Editor Overview

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

Script Editor

This is where you write and edit your narration script, which replaces the traditional video timeline. Instead of manually working with a timeline, you drag and drop Sync Markers from the thumbnail rail into your script, and the timeline is generated automatically behind the scenes.

You can also adjust video effects like zooming, add keyboard shortcuts, and edit slide contents directly from the script panel.

Video Canvas

The video canvas provides a live preview of your final video. Here you can:

Adjust the video format and aspect ratio
Add backgrounds — wallpapers, gradients, or solid colors
Control padding, shadows, and rounded corners
Enhance the mouse cursor appearance
Preview zoom effects and highlights

The toolbar provides access to enhancement tools:

Zoom markers — highlight important sections of your recording
Keyboard shortcuts — guide viewers on how to access features
Slides — add intro, outro, and chapter slides
Blur — hide sensitive data on screen
Cursor — adjust cursor size and movement

Title Bar

Your central hub for:

Naming your project
Granting access to workspace members and collaborators
Generating the final video

Sync Marker Thumbnail Rail

Navigate through key scenes of your screen recording, similar to slides in a presentation. Sync Markers are automatically created when you click on items while recording with the Recorder App.

You align your video with your script by dragging and dropping these Sync Markers into the script. Learn more in Edit Like a Doc.
