Clips and the editor

The editor: B-roll, music and SFX

Three tiles in the editor add layers on top of the talking head: B-roll for footage and images, Music for a bed under the voice, and SFX for hits, whooshes and stings. Each is placed on the timeline and rendered into the final MP4.

What you'll seeThe whole screen, for orientation — the steps below zoom in.
  1. 1

    Add B-roll

    Click the B-roll tile. Auto b-roll sources stock video for the clip at a density of Light (2 clips), Medium (3 clips) or Heavy (4 clips) — press Add. Or pick by hand from the tabs: AI suggestions, Search (images), Pexels (video), GIFs, Uploads and Generate, which makes an image from a description.

    Choose a music bed

    Click the Music tile. Library lists curated stock tracks; Search looks up Pixabay; Uploads takes your own audio file; AI proposes a track for this clip; and the mood picker under Library generates a fresh track to match the mood at render time. A track and a mood are exclusive — picking one clears the other.

  3. 3

    Drop a sound effect

    Click the SFX tile. Sound effects are grouped as Whoosh, Impact, UI, Comedy and Transition. Use the Preview button to hear one, then add it; it lands at the start of the clip and is listed under "Added to this clip" with its start second; drag the marker on the timeline to move it.

    Check the timeline and render

    Every layer appears as a pill on its own row of the timeline, where you drag it to a new time or remove it. When the header reads Saved, press Render.

Good to know

  • The Music panel is not pictured: opening it asks the AI for a mood suggestion, which we do not run for a screenshot.
  • Uploaded B-roll and audio stay in your library for other clips.
