# Overview

> A guide to the Velo editor - what each panel does and how to navigate it.

### **1. What Is the Velo Editor?**

The Velo editor is where you finalize your Velo before sharing it. After
your Velo is generated, you are taken directly into the editor to make
adjustments.

* The **right sidebar** contains all the settings panels for
  customizing your video's appearance, content, and behavior.

* The **bottom timeline** lets you view and interact with the different
  tracks that make up your video.

* The **toolbar** at the top of the timeline gives you quick access to
  playback, cutting, cropping, and zoom controls.

### **2. Right Sidebar Panels**

The right sidebar is organized into dedicated panels. Click any icon to
open its settings:

  padding around your recording.

* **Scripts** - View and edit the narration script that was used to
  generate your Velo.

* **Insert** - Add text boxes, images, shapes, arrows, callouts,
  spotlights, masks, and zoom blocks to your video.

* **Cards** - Enable and customize an intro card that plays at the
  beginning of your video.

* **Face** - Toggle your VeloTwin face overlay on or off, reposition
  it, and adjust its size and shape.

* **Audio** - Control background music, master volume, and narration
  volume.

* **Settings** - Update the video title, description, and logo.

### **3. The Timeline**

The timeline at the bottom of the editor shows all the tracks in your
project. Each track controls a different layer of your video:

* **Camera** - Your VeloTwin face overlay segments.

* **Video** - The screen recording waveform and playback bar.

* **Zoom** - Zoom blocks that control when and how the camera zooms in.

* **Masking** - Mask segments that hide sensitive areas of the screen.

* **Spotlight** - Spotlight blocks that dim the surrounding area to
  focus attention on a region.

* **Callout** - Callout blocks that draw a highlighted box around a
  specific area on screen.

Drag the playhead to scrub through your video. Click any block in the
timeline to select it and open its settings in the right sidebar.
