Edit View and Graphics

Watch the cut as one continuous timeline, adjust joins from it, and move, retime, approve or send back the graphics your agent made.

Edit view (⌘ 3, or E from Cut) shows the cut as it will play: one continuous timeline of the kept parts, with their graphics.

Edit view: purple chapter flags named Light, Sound and Keep going on the ruler (1), a mark at every cut on the timeline (2), the graphics lane with a Zoom bar and an Info-Card bar, each with a note bubble (3), and a transcript showing only the kept words (4).

  1. Chapter flags, in purple on the ruler, at each chapter’s place in the cut.
  2. Cut marks: one at every join, green once it is accepted and amber when it is flagged.
  3. The graphics lane, above the waveform. Here it holds two graphics the agent made from notes: a Zoom and an Info-Card, each with a speech bubble for its note.
  4. The transcript shows only what’s kept.

Adjust a Join

Click a cut mark (or step to one with [ and ]). The playhead jumps there, the mark turns blue with a handle on each clip edge, and a popover offers:

  • Play: one second of the cut across the join.
  • Open in Cut (Return): switches to Cut with join review open on that join.

Edit view with the join at the start of the Sound chapter selected: a popover above it offers Open in Cut and Play (1), and a handle on each side of the join moves that clip’s edge (2).

  1. Open in Cut and Play, for the selected join.
  2. The handles on each side of the join.

Drag a handle to move that edge. The left handle is the end of the clip before the join; the right one is the start of the clip after it. Dragging away from the join brings more of that clip back; dragging toward it tucks it under. While you drag, the video shows the frame at the edge. Right-click a mark for Open in Cut, Play Join and Accept.

Graphics

Graphics are made by your agent, usually in answer to a tagged note, and follow the project’s Style. Each one is a bar on the graphics lane, showing its name and a speech bubble for each open note on it. Hovering a bar lights its words in the transcript; clicking it selects it and opens its popover.

To Do this
Move a graphic Drag the bar’s body
Change its length Drag its end. A caption timed from its words stays on its words: drag its start to change how early it appears, and its end to change how long it holds.
Approve it Select it and press A (again to unapprove)
Delete it Select it and press Delete
Ask for a change Select it and press N, or type in Ask for a change… in its popover

A note on a graphic follows the graphic’s timing, and the agent queue names the graphic, so your agent knows which one to fix. Some graphics can’t simply be stretched; when you change their length they are marked as waiting for your agent to retime them, with a clock on the bar. A broken graphic is hatched red, and its tooltip says what is wrong.

Every change saves within half a second, keeps your agent’s edits, and undoes with ⌘ Z.
