Clips and scenes - Yarn Help

The timeline is where your video takes shape. Ask the Agent: “Trim the first two seconds off this clip.” · “Move the title card to the start of scene 2.” · “Merge the first two scenes.”

Do it yourself

Tracks

From top to bottom: zooms, overlays, screen recordings and video clips, then narration (voiceover lines and camera clips). Click a voiceover line on the timeline to open it in the Script tab.

Clips

To	Do this
Trim	Drag either edge of the clip.
Move	Drag the clip. Dragging into a neighbor pushes it along.
Reorder	Hold ⌘ and drag the clip to a new spot on its track.
Split	Click a screen recording, video or camera clip where you want to split it, then press ⌘⇧S. Or right-click that spot and choose Split clip. To split a voiceover line, see Edit with the Script.
Copy or cut	Select the clip and press ⌘C or ⌘X. ⌘V pastes it at the playhead.
Delete	Press Backspace, or right-click and choose Delete.

Right-click a clip for more options, like Add Skip… on a screen recording. See Sync points, skips and speed.

Jump to a time and zoom

Double-click the time under the canvas, type a new time and press Enter. It reads minutes:seconds:hundredths, so 1:30:00 is 1 minute 30 seconds.

To zoom the timeline, click Timeline Zoom and use the slider, or press F to fit the whole video. Related: Sync points, skips and speed · Edit with the Script · Keyboard shortcuts
