Timeline editing
Importing media, arranging clips, keyframes and transitions, and the default keyboard shortcuts.
The timeline holds video and audio tracks. Import local media into the project, drop it on a track, and arrange it with the mouse or the keyboard.
Clip operations
- Trim, split, move, duplicate, and delete clips
- Undo and redo across the editing session
- Adjust opacity, scale, position, rotation, and volume in the inspector
- Add keyframes for animated properties and transitions between clips
- Set a per-track audio mix
- Review with the playhead in the Program Monitor
Default shortcuts
Shown with the macOS ⌘ modifier; on Windows and Linux this is Ctrl. Every binding is remappable in Settings → Shortcuts, and conflicting chords are rejected rather than silently overwritten.
