All detailed settings and content configurations related to the project are carried out on this editing screen.
< Videostew's editing screen >
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.
The editing screen is for editing a single project, so the project is the highest-level concept. If the Home Screen is for managing multiple projects and additions, the editing screen is a space for creating and modifying a single project to taste.
A slide contains several elements. Text, videos, images, etc. that appear on the screen are all considered elements. On the editing screen, you can add, modify, or delete these elements.
The editing screen is structured with functions necessary for managing projects, such as previews and features for managing slides/elements to construct content.
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.
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 "#".)
The editing top panel contains tools for general management of the project.
Pauses the work and returns to the home screen. If there is unsaved content, a warning window appears. In such cases, click [Cancel] then Save to save all work progress to the server.
You can set the title and description of the project. By entering a URL in the description field, you can use it as a link when sharing.
< Edit Project Information >
Additionally, depending on the content created by several users, titles and summaries for the text description fields are automatically generated. In the case of text descriptions, up to three hashtags are added considering SEO.
You can preview the currently selected slide. If you select multiple slides, you can preview just that section. Click the bottom right settings (▼) button to preview the entire project.
Saves the content of the project that is in progress to the server. Even if the user does not manually press it during the work, if a modification is made, it will be automatically saved to the server. For those who do not feel comfortable not pressing save manually, we also provide the option to manually save.
Shortcut key: Ctrl
+ S
You can render the completed project into a file.
First, press the "Rendering" button, then a rendering request is submitted. Rendering request means converting the project you made into a video file. After a while, once the file is added, the Download button becomes active, and by clicking the button, you can download the MP4 file to your computer.
Saves every slide as individual image files. You can use this to download results in a card news style that are not videos.
You can download all texts used in the project as a document format. It is useful to save as a text format again when the content has changed a lot during the work.
Additionally, by clicking the settings (▼) button, you can download subtitles in SRT and webVTT file formats.

If you've inserted a link in the project description field, you can click on the link address to utilize it as a Call To Action (CTA) button.
The sharing feature is valid for one month after video rendering, and the saved video will be deleted after one month. Therefore, please be sure to download the rendered video file within the period from Videostew.
You can copy the current project as it is and start working in the desired workspace. You can understand that a copy is created with all the work history remaining intact.
You can revert the project to a previous point. Refer to 'Save view' and 'Slide number' in the list and use 'Restore' to call up the project from a past point.
The current project you are working on is copied exactly as it is in the current workspace.
Deletes the current project. Projects moved to the trash can are not completely deleted until you empty the trash can.
You can change settings for dark mode and the style of thumbnails, as well as the wizard mode.
Edit screen > Right-side top 'More' > Environment settings > General
< Environment Setting Common Menu >
You can change the dark mode settings. 'Auto' changes the screen to dark at night and to light during the day automatically. You can always set it to 'Light' or 'Dark' as well.
Change the method when downloading the rendered video. If the default method does not work, you can switch to the legacy method.
You can change the style of thumbnails that appear on the home screen. You can choose among 'Horizontal', 'Square', and 'Vertical', and if you often make portrait videos, 'Vertical' is recommended.
You can change whether to activate Wizard Mode when creating 'New'.
In the library panel, you can search for stock videos, images, etc., provided by Videostew and load them onto the stage. The elements are organized into tabs like "Recent", "Favorites", "User", and "Stock".
Here is a list of elements you've used recently.
Frequently used elements can be saved to Favorites, and added to the Favorites list. After hovering the mouse over an element, click the settings (▼) button to add it to Favorites.
This is the live library of elements uploaded directly by the user. You can add images or video files by dragging them onto the screen from the explorer or by clicking the [Upload](/guide/edit/basic/narration/upload) button. (If you drag and drop files into the live Library Window, they are not entered on the stage but only added to the list.)
Additionally, the user tab allows you to find uploaded resources more easily through category classification.
Category|Description
--|--
All|Shows all resources uploaded by users
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.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/multi-delete.mp4?_=87k6)
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.
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.
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.

