Add a scene to change the video layout in the Editor

« To Video tracks layout and formatting in the editor: Overview

A scene is a new layout you can apply to a segment of your timeline to alter the arrangement of video tracks in your recording.

We recommend using Smart Scenes first to quickly and accurately apply dynamic layouts to your recording, before adding new scenes.

Scenes are automatically generated for screen shares, media board videos, and shared presentations so they are displayed as the primary video, making it easier for viewing.

2. On the timeline, place the scrubber or highlight the section where you want to insert a scene.

3. In the timeline toolbar, click Add scene. 
4. To edit the layout, click the video frame.
5. On the recording canvas, click Layout. 
6. Click on a layout to apply it to the scene.
