The video editor lets you polish screen recordings into professional product demo videos. It provides a canvas-based preview, a timeline for arranging and trimming clips, tools for adding zoom effects and annotations, and AI voiceover generation.

​
Editor layout

Canvas

Shows a real-time preview of the current frame in your video composition.

Timeline

Displays all clips and audio tracks arranged over time. Drag, trim, and reorder directly on the timeline.
The right-side menu gives you access to:
  • Settings — video-level configuration
  • Clips — manage the clips in your composition
  • Subtitles — add and configure captions

​
Working with clips

A clip is a video segment in your composition. Your screen recording is automatically split into clips when you create a video demo.

​
Trim a clip

1

Select a clip on the timeline

Click the clip you want to trim. It becomes highlighted.
2

Drag the clip edge

Hover over the left or right edge of the clip until the cursor changes to a resize handle. Drag inward to trim the clip.
3

Preview the result

Move the playhead to the trimmed section and press Play to confirm the edit looks correct.

​
Reorder clips

Drag a clip left or right on the timeline to change its position in the video sequence.

​
Delete a clip

Select a clip on the timeline and press Delete. The clip is removed from the composition.
Deleting a clip is permanent and cannot be undone once you save. Use the undo shortcut (Ctrl+Z) immediately after deleting if you change your mind.

​
Adding zoom effects

Zoom effects draw the viewer’s attention to a specific part of the screen.
1

Select a clip

Click the clip where you want to add a zoom.
2

Open clip settings

In the right-side menu, click the Settings button.
3

Add a zoom keyframe

Use the zoom controls to set the zoom level and focal point at a specific timestamp on the timeline. Layerpath animates a smooth zoom between keyframes.

​
AI voiceover

AI voiceover generates a narration track from a script you provide. Layerpath sends your script to an AI voice model and adds the resulting audio to your video.

​
Generate voiceover

1

Open the voiceover panel

Click Settings in the right-side editor menu, then select the Voiceover tab.
2

Write or paste your script

Enter the narration text for your video. Each sentence maps to a segment of your recording.
3

Choose a voice

Select from the available AI voices. Voice options vary by workspace plan.
4

Generate

Click Generate voiceover. Layerpath creates the audio and places it on the audio track in the timeline.
You can set a default AI voice for your entire workspace in Settings → Brandkit → Voiceover settings. This pre-fills the voice selection when generating voiceover for any video.

​
Replace voiceover

To replace an existing voiceover, edit your script and click Generate voiceover again. The previous audio track is replaced.