When you press the `+ Add` button, a modal window appears to add AI images. By default, if there is a text block entered within the slide, the text will be fetched.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/pasted-1729236798255.png?_=1f2jh)
< 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].
Copyright for AI images added in Videostew can be checked in detail in the [AI Image Copyright](/guide/faq/edit/copyright-ai-images) guide document.

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.
As mentioned in [Slides and Elements](/guide/edit/info), 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 is done by clicking with the mouse. When you click on the desired slide in the [Slide Window](/guide/edit/view/slide-navigator) at the bottom, the content in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage) in the center changes to the current slide.
In the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage), 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.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/multi-select.mp4?_=2hp4)
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](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage), when no element is selected, using `Shift`+`Left/Right` with the keyboard also selects a range similarly.
Aside from [Range Slide Selection](/guide/edit/basic/slide-control/select-slides/key-range), there is an easy way to select all. In the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage), when no element is selected, press `Ctrl`+`A` to select all slides.
In the [Slide Window](/guide/edit/view/slide-navigator), 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.
After selecting the slide you want to copy in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage), press the `Enter` key and the selected slide will be immediately copied behind it.
Select the slide you want to delete in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage) and press the `Delete` key to delete the selected slide.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/move-slide.mp4?_=74lk)
< Changing the Position of Slides >
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.
Elements can be selected by clicking on the desired element in the central [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage).
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](/guide/edit/basic/element/select/key-range) below to add or remove elements more flexibly.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/selection.mp4?_=1i1m4b0)
< Example of Selecting by Range >
There are several ways to add elements to a slide.
Click on the desired library from the [Library Window](/guide/edit/view/library) on the left side, and the corresponding type of element will be added to the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage).
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.
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](/guide/edit/view/library) on the left side, choose "User" and click the "+ Upload" button to select files.
There are many ways to edit elements.
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](/guide/edit/view/library), 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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/drag-drop.mp4?_=1i3ufsu)
All elements in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage) 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.
Adjustments can also be made by double-clicking an element in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage). 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, select parts of it to change color or boldness, add underline, etc. For a detailed description of the toolbar, please refer to [Text Toolbar](/guide/edit/element-property/text/dblclick).
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/copy-element.mp4?_=2ie8)
< Copy Method >
If there's an element in the slide you don't want, click on the element you wish to delete in the [Editing Window](/guide/edit/view/stage/slide-panel/stage), select it, and then press the `Delete` key on your keyboard to remove it.
BGM (Background Music) allows you to set a single piece of music for the project, which is designed to fade out naturally at the end point.
The BGM change window can be accessed via the BGM icon located at the bottom right of the stage.
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.
The BGM volume can be adjusted globally using the [Global Volume]. It is usually good to set it at around 20% when AI voice has been applied. Adjust it appropriately while previewing to ensure the narration is heard clearly.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/스크린샷_2023-11-29_오후_12.34.11.png?_=1imdcaq)
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/bgm-info.mp4?_=26s5)
Selecting the music title next to the play button will provide detailed information about the sound, and the text can be copied.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/스크린샷_2023-02-28_오후_2.27.18.png?_=1hvr46p)
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/스크린샷_2023-02-28_오후_2.28.33.png?_=1hvr4ad)
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.
You can change the time a slide is displayed automatically or manually.
You can change the time a slide is displayed before moving to the next slide. The default playback time for a slide is determined by the content within the slide. For example, if a narration is set on a slide and it's set to 'Use the duration of this narration as the standard', the slide playback time changes accordingly as the narration changes. Each standard is as follows.
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.
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.
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.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/pasted-1714442936027.png?_=a25n)
Transition effects are animations that are activated when a new slide appears. You can quickly check the set effects in the preview.
Transition Duration is the duration of the animation effect. For example, if you want the "cube" animation to appear slowly, try inserting 12 seconds and adjust the appropriate time while previewing.
Narration is a setting related to speaking during slide playback. Although videos are typically watched visually, setting up narration alongside can enhance the content's transmission ability.

