Video editor node
The video editor node brings the video, voice and sound, and images generated in Node Canvas together into one editing job. Connect the media nodes you need, then move to the editing screen to apply subtitles, audio, transitions, image overlays, and more.
Node screen
The video editor node appears empty until a video to edit is connected. Connect a video node and you can start editing.
Media you can connect
Connect the media your editing job needs to the video editor node's inputs.
Video
Connect video generated by a video node. The connected video is used as the base video source to edit in Video Editor.
TTS / sound
Connect TTS narration and sound nodes for music and effects, and use them as the audio sources for video editing.
Image
Connect an image node and use it as a watermark, a logo, an overlay image, or a still image inserted between videos.
Basic connection structure
Gather the media you generated into the video editor node, then move to the editing screen.
What you can do on the editing screen
After connecting media to the video editor node, do the actual video editing on the editing screen.
Video composition
Arrange several video clips in order and build the flow of the whole video.
Subtitles
Add the text and subtitles you need over the video to convey information about the content.
TTS · music · sound effects
Place the audio you connected on the timeline and use it as narration, background music, and sound effects.
Image overlay
Place images such as a logo or watermark over the video, or use still images as elements of the content.
Transitions

Frequently asked questions
Can I open the editing screen without a video connected?
The video editor node needs a video source to edit, so we recommend connecting a finished video node first.
Can I use TTS and sound at the same time?
Yes. Connect TTS narration and music or sound effects separately and use them together while editing.
Can images only be used as watermarks?
No. Besides watermarks and logos, they can also be used as image overlays and as still image sources for building the video.
