Edit your video

Watch production finish#

Rewrite a line and re-voice it#

Edit the narration of a scene and it is marked Rebuild. Press Rebuild changed narration: only the scenes whose words changed are spoken again, the others keep their audio, and the captions are re-timed. The button stays off while the voice already matches every scene.

4. 4Duration shows Pending rebuild until the new voice is in.
