Overview

Video Editor is DawnDesk's timeline-based editing workspace. It uses a media bin, timeline, preview canvas, transport controls, toolbar, right-side property panels, and export dialog.

Main Features

  • Import media into the media bin.
  • Arrange clips on the timeline and preview playback.
  • Use properties, effects, transitions, masks, text tools, color grading, and audio controls.
  • Save/open DawnDesk video projects and export rendered video through FFmpeg/FFprobe sidecars.

Basic Flow

flowchart TD Open[Open Video Editor] --> Import[Import media] Import --> Timeline[Place clips on timeline] Timeline --> Edit[Adjust properties, effects, transitions, text, audio, or color] Edit --> Preview[Preview playback] Preview --> Export[Export video]

Notes

  • Select a clip to edit its properties from the right sidebar.
  • Use the Transitions panel to add transitions between clip edges and use Export when the edit is ready.
