The Video Editor is a timeline. Bring in clips, arrange them, add captions, and render — the finishing step after generation.

​
When to use it

Reach for the editor when you have footage and need precise control over timing.

​
Projects

Work is organized into projects, each with a name, optional description, and thumbnail.
  • Create a project and name it
  • Search your projects by name
  • Open one to edit
  • Changes save as you work

​
Editing

Inside a project you get a timeline where clips are arranged and timing controlled, plus tools to add clips, edit captions, and trim. Source material comes from your generations and uploads in My Assets — generate in Pixio, then assemble here.

​
Rendering

Rendering produces the final video file from your timeline.
Rendering happens in the app. Headless renders, exports, and render progress aren’t available through the API — you can build and edit a timeline programmatically, but the final render is app-only. See what you can automate.

​
Working efficiently

1

Generate first, assemble second

Fixing a bad clip is a new generation, not an edit. Get the clips right before building the timeline around them.
2

Keep source material in Assets

Everything on the timeline comes from your library — it’s the staging area.
3

Caption last

Captions follow timing. Re-cutting after captioning means redoing them.
4

Render when you're done

Rendering is the commit step. Preview before you spend the time.
Timeline project CRUD and validated editor operations are scriptable — only the render isn’t. Useful if you want to construct a timeline from code and finish it in the app.
