🎬The Reel Editor

How the Reel Editor works

The two modes and when you get each, what every part of the screen does, where clips, text, captions and music live, how saving and exporting work, and the full list of keyboard shortcuts.

The timeline: trimming, moving and re-timing clips

How to read the timeline, select and move clips, trim them from either end, split, duplicate and replace them, what snapping and nudging do, how transitions work, and what each track control means.

Text and music on a reel

Adding text and choosing a style, editing the words, timing when text appears, entrance animations and looping effects, adding music from your own files, setting volume, and quieting a clip's own sound.
