Timeline Editor
Fine-tune your audio production with a visual waveform editor for voices, sound effects, and music.
Overview
The timeline editor gives you a visual, waveform-based view of your entire audio production. Every segment is laid out on a timeline so you can see exactly how your voices, sound effects, and music fit together.

Three Audio Layers
Your production is organized into three independent layers:
-
Voices — Dialogue and narration
-
Sound Effects — Ambient sounds, foley, and spot effects
-
Music — Background scores and musical cues
Each layer has its own volume slider and mute toggle, so you can solo a layer or adjust the mix on the fly.
Use the layer volume controls to balance dialogue against music and sound effects before exporting.
Playback Controls
-
Play / Pause — Start and stop playback at any point
-
Seek — Click anywhere on the timeline to jump to that position
-
Playback speed — Speed up or slow down for review
Drag and Drop
Rearrange your production by dragging segments to new positions on the timeline. Move a sound effect earlier, shift a music cue later, or reorder dialogue — all with drag and drop.
Per-Segment Actions
Click on any segment to access its controls:
-
Regenerate — Generate a new version of this segment
-
Delete — Remove the segment from the timeline
-
Edit text — Change the dialogue, description, or caption
-
Change voice — Assign a different voice to a dialogue segment
-
Apply effects — Add voice filters or audio effects
-
Adjust timing — Fine-tune the start time and duration
Trimming
Every segment supports non-destructive start and end trimming. Drag the edges of a segment to trim silence or unwanted audio. Your original audio is preserved — you can always extend the trim back out.
Adding New Segments
Need something that isn't in your script? You can add new segments directly from the timeline:
-
Generate new — Create a new voice line, sound effect, or music segment with AI
-
Add from library — Pull in audio you've saved to your Media Library
-
Upload audio — Import your own audio files
