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.

How to use this section

Start in Edit workspace with clip, edit point, track, or timeline range. Use this section to understand the Editing workflow before jumping into isolated controls.

Read the overview first, then move into the specific task page that matches what you are trying to produce or fix. Oraphim panels are context-sensitive, so keep the intended clip, layer, node, track, or project resource selected while following a procedure.

Section-level verification

Play through the edit at normal speed and check upstream/downstream timing. For project-changing operations, save a milestone and reopen it before relying on the setup as a reusable production workflow. For anything that affects delivered pixels or audio, inspect a rendered file as well as the interactive viewer.
