# Editing generated videos

> Refine generated assets with timeline, overlay, and style controls before final delivery.

## Overview

After generation, treat assets like any other timeline clip: trim, retime, layer, and polish.

Use this guide to make generated content feel native to the rest of your project.

## Before you start

* Insert generated media into the correct scene.
* Identify what still feels off: pacing, framing, clarity, or style mismatch.
* Keep one alternate variation available for replacement.

## Steps

1. Trim clip boundaries to remove weak lead-in/out frames.
2. Retime sections where motion pacing conflicts with narration.
3. Add overlays that clarify context (labels, arrows, short callouts).
4. Align style (color/motion/audio tone) with surrounding scenes.
5. Preview full sequence and confirm generated clip does not stand out negatively.

## Check your result

* Generated content blends with project style.
* Scene pacing remains consistent.
* Viewer can understand purpose without extra explanation.

## Troubleshooting

### Generated scene still feels disconnected

Either simplify local styling to match project baseline or swap to an alternate variation.

### Motion conflicts with narration timing

Retiming and strategic cuts usually solve this faster than regenerating everything.

### Quality drops after heavy edits

Return to source variation and make smaller, scene-specific edits.
