About

Some avatar video projects include source clips (B-roll) behind the avatar to support the narration. A source clip can be a video clip or a slide from a presentation.

You can manage source clips directly from the editor, including adding and replacing clips, repositioning video clips, changing slides, and hiding clips from scenes.

Projects are displayed in a grid sorted by the most recently updated.

2. Find the project, click the three dots, and select Edit project.



The project opens in the editor.
