The Editor

The editor is where your audio becomes a video. You design on a live canvas ? everything you add can be previewed in real time with your audio playing ? then export the finished video.

Canvas sizes

You choose a size when creating a design:

  • Story - 1080x1920, for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Portrait - 1080x1350
  • Insta Portrait - 1080x1440
  • Square - 1080x1080, ideal for Instagram feed posts
  • Landscape - 1920x1080, for YouTube, Vimeo, and TV

You can change the size later from the Design panel - the editor will confirm first, since templates and saved designs are filtered by size.

The tool sidebar

Everything you can add or edit lives in the left sidebar:

  • Design - pick a template or one of your saved designs, change the canvas size, and open Inspire Me (AI styles).
  • Background - solid or gradient colours, ready-made background video loops, or your own.
  • Image - upload images, generate them with AI, or search Pixabay and Giphy (including animated GIFs and stickers).
  • Slideshow - a multi-image sequence with transitions (one per design).
  • Text - headings, titles, and [timed text](/docs/text-and-timed-text).
  • Shapes - lines, squares, circles, and triangles.
  • Waveform and Progress - audio-reactive waveforms and progress bars.
  • Subtitles and Transcript - karaoke-style captions driven by your transcription.
  • Audio - audio settings for the clip.

The first time you open the editor, a short walkthrough points out each tool.

Working with elements

  • Select and move anything by clicking and dragging it on the canvas. Drag handles resize; each tool panel has alignment buttons (left/centre/right, top/middle/bottom) and fit-to-width/height shortcuts.
  • Layers - the layer panel lists every element. Drag to reorder, click the eye to hide, or the padlock to lock an element in place so you can't move it accidentally.
  • Copy and delete from each element's panel, and undo/redo from the header.
  • Zoom - from 10% to 200%, with presets and a zoom-to-fit button.

Inspire Me (AI styles)

Not sure where to start? Click Inspire Me. Pick one of twelve moods ? modern, bold, cinematic, warm, elegant, energetic, minimal, retro, nature, surreal, abstract, gothic ? and describe your video (if your audio is transcribed, we pre-fill the description from the transcript). The editor generates a matching background, colour palette, fonts, and subtitle effects in one go. You can optionally include an AI-generated background image, which uses image credits.

Saving and exporting

Saving is manual - use Save (or Save and exit) in the header. Export saves your design and starts the video render.
