are aligned to output frames when generating.

The orange area is the part you keep. Move either end to adjust the selected range.

Zoom and Reframe

Place two fingers on a clip’s video picture, then spread them apart to zoom in or pinch them together to zoom out. Zoom ranges from 1× to 4× and focuses around your fingers. Use the video picture, not the timeline.

The picture shows the output canvas. Drag with one finger to position overflowing content, including at 1× in Fill and crop. Pinch to zoom from 1× to 4×. Directions without overflow scroll the list.

Framing is part of your edit: the chosen view is used in previews and the generated video. Zooming crops and enlarges existing pixels; it does not add detail to the original.

  • Spread two fingers Zoom in

Copy, Mirror and Remove

Open a clip’s … menu and choose Duplicate to insert a copy just below it. The copy keeps its framing and mirror setting, but starts with the full video duration. Trim each copy independently to keep different moments from the same source. Delete removes only the editing entry, not the original file.

Tap the mirror button beside a clip to flip it horizontally; tap again to undo. Use the up and down arrows to arrange clips.

Duplicate a clip, choose a different time range, then arrange the clips in the order you want.

Save and Restore Drafts

Open the clock button to save the current edit, update the active draft, or save as a new draft. Drafts keep clip order, time ranges, framing and mirror settings. Restore a saved draft to continue editing. If you have unsaved changes, choose whether to save or discard them before restoring. Deleting a draft does not delete the current editing queue.

Drafts store editing instructions, not copies of the source videos. If a source is missing or unavailable, its entry retains its settings and shows an error. Remove unavailable entries before generating. Saving a draft and generating a video are separate actions.

Generate and Review

Choose output size, aspect ratio, frame rate, fitting and quality at the top. Automatic uses the largest source canvas and highest frame rate, up to 60 fps, regardless of clip order. Generate joins the clips in order. An unchanged edit reuses its existing result. Keep the app open for long exports.
