The Clips editor pane
Fast, single-step video edits without leaving your canvas. Open it with open the clips editor or from the command palette. It’s an operations panel, not a timeline — a track-based editor is deliberately out of scope.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Pick a video from your workspace (generated clips, brand reels, anything that landed in the workspace
assetsfolder). - Choose an operation and its options.
- Run — ffmpeg does the work and saves a new file. Your original is never touched.
Operations
Section titled “Operations”- Trim — keep the range between a start and end time (a fast stream-copy, no re-encode).
- Reframe — centered crop to 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 for the platform you’re posting to.
- Caption — burn a line of text across the bottom.
- Convert — re-encode to mp4 or webm.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”ffmpeg must be on your PATH — the pane checks and tells you if it’s missing, with the install command. This is a desktop-app feature (it runs a local ffmpeg); it isn’t available in the web preview.
Frequently asked questions
Why is everything greyed out?
The Clips editor needs ffmpeg on your PATH. Install it (on Windows, e.g. `winget install Gyan.FFmpeg`), reopen the app, and hit refresh. The pane also only lists videos already in your workspace — generate or add one first.
