Timeline

The timeline is where your video takes shape. Clips and overlays appear as blocks on horizontal tracks.

Tracks

  • Your Gumlet source video loads on the timeline when you open the editor.
  • Add more tracks by placing items on empty rows, or use existing tracks for layering.
  • Track header controls:
    • Reorder track — drag the grip to move the track up or down
    • Magnet — enable/disable magnetic timeline (snaps clips together)
    • Delete track — remove an empty or unwanted track
