Video Editor
Build a visual multi-track composition from video, audio, images, and session media, then render an MP4 with your timeline edits.
Usage
Use Video Editor when you need to combine visual media and audio on a timeline before exporting a finished video.
The editor is useful for trimming and arranging clips, adding still images or text overlays, setting output framing, and balancing the soundtrack for a rendered MP4.
Open it from Studio → Video Editor (also available from Workbench → Audio Tools → Video Editor) when you want a visual composition workspace instead of an audio-only mixdown.
Before you start
Video Editor accepts visual media, audio, and image sources through the Add track workflow. Follow the file picker’s supported-media guidance for the exact source format.
Session sources must come from completed workspace sessions with a playable media artifact. A session that is still processing cannot be added to the timeline.
Local uploads and the current draft are stored in this browser. Keep the source files available in the same browser until the render is submitted.
The project timeline and output settings determine the rendered duration and framing. A deliberate gap between clips can produce a gap or black video in the export.
Render, session import, and optional audio processing can depend on sign-in, plan access, and available quota. If an upgrade prompt appears, review Billing before retrying.
Step-by-step instructions
Open Video Editor
Go to Studio → Video Editor from the sidebar, or open the Video Editor entry under Workbench → Audio Tools.
Add media tracks
Choose Add track and select Upload for local video, audio, or image media, or Session for completed workspace media. Each source becomes a track and clip on the timeline.
Arrange and trim the timeline
Move clips, trim their start or end handles, split at the playhead, and set precise positions in the inspector. Place adjacent clips without an intentional gap when the output should continue continuously.
Set layers and track controls
Use track order for visual layering, hide or show tracks as needed, and use mute or other track controls to decide which video and audio sources contribute to the render.
Adjust clip and output settings
Select a clip to edit speed, volume, fades, and other available inspector settings. Choose the output aspect ratio, such as 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5, before rendering.
Render the project
Review the timeline and output options, then click Render. VoxStudio submits a background task and keeps the project available while the MP4 is prepared.
Download or share the result
When rendering completes, use the result actions to download the MP4 or share it from the completed task. If the task fails, check source availability and timeline gaps before retrying.
Tips and examples
Keep adjacent clips aligned when you want a continuous picture. Use the inspector’s exact start time for precise joins instead of relying only on dragging.
Fade in, fade out, and per-clip volume are authored on the timeline and are applied during rendering. Inspect the rendered result if a fade crosses a clip boundary.
Render-time normalize or limiter settings affect the final audio master. Leave them off when you need the authored clip volumes to remain unchanged, or enable them deliberately as a final mastering step.
Use session media when the source already exists in VoxStudio; use local uploads when you need to bring in a new asset. In both cases, confirm the source is still playable before render.
Vocal Separation and Vocal Repair are separate audio tools. Run them as their own workflow when you need isolated or repaired audio, then use the resulting media in the editor or select only the applicable render-time processing option.
Common problems and fixes
Why is there a black section in my rendered video?
The timeline contains a gap or a visual track is hidden or ends before the next clip starts. Move the next clip to the intended adjacent start time, confirm the visual track is enabled, and render again.
Why did my fade or clip volume not appear in the export?
Fade and volume edits are render-time settings. Reopen the clip inspector, confirm the values are saved on the intended clip, and check whether output normalize or limiter is changing the final master level.
Why is a local upload missing when I render?
The draft still references a browser-local file that is no longer available. Re-add the source in this browser or remove the broken clip before submitting the render.
Why can’t I add a session source?
Only completed sessions with a playable media artifact can be imported. Wait for processing to finish, refresh the session list, and try again.
Why does the rendered video have the wrong shape?
The export follows the selected output aspect ratio. Choose the required ratio in the output settings before rendering again.
Why did Render fail or stop updating?
The task may have rejected an invalid timeline, unavailable local media, an unsupported source, or a temporary progress connection issue. Check the source files and clip ranges, then retry.
FAQ
Is Video Editor the same as Audio Editor?
No. Video Editor renders a visual multi-track composition to MP4. Audio Editor is optimized for audio-only arrangement and Mix down.
Can I use audio from a completed session?
Yes. Add a completed session source when it exposes playable media, then arrange that audio with the rest of the timeline.
Does Video Editor automatically run Vocal Repair or Vocal Separation?
No. Those are separate vocal tools. Use them explicitly when you need repair or stem isolation, and then add the resulting media to the editor or use an applicable render-time option.
Can I render without a video track?
Video Editor is a visual composition workflow, so include at least one visual source for a useful MP4. Use Audio Editor when you only need an audio mix.
Where do I find the final file?
After the background Render task completes, use Download in the completed task or result panel to save the MP4.
