All detailed settings and content configurations related to the project are carried out on this editing screen.

< Videostew's editing screen >

Slides and Elements

Before getting to know the screen's layout, take a look at the detailed structure of the project in Videostew. The editing screen exists to easily create and modify the content you want.

By default, a project consists of multiple slides, and each slide contains several elements.

Project

A project is the basic unit of work in Videostew. From the home screen, press [+ New project] to start a project, or from the template list press Start with this template to begin.

Slide

Slides are the smallest unit for editing each scene in the editing screen. As you edit each slide in the style you want, Videostew is converted into a video that plays naturally and continuously. You can also select and edit several slides at once, or edit each slide individually as you like.

Element

All sounds and visuals placed inside a slide are elements. Elements such as video/image are attached to elements via text, etc.

Screen Composition

The editing screen is structured with functions necessary for managing projects, such as previews and features for managing slides/elements to construct content.

Wizard Mode

As soon as a new project starts, you enter the Edit Screen where the wizard window pops up immediately. Here, you can set the title by default, and if you continue by clicking "Next", you can start creating content more easily. For detailed explanation about the wizard, refer to [Getting Started with Wizard Mode].

You can enter up to 5,000 characters directly into the text. Additionally, when starting with external text by copying and pasting or with a URL from a blog, etc., you can input up to 20,000 characters.

After that, if you use the "Add Text" function, AI will regenerate the text according to the desired video format.

The software reconstructs the text to fit a maximum length of 60 seconds. However, the content entered can exceed 60 seconds to preserve the naturalness and completeness of the input.

Title Settings

When using the merge feature, you can automatically add relevant content to the title.

When entering the original text directly into the text editor, using the "#" tag will automatically convert it into a subtitle slide. (Make sure to leave a space after "#".)

Editor Screen Top Navigator

The editing top panel contains tools for general management of the project.

Upload	Shows only the resources that were uploaded by clicking the upload button
Paste	Shows only the images that were copied & pasted from the web
Drag-and-Drop	Shows only the elements that were uploaded by drag and drop from the computer's file explorer

Using the above classification can make file management more convenient. For example, frequently used resources can be added through the "Upload" button or by setting your own rules.

Delete uploaded resources all at once

If you hover the mouse over a resource, a settings button appears. Here, you can click "Select Multiple" and define the range by pressing the `SHIFT` key to select multiple items at once.

Please proceed with the deletion through the trash can icon at the top right. However, if the resources have already been used in another project, please be careful when you wish to edit that project again as the elements may not load properly.

Stock library

This is the stock live library provided by Videostew. You can change the search engine by category for each element, and search results vary by engine.

Search based on text content

If the auto-added b-roll elements (images and videos) do not suit your taste, you can search for recommended stock images based on the content you entered.

The size of the image to be added can be selected from square, horizontal, and vertical, with the default value being square. (It is recommended to add in square format.)

Videostew's AI image addition feature is designed to be easy to use for everyone, even without much knowledge of prompts. Generally, the text you enter into the content has a distance from the image. To add the highest quality images, it is recommended to add prompts and refine them to get high-quality AI images.

Search AI Image

< Search AI Image Library >

All AI images added by Videostew users are converted into a searchable format and stored in the public library. When you enter a search term, the newly added AI images appear in the list, and you can drag and drop them into the slide from the [library].

Basic Usage

It's important to know what each button does, but it's also essential to understand how the operations work and how the workflow proceeds.

Slide creation method

As mentioned in Slides and Elements, a project is made up of multiple slides. These slides contain content, and as they play in sequence, they make up your video.

Selecting Slides

Selecting slides is done by clicking with the mouse. When you click on the desired slide in the Slide Window at the bottom, the content in the Editing Window in the center changes to the current slide.

Keyboard Slide Selection

In the Editing Window, when no element is selected, you can change slides with the keyboard. Pressing Left or Right will switch the selection to the previous or next slide.

Individual Slide Selection

With the Ctrl key pressed, selecting a slide that is not the current one will add it to the selection, along with the current slide.

Range Slide Selection

With the Shift key pressed, selecting a slide that is not the current one will select all slides in the range between the current slide and the slide clicked with Shift.

In the Editing Window, when no element is selected, using Shift+Left/Right with the keyboard also selects a range similarly.

Select entire slide

Aside from Range Slide Selection, there is an easy way to select all. In the Editing Window, when no element is selected, press Ctrl+A to select all slides.

Slide Addition

In the Slide Window, you can add a slide by clicking the "Add" button located on the right side of the last slide. Typically, when adding an element, it's not added completely new, but rather, you often modify parts of the content from the slide just before, right? Therefore, when you add a slide, it automatically "copies" the previous slide.

Slide Copy

After selecting the slide you want to copy in the Editing Window, press the Enter key and the selected slide will be immediately copied behind it.

