A tour of the Advanced workspace

The magnetic storyline, connected tracks, inspector, scopes and keyboard-first editing.

Updated 7 October 2026

The Advanced workspace is for people who want to control every detail. It shows the same project as Simple, with more tools on screen.

What you see

  • Viewer with timecode you can type into.
  • Timeline with a magnetic primary storyline, connected tracks above it and audio lanes below, with waveforms.
  • Inspector for transform, crop, opacity, colour, speed and audio.
  • Scopes with a luma histogram, to check exposure.
  • Markers to flag moments on the timeline.

Keyboard first

Most things have a key. J, K and L play backwards, pause and play forwards. I and O set in and out points. B picks the blade. See Keyboard shortcuts.

Back to Simple

Press Tab at any time. Anything you made in Advanced stays in the project.
