# Edit Like a Doc

> Edit your video by editing text — script-based editing with Sync Markers that keep narration and video perfectly in sync.

Section: Docs › Editing

Tutorial AI lets you edit your video as easily as editing a text document. Instead of working with a timeline, you edit a narration script — and the video updates automatically.

## Main concept

Think of the narration script as a separate, easily editable audio track that runs beneath your video recording. Every time you edit the script, your AI narration is **automatically** synchronized with your video content.

What sets Tutorial AI apart is its ability to automatically divide the audio into smaller segments and align them perfectly with the video, using **Sync Markers** placed in the script as a guide.

## Sync Markers

Sync Markers correspond to specific frames in the video recording and are generated automatically by the Recorder App.

By dragging and dropping a Sync Marker into the narration script, you tell the system to **synchronize a specific word in the narration with a specific frame in the video**. This ensures that the visual playback aligns precisely with the spoken content at that moment.

While this is simple with a single sync marker, it gets more complex as you add multiple sync markers. If there's too much audio for a shorter video section, the video will pause to fit the audio. If there's too much video for a shorter audio section, the video will speed up. You don't need to worry about this — **everything is handled automatically**.

### How the system works behind the scenes

## How to position a Sync Marker

You can reposition Sync Markers by dragging them within the narration script and dropping them onto a specific word.

The system automatically enforces **ascending order** for Sync Markers. While dragging, any part of the script where the marker **cannot** be placed appears **greyed out and inactive**. This prevents placing markers out of sequence.

## Deleting a Sync Marker

In advanced scenarios, you may want to remove a Sync Marker from the script (though this is usually not necessary).

**In the script**

Select the Sync Marker in the script and press **Backspace**.

**From the Sync Marker panel**

1. Open the Sync Marker panel

2. Select the Sync Marker and click the three-dot menu next to its label

3. Click **"Unlink"**

## Re-inserting Sync Markers

Deleting a Sync Marker from the script does **not** remove it from the system. You can re-insert it at any time:

1. Open the **Sync Markers** panel

2. Drag and drop the desired Sync Marker back into the script

## Sync Marker labels

Sync Markers are automatically generated by the Recorder App. The system generates a short descriptive label under each marker to help you identify what happened when the thumbnail was captured.

- To **edit** a label: hover over the three-dot menu next to the label and select **"Edit label"**
- To **remove** a label: choose Unlink or delete the Sync Marker from the script with Backspace
