The editor at a glance

The editor is where you'll spend most of your time. It's organized into three resizable columns plus a header. Once you know the layout, everything else clicks into place.

What does the editor look like?

• Left column — video player, shot tools, AI sensitivity slider.
• Center — the storyboard itself in whichever view you've chosen.
• Right column — notes and custom data fields for the selected shot(s).
• Header — filters, view switcher, visual effects, favorites toggle, hidden toggle, zoom, and share.

You can drag the column edges to resize them.

What can I do from the left column?

• Watch the video. A live player tracks the currently selected shot. Hover to reveal controls; press Space to play / pause.
• Pick a tool.
  • D — Default (select).
  • C — Split (cut a shot at a frame).
  • J — Merge (join consecutive shots).
  • F — Frame Selector (choose a thumbnail).
• Adjust AI shot detection sensitivity with the vertical slider.

See Splitting & merging shots and AI shot detection sensitivity.

What's in the center?

Your storyboard. You can show it in three ways:

• B — Storyboard view. Big shots with notes alongside.
• L — List view. Compact horizontal rows.
• T — Thumbnail grid. A dense overview.

See Storyboard, list & grid views.

What can I do from the right column?

The right column is your notes & data panel.

• Favorite the selected shot with the heart icon. (Favorites)
• Hide the selected shot with the eye icon.
• Fill in any of your active note fields — text, number, dropdown, tag, checkbox, or rating.
• Click Configure notes & data to open Preferences and add or remove fields.

See Adding notes.

What's in the header?

• Search bar. Filters shots whose notes match your query.
• View switcher. Storyboard / list / grid.
• Notes & data field selector. Toggle which fields are visible right now.
• Visual effects menu. Black & white, boost contrast.
• ♥ Favorites toggle. Show only favorited shots.
• 👁 Hidden toggle. Show or hide shots you've hidden.
• Zoom slider. Resize thumbnails.
• Share link button. Publish a sharable link.

How do I undo something?

Cmd+Z (Ctrl+Z on Windows) walks back through your edits — see Undo and redo. The Version history button in the toolbar shows every restore point, lets you look at one, and puts it back. See Version history.

To carry values from one shot onto a run of others, see Copy & paste metadata.

How do I move between workflows?

Use the workflow switcher in the top-left, or jump with the keyboard:

• S — Shots (you're here).
• R — Transcript.
• A — Statistics.
• X — Export.
