Read before this
Read these direct prerequisites in order. Each guide lists any earlier context it assumes.
Make several precise adjustments to a finished cut
A callout arrives before the action it describes, and two scenes leave too much silence. Use the full editor when you need to align elements against the timeline and check the changes together. Confirm which copy you are editing before saving.
For a wording correction that applies to one scene, request the change in its conversation first. That keeps the instruction with the current project. Request a targeted revision.
Find the affected scene and layer (illustrated guide)
Use the video editor for precise scene timing, layer placement and visual adjustments. For a new story or a broad narration change, describe the revision in the video’s conversation.
Before you start
Use a desktop browser and open a video you own. Wait for active generation to finish. Editing a finished premium-model video requires Basic or higher; Free accounts can edit ngram-flash videos. Keep the project open while edits are unsaved.
Open and edit your video
- Open Projects and select the finished video you want to change.
- Turn on Edit above the video preview. Wait for the canvas and timeline to load.
- Select the scene in the timeline. For a layer change, select the text, image, shape or video on its canvas, or find it in Layers.
- Adjust the selected layer using its available controls. For a timing change, use the scene’s trim handles or place the playhead and choose Split at playhead.
- Play the affected section. Use Undo or Redo to correct a staged change before saving.
- Choose Save and wait for saving and rendering to finish. Review the resulting video before downloading or sharing it.
Choose the right controls
Use the timeline to select scenes and adjust their timing. Layers helps you select nested elements; Text, Uploads, Elements, Effects and Backgrounds provide visual editing controls. Open Script for narration changes or Music for the soundtrack. The available controls depend on the selected content.
Save timeline changes before continuing with layer edits when the editor asks you to. Script and other panels can have their own apply action: follow the action shown in that panel and review its result.
Save and check the result
Unsaved changes means your current edits still need attention. Saving… or Rendering… means work is in progress. A saved draft and a finished video are different states: wait for the updated preview, then replay the changed scene and its neighbors. Keep the same conversation when reviewing the result.
If the editor or preview does not load
Wait for the video and editor to finish loading. Use Try again for an editor load error or Retry preview when that control appears. If the same problem returns, keep the project URL and contact Support with the affected scene, browser and visible error. Do not regenerate the whole video just to retry a preview.
If saving does not finish
Keep the editor open and preserve any wording you need. Use Retry Save when it appears; avoid starting a second edit while the save is pending. If another change has made your draft conflict with the latest project, copy your unsaved wording before choosing Load latest, then review the latest version and reapply only the changes still needed.
Use Cancel when you intend to leave the editor. If asked about unsaved changes, keep editing until you have saved or intentionally discarded them. Contact Support if an expected saved result is still missing, and keep the original project while it is investigated.
Keep going
Edit scene content, layers, media, audio, interactivity, and timing inside a conversation.
