Video Editor

Zidi includes a browser-based video editor for trimming, adding overlays, changing layouts, and rendering polished videos.

Opening the Editor

• Click Edit on any video in your workspace.
• For recordings, click Edit in Editor from the video detail page.

Timeline

The timeline panel shows your video tracks:

• Video track — The main recording with trim handles.
• Layout track — Layout changes over time (PiP, side-by-side, full camera).
• Overlay track — Images, text, and media overlays with start/end times.

Layout Changes

Change the recording layout at any point in the timeline:

• Picture-in-Picture — Camera bubble over screen content.
• Side-by-Side — Equal split between screen and camera.
• Full Screen — Screen recording only.
• Full Camera — Camera recording only.

Overlays

Add visual elements on top of your video:

• Images — Logos, screenshots, diagrams.
• Text — Titles, annotations, callouts.
• Shapes — Rectangles, circles for highlighting.

Each overlay can be positioned, resized, and timed on the timeline.

Aspect Ratio

Change the output aspect ratio:

• 16:9 — Standard widescreen (YouTube, presentations).
• 9:16 — Vertical (Instagram Reels, TikTok, Shorts).
• 4:3 — Classic format.
• 1:1 — Square (social media).

Background Music

Add royalty-free background music from the built-in library. Adjust volume to blend with your original audio.

Rendering

When you're done editing, click Render to process your video. Rendering happens in the cloud using Remotion — you can close the browser and come back when it's ready.
