How to manually edit Video Steps to customize and refine the video content in your guides.

Updated over 2 months ago

Video Step is a step that includes video content. These steps are either generated by the Automated Video Snippet feature or by uploading MP4 files through the Add Step (all plans)/ Upload video (Enterprise) functionality.

Manual editing allows you to:

🎞️ Split a video

🏞️ Add a Snapshot from a video

βœ‚ Trim a video

πŸ“‘ Sync Captions

​

1. Click "Edit video"

To start editing a video step, click on the "Edit video" button on the toolbar.
​

Click 'Edit video'


2. Play / Pause

Preview the video anytime by pressing "Play" to review how your edits look before and after making changes.

3. Zoom in for precise editing

Adjust the zoom level on the video timeline for more precise editing, particularly helpful when fine-tuning smaller segments.

4. Split

Now, let’s look at how to split video steps. You can place the timeline pin at your desired split point. After that, simply click the β€˜Split’ button. This will split the video into 2 separate video steps.

5. Snapshot

Another useful feature is the snapshot functionality. This action will break the video into a video-slide-video format, allowing users to pinpoint exact moments in their video content for better structure.

6. Trim

You can also trim your video by simply dragging the left or right corners of the video timeline to adjust the start or end of the step.

⚠️ Once saved, new video steps are treated as separate entities. The only way to revert changes is through the Undo button, which restores the video to its previous state.


8. Save edits

To apply your changes click the save button.
