# Camera clips and layouts

> Adjust your camera footage and choose where it sits on screen.

A well-placed camera keeps your face in the story without hiding the product.

**Ask the Agent:** "Cut the retakes from my camera clip." · "Split my camera clip at 0:45."

## Do it yourself

Camera clips come from [recording](https://docs.yarn.so/recording/screen.md) in **Camera and Display** or **Camera only** mode, from [**Record Talk Track**](https://docs.yarn.so/recording/talk-track.md), or from an [imported video](https://docs.yarn.so/recording/import.md) of you talking.

### Adjust the footage

Click the camera clip in the bottom track of the timeline to see its controls in the top bar.

| Control | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Adjust Camera Settings** | Adjusts the camera's brightness and color. **Audio Offset** fixes sound that's out of sync with your lips. If you have more than one camera clip, **Apply to all** copies your changes to the rest. |
| **Playback Rate** | Speeds the clip up or slows it down, from 0.5× to 2.5×. |

Picking a voice in the voice picker re-voices the camera clips already in your project. To keep a clip's original audio, right-click it and choose **Use original audio**.

### Place the camera

Drag the camera where you want it on the canvas. Drag its corner handle to resize it.

To reframe your face, hold Option and drag or scroll inside the camera, or use the **Zoom** slider that appears.

To go full screen or hide it, click its ⋯ and choose **Full Screen** or **Hide**. To make your own layout, choose **New Layout...** in the same menu, drag and resize the box, then click **Save Layout**. It's saved under **Custom Layouts** in the same menu.

### Change the layout over time

You can change the camera's shape or position partway through your video.

1. Pause the video and select the camera clip. Layout buttons appear on the timeline.
2. Click a button and pick a **Camera Shape** and **Camera Position**, or **Hidden** to hide the camera.
3. To switch partway through, click **Add layout switch** in the same menu, then pick a layout on the new button. Drag the handle between the buttons to change when it switches. **Remove layout switch** undoes it.