You can upload pre-recorded MP3 files. Use the trim feature to precisely insert 'fade in' intervals for each slide. Click here for a detailed introduction to the trim feature.
You can record your voice directly on the website. The recording continues seamlessly, allowing you to time it just right to move on to the next slide. For a splendid content creation method using the voice recording feature, please refer to [Using the Voice Recording Feature].
You can change the AI voice actor and apply different voices for each slide. Generally, after selecting the entire slide, apply the voice. As the supported language varies by character, matching the language of the text will enable a more natural reproduction.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/ai-voice-cateroy.mp4?_=3ecp)
< AI Voice Category Detailed Search >
Videostew utilizes TTS provided by Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, Naver Clova, Microsoft Azure, and KT AI Voice.
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.
Change the reading speed of the AI voice. Typically, readers prefer speeds of 120% - 130%.
You can use this when you want to add a slight pause after the AI voice has finished reading a slide. Adding about 0.5 seconds can prevent moving too quickly to the next slide.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/manual-text.mp4?_=1iis7gr)
Activating the text manual setting toggle allows you to adjust the reading content as desired, regardless of the text displayed on the screen. It is commonly used to correct pronunciation or when you want to display only the words on the screen and read the detailed content.
Occasionally, due to network issues, the AI voice may not play until the end or may be cut off in the middle, or the length of the voice may not be calculated correctly. In such cases, pressing the "Recalculate" button will add the AI voice anew while setting the time for each slide again.
If the slide repeat playback toggle is deactivated, in the case where the same text is on multiple slides, it will only be read once on the first slide and not read again as it moves on. This can be used when you want to insert animations intermittently while a sentence is being played.
Set the sound effect that plays when the slide starts. The sound effect continues even if the slide changes and will last until it finishes.
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.
Change the speed of the sound effect. You can adjust it appropriately while listening to other elements through the preview.
[Slide repeat playback] When this is enabled, if the same effect is applied to multiple slides, it will be repeatedly played every time a new slide starts. In other words, in the basic state of Videostew, if there is no change between slides, it should proceed normally, but if this option is enabled, it will loop and the effect will start again.
In the disabled state, the transition between slides is not interrupted, so the specified effect will continue to play.
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.
To completely mute the BGM for a particular slide to emphasize the narration, you can adjust the 'Volume on this slide' to 0%.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/스크린샷_2023-02-28_오후_2.51.03.png?_=1hvr5ij)
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.
The colors recently used are displayed.
Frequently used colors can be added to Favorites for easy access. Favorites are managed separately for each workspace.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/custom-color.mp4?_=48bk)
< Add Custom Color >
Click the '+' button to directly add a custom color. You can easily find and add the desired color using the color spectrum in the 'Add Color' window.
There are about 140 default colors prepared in the color palette. Selecting a color will apply it to the background of the slide, and you can also change the colors of multiple slides at once. Please refer to [Edit Multiple Slides at Once] for how to edit multiple slides simultaneously.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/auto-layout.mp4?_=8luk)

Adjust the opacity/border, etc., of the selected component or its position within the slide.
Change the opacity of the component. Generally, you can insert a transparent PNG file and change its opacity.
Add a border to a specific component. You can change the thickness and color of the border.
In blend mode, you can mix several overlapping components to create various visual effects.
Applies a flip effect to the inserted images or video clips.
![](https://cdn.videostew.com/web/views/guide/element-flip.mp4?_=4t8h)
Manually change the start and end intervals of the video clip. Generally, if the video is a background element that continues to show irrelevant content, there is no need to edit the playback interval.
However, if the video involves a speaker, you may need to adjust the intervals to match the subtitles, so editing the playback interval is essential.
We'll provide detailed instructions on how to change the video playback interval. Ah, changing the playback interval of the video and the uploaded voice file can be done in the same way!
Select the video inserted on the slide and click on the right side to adjust the playback interval.
