Adding scenes

Scenes allow you to break up your video into smaller sections to better tell your story

Scenes can help you lay out your project to make a more complex video while keeping things organized. Your project will play based on the order of your scenes.

Using scenes vs. cameras

When you create a new project you will automatically start with 'Scene 1'. Each scene includes a large canvas area, so you can either extend your project by adding new cameras to the current scene, or you can add new scenes. Alternatively you can combine both these methods.

ICONS - Scenes Using scenes

  • Adding additional scenes is a very easy way to extend your video
  • Each scene is like a new section of your video
  • You can use scene transitions to control how your video moves from one scene to the next

ICONS - Camera Using cameras

  • Each scene will automatically include a starting camera, 'Camera 1'
  • Adding additional cameras to a scene allows you to move around the canvas area more freely
  • Cameras can be used to pan around the canvas area or zoom in and out
  • Cameras are ideal when you want to create a classic whiteboard style collage video

Please note: This article covers how to add scenes in your project. Check out this article to find out more about Controlling cameras.

Adding scenes 

The buttons at the bottom of the 'Scenes' ICONS - Scenes panel in the left-hand panel allow you to 'Add scene' ICONS - add, 'Duplicate scene' duplicate, and 'Delete scene' delete. You can have up to 25 scenes in a project.