Slide Delete

Select the slide you want to delete in the Editing Window and press the Delete key to delete the selected slide.

Slide Order Change

After selecting the slide you want to reorder, you can drag it with the mouse to the desired position. This also allows you to select multiple slides at once and change their order in bulk.

< Changing the Position of Slides >

How to Operate Elements

What would a slide be without any content? You need to insert elements like images or text into the slide to create content for the video.

The main manipulation of elements is centered on the Editing Window in the middle, using both the Library Window on the left and the [Properties Window] on the right. You can click or drag the desired library item from the Library Window to add it to the Editing Window, change its position and size in the Editing Window, or, after selecting it, change its detailed properties in the [Properties Window].

Element Selection

Elements can be selected by clicking on the desired element in the central Editing Window.

Selecting Elements Individually

While holding the Ctrl key, if you select a different element that is not currently active, the newly selected element will be added to the selection along with the current one. This can be combined with Select Elements by Range below to add or remove elements more flexibly.

Select Elements by Range

If the elements you want to select are gathered in a certain area, you can activate the range selection by clicking and dragging from an empty space with your mouse. Continue dragging until the desired elements are within the selection box.

< Example of Selecting by Range >

Add Elements

There are several ways to add elements to a slide.

Add from the Library

Click on the desired library from the Library Window on the left side, and the corresponding type of element will be added to the Editing Window.

Add by Copying

You can also add a new element by using [Copy Element]. After selecting the element you want to copy on the current slide, or an element from another slide, press Ctrl+C, then go to the desired slide and press Ctrl+V. The same element will be copied and added.

Add by Uploading

If you have videos, images, or font files on your computer, you can upload them. Select the desired file from the explorer (or finder) and drag and drop it onto the Videostew editing screen. If you cannot drag and drop, select the desired type from the Library Window on the left side, choose "User" and click the "+ Upload" button to select files.

Edit Elements

There are many ways to edit elements.

Drag and Drop from the Library

This is how you modify an element itself. The Library implies content in the case of videos or images, shape in the case of figures, and font in the case of text. Select the type and sub-tab you want to modify in the Library Window, click on the desired library, and drag the element of the same type you want to modify onto it. It will then be replaced with a new element.

Position and Size Adjustment

All elements in the Editing Window can be moved and resized after selection. Size changes can be made using the four handles in the corners, or by using the diamond-shaped handles to change the size proportionally. To adjust the position, simply drag the element to the desired location.

Some operations can also be done using the keyboard; after selecting the element you wish to change, pressing the arrow keys will adjust its position. Additionally, pressing Shift along with the arrow keys allows for fine-tuning the position by 1 pixel at a time.

Alternatively, you can also use the shape and position of the Properties Window in other ways. Please refer to [Shape and Position] for more information.

Double-Click Mode

Adjustments can also be made by double-clicking an element in the Editing Window. Depending on the type of element, different modes will be activated.

Video and Image: Within the current size of the element, you can adjust the visible size and position internally.
Shapes: No particular incidents will occur.
Text : You can edit the content itself or select a part to change its color, add a bold effect, cancel selection, etc. For detailed explanation about the tool, please refer to [텍스트 요소].

Adjusting in Properties Window after selection

Each element has various properties. When you select an element in the Editing Window, various options that can be changed in the [Properties Window] on the right will appear. You can see detailed descriptions of each element through the [element-specific properties] guide.

Element Copy

After selecting the element you want to copy from the current slide, or an element from another slide, press Ctrl+C, and then press Ctrl+V on the desired slide to add a duplicated element.

< Copy Method >

Element Style Copy

There may be times when you want to leave the contents of an element as is, but only copy and apply other properties such as position, shape, or style. For example, when you want to arrange elements in the same slide in a row, or when you want to apply the same role of elements in different slides.

At this time, select the element to be copied and press Ctrl+C to perform a general copy first. Then, select the element where you want to apply the style copy and press Ctrl+Shift+V. This will allow you to see all properties copied except for the library or content.

Element Delete

If there's an element in the slide you don't want, click on the element you wish to delete in the Editing Window, select it, and then press the Delete key on your keyboard to remove it.

Global properties

Most properties are applied by slide, but there are properties that are applied to the entire project you are currently working on. Would you like to see what these elements are??

Global Background Music

Global background music lets you set music that plays by default throughout the project, and it is designed to fade in/out automatically at the beginning and end.

The music applied to the whole project can be accessed via the background-music icon at the bottom of the stage area. If you want different background music on only some slides, please refer to the Slide Background Music guide.

Background Music Selection

Clicking the [All] button allows you to set categories by genre and mood; it's convenient to make a selection while previewing by holding the mouse over it.

