What you can do in the editor EN

A timeline that cuts, reorders, silences, de-hesitates and layers, without touching the original.

The editor lets you cut, reorder, silence and layer a recording on a timeline. Nothing you do changes the original until you render, and you can always get the original back.

Open the editor

Open the recording's video page.
In the Edit tab on the right, choose Edit and trim video. To go straight to silence and filler-word tools, choose Remove silences and filler words instead.

You can also choose Edit from the recording's menu.

The editor is available only to the recording's owner. It also stays unavailable while the recording is still processing, and shows "This recording is still processing. The editor will be available once it has finished." See Why editing, sharing and captions wait for processing.

What's on the screen

Preview and timeline. The video plays at the top. Underneath, the timeline shows your recording as a track with its sound waveform. Use the play button or the space bar to play, and the zoom buttons to see more or less detail.
Edit, Audio and Transcript tabs on the right.
Undo and Redo in the Edit tab.
Restore original and Apply & render at the top of the page.

What you can do

Cut and reorder

Split the recording into segments, delete the ones you don't want, duplicate them, and drag them into a new order. Each segment is lettered by its place in the original recording, so the order stays clear after you rearrange. Ctrl-click (⌘-click on Mac) selects several segments at once, and the same shortcut works for other actions. See Cut out a mistake, and reorder what is left.

Silence sound without cutting the picture

Shift-drag across the track to select an area, then right-click it and choose Mute. The video stays and only the sound is silenced. Double-click a mute to remove it. From the same right-click menu you can merge segments or turn the selection into its own segment. See Silence a section without cutting the picture.

Remove dead air

In the Audio tab, set a silence threshold and a minimum silence length, then choose Detect. Silences are highlighted on the track, and Remove cuts them all at once. See Remove all the dead air automatically.

Mute filler words

Also in the Audio tab, Mute filler words finds hesitations such as "um" and "uh" and mutes each one. It needs a transcript with word timing, so generate captions first. See Mute filler words.

Reduce background noise

The Audio tab also has the Background noise filter, which applies to the whole recording. See Remove background noise from a recording.

Layer images, clips and audio

Choose Import assets… to place an image, a video clip or audio from your asset library on a track above the timeline. An overlay can cover the recording, or push the timeline apart to make room for it. See Add a logo, image, clip or background audio and Cover the track, or push the timeline apart.

Saving, rendering and going back

Your changes are saved as a draft automatically. The status at the top of the page shows "Saved" when it's done. A draft doesn't change the video viewers watch.
Apply & render rebuilds the video with your edits. It also clears the recording's transcript, summary and chapters, and the editor asks you to confirm first. See Save a draft vs Apply & render and Why rendering clears captions, summary and chapters.
Restore original discards all your edits and brings back the original video. It can't be undone, and it works however many edits you've made. See Editing is non-destructive: getting the original back.
