  • Time : You can adjust timing of an element in timeline using start, end time. You can also move element across timeline using timeline position. Note that you cannot chnage the starting position of video so arbitrary trimming will not work.

Its scrollable so if you are not able to see your elements scroll down. To delete the element you can use delete button it will delete it from the timeline.
  • Zoom : By default app is in "Fit" mode that tries to display all the elements of timeline in a single window by adjusting the timeline to fit in window without scrolling.To see the detailed timing of element in timeline you can use zoom-in/zoom-out buttons. This will expand the timeline you can use horizontal scrolling to see relevant elements in the timeline.

  • I see black background in encoded video that was not there in preview? It was white in preview if your video does not takes complete width/height of canvas and there are no other elements in blank space it is treated as background and is painted as black, you can change the background in command or scale your video to take complete width, height
