Editing Your Video

Click any visual element on the timeline, then select Replace Media. You have three options:

1. 1
   Stock library

   Search VidRush's built-in library for a replacement.
2. 2
   Local upload

   Upload an image or video file from your computer via the "Local" tab.
3. 3
   URL paste

   Paste a direct image or video URL from the web to grab a specific asset.

All audio controls live in the Canvas & Timeline Settings panel on the right side.

• Background music too loud? Lower the Audio Overlay slider. This adjusts the music volume relative to the narration.
• Transition sounds too aggressive? Lower the Template SFX slider.
• Video clip audio interfering? Adjust the Video Audio slider to control the volume of embedded clip audio.

You can also manage individual audio elements directly on the timeline. The orange blocks represent narration. Click them to adjust or replace specific segments.

• Toggle captions on or off using the Enable Captions switch in the right panel. This controls subtitle visibility globally across the entire video.
• Editing text overlays: Click any text element on the timeline or canvas to edit its content, position, size, or styling. Text styling options depend on the theme you selected during generation.
• Adding text: Use the Text tool in the left sidebar to add new text overlays anywhere on the timeline.

Open the Animations section in the left sidebar to browse available overlays:

• Subscribe CTA: A subscribe button overlay. Drag it onto your timeline near the end of the video. If you used a Custom Script with “Subscribe” near the end, VidRush may have added this automatically.
• Chapter titles: Section header animations that appear between segments.
• Other motion graphics: Various overlays available depending on your selected theme.

To move an animation on the timeline, drag it to the desired position. Some animations have limited customization. If you don’t see a setting you need, open a feature request on Discord.

VidRush uses a Smart Transition System, typically a 70/30 ratio of cuts to animated transitions.

• Edit a single transition: Click the transition marker between clips on the timeline. You can change the transition type or delete it entirely.
• Disable all transitions: Toggle off Show Transitions in the Canvas & Timeline Settings panel. This removes all animated transitions globally, leaving only hard cuts.

• Magnetic Snapping (enabled by default) helps elements align to each other on the timeline. Turn it off in the right panel if you need pixel-precise placement.
• Hiding elements: You can hide any timeline element so it won’t appear in playback or the final render. Useful for temporarily removing a clip without deleting it.

Click the Export Transcript icon in the bottom-right toolbar to download the full narration text as a file. Useful for YouTube descriptions, blog posts, SEO optimization, or creating companion written content.
