Editing overview

The Edit workspace is the clip-based nonlinear editor. It combines a Media Pool, source and program monitoring, a multi-track timeline, transitions, clip effects, caption workflows, and a contextual inspector.

Start an edit

1. Import media.
2. Preview a source and set the range you need.
3. Place clips on video or audio tracks.
4. Trim, split, slip, slide, or ripple-delete clips.
5. Add transitions and clip effects.
6. Review the sequence in the Program Monitor.

Composition clips

Compositions can be placed on the Edit timeline as reusable clips. They use the same trim, split, transition, effect, and export workflows as other visual clips while preserving their layered source.

Non-destructive changes

Clip transforms, effects, speed settings, color adjustments, and transitions remain editable. Source files are not modified.
