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.

  1. Pick a video from your workspace (generated clips, brand reels, anything that landed in the workspace assets folder).
  2. Choose an operation and its options.
  3. Run — ffmpeg does the work and saves a new file. Your original is never touched.
  • 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.

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.
