FAQ

Can I trim multiple clips?
You can only trim the main video clip which is the screen recording. The intro and outro clips will need to be edited on the Video Timeline by dragging the sides.
Why is my voiceover audio not aligned with the video after trimming?
Trimming removes voiceover and sync/pause markers. You will need to manually add them again.
Can I restore my video from its original state after making permanent changes?
Yes! Create a new blank Doc, select the option to add a video, search for the original video from the library, then click Add. This will generate a new Video Doc with the original screen recording.
