Need to trim a filmed clip or add a clip to a template? Tap the clip on the timeline until the yellow slider appears. Then use the slider to adjust the beginning or end of your clip as necessary. You can also select Discard to remove a clip completely.

Want to add transitions between clips? Choose the white box that appears between clips to open the transition options. Then scroll through to preview your choices. You can add a single transition between two clips or select the Apply to All button in the lower-left corner to use the same transition between all clips.

Need to add another clip or two to short-form video? Choose Add Clips in the bottom menu. Then select a clip from your gallery or tap to film one in the moment. You can also access the Reels Green Screen tool from this interface. Once you've added the new clip(s), select Reorder to complete the editing process.
