The studio

The timeline

Below the canvas is a proper non-linear editor: unified tracks, draggable clips, ripple and roll edits, nested compositions, and audio with real waveforms.

Tracks & clips

Every layer rides a track. Tracks are unified channels — any clip on any track — so you stack, reorder and tint them freely. Drag a clip to move it; drag its edges to trim; grab the seam between two clips to roll the edit.

Editing that feels right

  • Snapping magnets clip edges, the playhead, markers and keyframes.
  • Push a clip into its neighbor to overwrite/ripple — commit on release, one undo step.
  • Link clips (DaVinci-style) so they move, trim and delete together.
  • Split with the razor; the split is keyframe-aware and stays continuous across the cut.

Nested compositions

Nest a frame as a clip to build pre-comps. Double-click to drill in; the playhead maps into the nested comp's own time. Speed, loop, ping-pong and reverse all work per clip.

Audio

Audio clips show real decoded waveforms and carry keyframeable gain, fades, a parametric EQ and pitch — see Audio effects. Add a procedural waveform or spectrum visualizer that reacts to any clip's sound, live.

Getting around

Space plays and pauses. Scrub the ruler to move the playhead. Zoom the timeline horizontally and vertically; open the curve panel to edit eased keyframe curves directly.
