Studio is your platform’s built-in video editor. Build, brand and publish short-form social clips or long-form videos straight from your catalog, without switching to a separate tool. Everything you build in Studio is a composition.
What Studio does
The gif above shows the short-form (9:16) flow.
With Studio, you can:
Trim and arrange clips on a timeline
Add overlays: images, videos and animations
Add an intro or outro video to open and close your composition
Reframe footage to fit your chosen format: 9:16 vertical for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook, or 16:9 landscape for YouTube, presentations and landscape cuts.
Save and apply your brand style in one click
Preview how your video will look on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook before you publish
Render your finished clip, then download it or share it with a link
Publish your post directly to your social channels (coming soon)
Composition limit: the total duration of all clips in a single Studio composition is currently limited to 20 minutes.
How to open Studio and add clips
You can access Studio and add content from several places in Moments Lab.
From the left navigation: click Studio to open the Studio home page, your central hub for all compositions. Start a new composition, resume one from My compositions, or browse Latest custom moments.
From a Project: open any project, then click Open in Studio at the top of the page. You can also right-click any clip inside the project and select Open in Studio or Add to Studio from the context menu.
From the Discovery Agent: run a search in the Discovery Agent. Once results appear, add clips directly to your Studio composition from the Agent panel without leaving your edit.
From the search bar: type what you're looking for, then add any moment directly to your Studio composition from the results.
External video: upload a video file directly into Studio, even if it isn't indexed in Moments Lab. Use the Video insert track on the timeline to add any external file to your composition.
Choose a format
Before your clip or selection opens in Studio, you'll be asked to choose a format for the composition:
Short form (9:16): for Stories, Reels, TikTok and Shorts. Limited to 20 minutes of total clip duration.
Long form (16:9): for YouTube, presentations and landscape cuts.
Click Confirm to open your composition. You can't change the format once you've confirmed it, so pick the one that matches your final output before you start editing.
The Studio interface
When you open a composition, you'll see three main areas:
The screenshot above shows the short-form (9:16) flow
Preview panel (center): shows your video as you edit. Use the play button and timeline scrubber to navigate.
Properties panel (right): context-sensitive settings for the selected element, including reframe settings, subtitles, logo, Intro/outro and brand styles.
Timeline (bottom): all your layers, including clips, subtitles, text overlays, image inserts and video & animation inserts.
Click Export in the top right to render your finished composition. Once it's rendered, you can download the file or get a shareable link.
