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