Volume Adjustment

Background-music volume can be changed globally through [Global Volume]. Generally, when AI voice is applied, setting it to 20 % works well. Use Preview to watch the narration and adjust the volume appropriately.

Similar Style Search (Similar Track Search)

Hovering the mouse over the music and pressing the settings (▼) button reveals a "Similar Style Search" option. This feature allows you to receive recommendations for tracks that are similar to the music you are currently listening to.

View Detailed Sound Information

Selecting the music title next to the play button will provide detailed information about the sound, and the text can be copied.

Size

You can change the size of the project. In addition to the default sizes provided, you can also set your desired size directly through the "User" tab.

Transition (Movement Effect)

This setting is applied to the entire project and can change the feeling of animation movement. Click the 'Change' button to modify the movement effect of the animation as desired.

Slide Properties

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right

When you select one or more slides in the slide window, or when no element is selected in the Editing Window, the Properties Window displays properties related to the slide.

Transitions and Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration

The time when the slide appears is changed automatically or manually.

Playback time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

The slide is displayed and then the time it takes to move to the next slide is adjusted. Depending on what content is included in the slide by default, the playback duration of that slide is determined.

For example, if the criterion is narration, it is automatically adjusted to the length of the AI voice, and if the criterion is video, it is adjusted to the length of the inserted video clip.

Narration(Default)

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

If there is a narration in the slide, the duration of that narration is used as the standard. If the narration is the standard but there is no narration, a default of 3 seconds is provided. If a specific segment is set to play only with settings such as trim for the narration, only that duration will be played.

Video

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

If a video is embedded in the slide, the duration of that video is used as the standard. If a specific segment is set to play only with settings such as trim for the video, only that duration will be played. In the case of multiple videos, the most important video is automatically determined as the standard and adjusted accordingly.

Manual

Regardless of what elements are within a slide, it sets to play only for the specified time. Usually, narration or video is the standard, but understanding the concept of time in Videostew is important, and it is used only to modify the duration for constructing different effects.

Transition Effects

The transition effect refers to the animation that plays when moving to the next slide. After selecting the desired transition effect, you can instantly preview how it looks through the preview feature, allowing you to quickly check with your own eyes.

Transition Effects Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Transition effect duration

The transition-effect duration is the time the animation keeps running. For example, if you want the "Cube" animation to appear a bit slower, insert 10 seconds, press Preview, and verify it with your own eyes.

For reference, the transition-effect duration cannot exceed the slide's total duration.

Narration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration

Sets the type and properties of the narration used when the slide is recreated.

Type

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type

Select the type of narration to be used in the slide.

Table of contents detailed information

Videostew uses TTS provided by ElevenLabs, Humelo, Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, Naver Clova, and Microsoft Azure.

You can set up complex search criteria based on each engine, such as gender, age, emotion, atmosphere, and language, allowing you to quickly find the voice you want.

Pro Tip: Each slide will have AI-generated voice. Follow the guidelines to ensure each slide has a completed sentence. Use the enter key to provide line breaks and apply [text appearance effects] to create a natural flow.

Provided languages

Korean, English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German, French, Turkish, Malay, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese, Urdu, Persian, Italian, Thai, Gujarati, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch, Greek, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Danish, Finnish, Slovak, Norwegian, Hebrew, Malay, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Croatian, Malayalam, Kannada, Welsh, Irish, Basque, Icelandic, Swahili, Filipino, Mongolian, Maltese, Catalan

Speed

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Speed

Change the reading speed of AI voice. Generally, readers prefer a speed of 120% - 130%, but it can vary depending on the characteristics of the AI voice, so you can decide while pre-listening.

After regeneration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Mute after playback

You can use this when you want to read all the AI voice in one slide and add a slight pause. By setting the time to around 0.5 seconds, you can prevent it from moving to the next slide too quickly.

Conversely, if you think the mute time increases when moving to the next slide, you can set it manually. It supports up to -0.2 seconds, and generally, -0.1 seconds will give a slightly faster transition.

Manual text placement

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Manual text input

When you enable the automatic text designation toggle, you can adjust the content to be read however you want, independent of the text shown on the screen.

It is generally used when you want to display only the words on the screen and read the detailed content separately, or to adjust the pronunciation.

Playback Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type: AI Voice > Playback time

If the AI voice does not reach the end due to a network issue, or if the voice length is not calculated correctly, press the "Recalculate" button to regenerate the AI voice and reset the duration of each slide.

Slide Repeat Playback

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type: AI Voice > Slide repeat playback

When you enable the slide repeat toggle, the same sentence is read repeatedly when it appears in multiple slides.

For example, it can be used when intentional repetition is required in educational videos.

Voice Cloning

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice

In addition to the AI voices provided by Videostew, you can directly create and use TTS that has learned your voice.

