Reviewing your timeline

The timeline view​

Once processing finishes, your stream lands on the timeline page. Every part of the video is broken into segments, and every segment carries a suggestion from your editor:

  • keep (green): worth including in the final edit
  • cut (red): filler, dead air, or off-topic
  • your call (gold): the editor isn't sure, and wants you to decide

Click any segment to preview it in the right-hand panel. The video jumps straight to that moment so you can hear the actual content before deciding.

Flipping decisions​

Every suggestion is just a suggestion. If a segment is marked keep but you don't want it, click the badge to flip it to cut. If something is marked cut but it's a moment you actually want, flip it to keep. The human is always in control. Your editor never makes the final call, and nothing is locked in until you export.

Anything marked your call is asking for an explicit decision. Those segments are the ones where the editor saw both signal and noise and couldn't pick a side. You'll need to resolve them before exporting, or hand them back with a single click and let the editor decide on its remaining picks.

The output length slider​

Above the timeline you'll see a slider that controls how long the final video should be. Drag it left to make a tighter, shorter cut; drag it right to keep more of the stream. The slider only moves segments your editor picked. Anything you flipped manually stays locked in place.

This is the easiest way to retarget a video. Cutting a one-hour stream down to a five-minute highlight reel and a 20-minute recap are usually the same set of decisions, just at different slider positions.

Take your time​

There's no penalty for being thorough. The timeline state is saved as you go, so you can close the tab, come back tomorrow, and pick up exactly where you left off. Nothing happens until you choose to export.
