When a recording has been edited, the viewer opens straight onto the finished cut. Everything you need to judge it — and most of what you need to fix it — is on the timeline underneath.

​
The timeline

Four tracks, top to bottom:
  • Main track. The recording, split into labelled sections with the narration’s loudness drawn over it. Drag a section’s ends to correct where it starts and stops.
  • Titles. The opening title card and any chapter cards.
  • Effects. Where the edit applies a zoom, a speed-up, a blur or a dub — and only where it does, so an effect stands out at a glance.
  • Comments. Your notes to the editor, shown as small clips.
Clicking anywhere on the timeline moves the playhead. The buttons beside play skip a spoken sentence backwards or forwards, which is the fastest way to step through narration.

​
Cutting

Click a section of the main track to select it, then press Delete to cut it. Press C to split the section under the playhead first when you only want part of it gone. Every cut leaves a small scissors pin on the timeline — click the pin to put the footage back.

​
Zoom, speed and effects

Click anywhere on the effects track to adjust the clip there — a small panel opens with a zoom target you can place on a miniature of the frame (like placing a camera), a zoom amount, and a playback speed. Click an existing effect to change it, or drag its ends to move where it starts and stops. Clicking empty space offers Add effect, scoped to the section you clicked in.

​
Titles and chapters

Drag the title card’s right edge to change how long it holds; click it to set its fade and colour. Click the title text on the video itself to rewrite it in place, with a small toolbar for font, size, colour and alignment. Click empty space on the titles track to add a chapter card at that moment — a titled beat between two sections, drawn like the opening card. Chapters are a good way to break a long video into named parts, and you can ask the agent to add them for you instead.

​
Comments — typed or spoken

Click the comments track to leave a note. Comment gives you a text box; Voice starts playback with your microphone open — everything you say lands as a comment at the moment you said it, so one watch-through of the video produces your full review. Captions are shown over the recording as soon as it is transcribed; click one to open the transcript editor and fix any wording before the edit is made. Comments drive the agent: ask it to “work through my comments” in chat and it acts on each one. Notes the app writes on the agent’s behalf (a record of what you changed by hand) appear gray, so your own notes are easy to spot. Everything you change by hand — a cut, a zoom, a chapter — is recorded for the agent too, so a later “tighten this up” builds on your fixes instead of undoing them. Ctrl+Z undoes your last hand edit.
