Timeline
Navigate your video visually with the multi-track timeline — video, audio, B-roll, effects, SFX, and clips.
Multi-Track Timeline
The timeline at the bottom of the editor gives you a visual overview of your entire project. It shows all editing layers stacked vertically.

Tracks
The timeline has six tracks, displayed top to bottom:
Video Track
Shows the main video content with segment labels. Orange blocks represent kept segments — gaps between them are where cuts have been made. Each block is labeled with the segment's starting text.
Audio Track
Displays the audio waveform, making it easy to identify speech patterns, pauses, and volume levels at a glance.
B-Roll Track
Blue/teal blocks show where stock footage B-roll has been placed. Each block is labeled with its search query (e.g., "software development team", "video editing suite"). B-roll plays over the main video at these timestamps.
Effects Track
Color-coded blocks show applied visual effects:
- Purple blocks for color effects (e.g., Grayscale)
- Green blocks for lighting effects (e.g., Light Leak)
- Pink blocks for stylistic effects (e.g., Duotone)
Each block is labeled with the effect name and covers the duration it's applied.
SFX Track
Shows sound effects placed on the timeline. You can drag SFX from the library or use Auto Sound Design to let AI place them automatically.
Clips Track
Orange blocks represent AI-generated viral clips — short highlights extracted from your video. Each clip shows its title and duration.
