# Editor Overview

> A tour of the Tutorial AI editor — script editor, AI writing tools, toolbars, video preview, Brand Kit, Sync Marker Rail, and sharing.

Section: Docs › Editing

The Editor is where you craft your video and audio projects. Unlike traditional video editors that use timelines, Tutorial AI uses a **script-based approach** — you edit text, and the video updates to match.

## Key areas of the Editor

The numbers match the callouts in the screenshot.

### 1. Script editor

This is where you write and edit your narration script, which replaces the traditional video timeline. Change a word and the voiceover and video timing update to match. [Sync Markers](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/edit-like-a-doc) placed in the text tie words to moments in your recording.

Zooms, [voice tags](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/voice-tags), and slides sit inline in the script, so you edit them right where they happen.

### 2. AI writing tools

The bar at the bottom of the script: **Ask AI**, **Optimize**, **Enhance**, and **Tone** rewrite your narration — polish rough wording, add missing detail, or change the tone. See [Ask AI](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/ask-ai).

### 3. Script toolbar

**Add zoom** adds a [zoom](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/zooming) to the script, and **Add slide** adds an intro, agenda, outro, or other [slide](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/slides).

### 4. Video toolbar

The tools above the video preview:

- **Clips** — edit your recording footage ([overview](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/clips-overview)): [cut and trim](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/cut-and-trim), [split and remove clips](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/split-and-remove-clips), [insert more recordings](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/combine-videos), and [blur](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/blur) sensitive data (blur is available on Growth, Team, and Enterprise plans)
- **Background** — [wallpapers, gradients, or solid colors](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/backgrounds), plus padding, rounded corners, and shadow
- **Cursor** — [cursor size and movement](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/cursor-effects)
- **Music** — [background music](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/background-music)
- **Highlight** — [dim everything except the area viewers should focus on](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/highlights) (Growth, Team, and Enterprise plans)
- **Caption** — [captions](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/captions) for your video

### 5. Video preview

A live preview of the finished video. Press play at any time to see your latest edits, including everything you set from the video toolbar.

Right-click the preview for shortcuts to the current frame:

- **Add highlight**, **Add blur**, **Add zoom** — add a [highlight](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/highlights), [blur](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/blur), or [zoom](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/visual-effects/zooming) at this point. Highlight and blur are available on Growth, Team, and Enterprise plans.
- **Copy frame** — copy the frame to your clipboard.
- **Download frame** — save the frame as an image, for example as a [cover image](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/publishing/export-video#downloading-a-cover-image).
- **Source size** — the original recording's size in pixels. Match it when you record footage to [replace a clip](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/update-or-replace-footage#replacing-a-clips-footage).
- **Edit clip** — open this clip in [Clips](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/clips-overview).
- **Add sync marker** — add a [custom Sync Marker](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/script-editing#custom-sync-markers) at this point.

On a slide, the menu only offers **Copy frame**, **Download frame**, **Source size**, and **Edit clip**.

### 6. Brand Kit

The **Brand** button next to the project title applies your [Brand Kit](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/branding/brand-kits) — logo, colors, and fonts. Brand Kits are available on the Team and Enterprise plans.

### 7. Video / Document

Switch between the video and the [written document](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/getting-started/article-basics) generated from the same recording.

### 8. Sync Marker Rail

The spine on the left edge of the script. Open it to navigate through the key scenes of your recording, similar to slides in a presentation. [Sync Markers](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/voiceover/script-editing#sync-markers) are created automatically when you click on items while recording with the Desktop App, and you align the video with your script by dragging them into the script.

> **Note:** You only need the rail if you prefer to type your own script rather than using AI transcription or an AI-generated script. To open it, click the spine on the left edge of the script.

### 9. Invite & Share

**Invite** gives workspace members and collaborators access to the project. **Share** is where you generate the final video, then publish it as a link or embed, or export it — see [Publish & Share](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/publishing/publish-share). The project name sits at the left of the same bar.