You can start recording your voice by clicking the 'Add' button on the custom tab. You can record in real-time on the website, or you can upload a pre-recorded file.

When recording, reading just five sentences is sufficient. When uploading a pre-recorded file, please upload an audio file that is longer than 15 seconds.

The reason for using voice-cloned TTS is to present a natural-sounding voice. Therefore, it is more effective to create a natural TTS without using professional recording equipment. It is also beneficial if the speaking style you frequently use comes out naturally. If you plan to create conversational content, please record a naturally conversing voice.

The cloned voice is tied to the workspace. If you want to use the AI voice you created in another workspace, press the Settings (▼) button next to the Add button and bring the voice you own to the other workspace via the “Import Voice from Another Workspace” button.

Sound Effects

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects

Sets the effect that is regenerated when a slide starts. By default, the effect continues to regenerate until the slide ends, even if it is longer than the slide duration.

Type

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Type

Clicking "Select" allows you to apply a sound effect to a slide. You can find sound effects by genre, and it is convenient to select while listening to previews by hovering the mouse. If you wish to remove a sound effect, select "None" after making your selection.

Volume

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Blur

Change the speed of the sound effect. You can adjust it appropriately while listening to other elements through the preview.

Slide Repeat Playback

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Slide repeat playback

If the same effect is applied to multiple slides, this option allows it to be regenerated repeatedly each time the next slide starts.

In the inactive state, the image is judged to have the same element (effect) continuously present on the slide, so it is regenerated only once.

Matching Slide Playback Duration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Match playback to slide

Activating this option will naturally fade out the effect if the effect's duration is longer than the slide's playback time, without exceeding the duration of the slide.

Background Music

Edit Screen > U-mute Slide Properties > Background Music

You can set background music that is used throughout the entire project and background music that is used only in specific slides.

Slide Background Music

Edit Screen > U-mute Slide Properties > Background Music > Select

After pressing the "Select" button, you can preview the music and apply it; if the same audio is already used in consecutive slides, it will continue seamlessly.

Volume

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Background music > Volume

You can decide on the appropriate volume while previewing.

If the original audio is separate and you are only adjusting the volume, the global background music will automatically apply fade in/out effects, so the volume is adjusted smoothly.

Background Color

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Background color

You can change the slide's background color from the default (black) to a different color. Additionally, you can add other colors by clicking the '+' button and specify gradient effects.

Auto-read

If AI Voice is applied to the slide narration, all the text on the screen will be read sequentially.

If you have text you want read aloud automatically, select the text element and turn on "Auto-read". For other ways to have included text read aloud without completely muting the screen, please refer to [Text Auto Settings].

Readability Enhancement

Voice enhancement is a feature that uses the ‘text highlight’ function to change settings so that the text on the screen can be read clearly. You can apply effects such as "None", "Box Background", "Line Background", "Outer Line", and "Shadow".

Additionally, the color of the box and outline can be changed in the "Readability color" menu.

Automatic Slide Division (deprecated)

The "automatic slide separation" feature can be set in Text Animation's [Text Appearance Effect].

Slide division can be set as "One line at a time", "Two lines at a time", [Paragraph unit], and when [Automatic Slide Division] is applied, it will be displayed as shown below.

< Preview of Automatic Slide Division application >

Font Family

You can select the desired font family to change the font. The font library is organized into tabs such as "Recent", "Favorites", "User", and "Stock".

To change the font family of multiple slides at once, please refer to the content of the Edit multiple slides at once action.

Color

Change the color of the entire text element. All colors of the text box will change, and you can combine up to three colors to create a gradient effect.

To change the color of some text, drag the desired text and use the inline editor that appears at the top.

The inline editor lets you choose between the default color and recently used colors. If you have a specific color in mind, set it as the background color and it will appear in the recent colors.

Alignment

Change the alignment of the text within the box to "Left", "Center", or "Right".

Size

You can change the font size from 10 px to 256 px. For vertical short-form video content, we recommend using 80 px to 90 px.

Margin Left/Right/Top/Bottom

Change the size of the left and bottom margins of the text box.

Line Spacing

Change the line spacing when multiple lines of text are entered into a text box.

Letter Spacing

Adjust the spacing between letters. It can be changed from -40% to 200%, with 0% being the default value.

Horizontal Alignment

You can change the alignment within the text box. Alignment can be set to "Left", "Center", or "Right".

Horizontal Alignment

Changes the vertical alignment inside the text box. The default option is "Auto", and you can set it to "Top", "Middle", or "Bottom".

If text looks staggered across multiple slides, align them all at once by matching the position of the text box on one slide as the reference.

Height lock

Activating height lock adds handlers to the top/bottom of the box, allowing you to change the height of the text box.

Generally, when using text boxes in auto mode, even if the text is one or two lines, you can maintain the same box size.
