The scene editor is where you refine a generated video before creating the file. Every element is editable: narration, visuals, layouts, stickers, effects, subtitle timing, transitions, background music, and the thumbnail.
Editor layout
| Area | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Preview player (top) | The full video with playback, volume, and speed controls |
| Scene strip (below the player) | One chip per scene. Click to select, drag to reorder, + to add a scene after the selected one, trash to delete |
| Timeline (bottom) | Five tracks: Visual, Audio, Subtitle, Scene, and Music |
| Right panel | The editor for whatever you selected: a track at the playhead, or the transition between two scenes |
Press Space to play and pause from anywhere in the editor, except when a text field is focused. Click a track to choose what to edit: Visual opens video, image, slide, fit, effects, and stickers; Audio opens the script and narration; Subtitle opens the chunks; Scene opens text, layout, and transition; Music opens the background music for the whole video.
Visual
The Visual panel shows the scene's current visual and the ways to replace it.
- Search videos. Enter a keyword and TutorFlow returns stock clips from Pexels and Pixabay. Click one to preview it in the scene, then apply it. Free.
- Search images. The same, for still images. Free.
- Re-search. Let TutorFlow pick a new clip automatically from the scene's keywords. 1 credit.
- Upload video or Upload image. A file from your device. Free.
- Use slide. Pick a deck from your classroom. Add slide creates a new deck and Edit slide opens the deck editor; there, select a slide and click Use in video to place it in this scene. If you edit the deck later, Refresh slide redraws the scene from the current version. Free.
- Adjustments. Fit and framing of the visual inside the scene.
Visual effect
Each scene can carry one effect over its visual: Dark, Blue, Purple, or Warm colour overlays, Vignette, Blur, or Grayscale, with an opacity slider. Use a dark overlay to keep white subtitles readable over bright footage.
Stickers
Add sticker opens the sticker picker:
- Built-in stickers in People, Objects, and Animated categories, free to use.
- Character. Describe a character in a short prompt and TutorFlow generates it. 1 credit, saved to My stickers so using it again is free. A character can have up to three poses; each extra pose costs 2 credits, and you choose Still, Loop, or Ping-pong playback.
- Sticky note. An editable note that floats over the visual.
Drag a sticker on the preview to place it, then set size, rotation, opacity, and an entrance and exit animation (Fade, Pop, Rise, Slide, Shrink, or none). The Stickers tab on the video list page holds your saved characters.
Audio
Script and AI narration
Edit the script text directly. The script is what the voice reads, so after a change click Regenerate TTS to record the scene again. 1 credit per regeneration. The TTS speed control changes how fast this scene is read without re-recording.
Your own voice
Record voice opens a recorder with the scene's script in front of you. Record, listen back, record again, then Use this recording. A take can be up to 3 minutes. You can also upload an audio file instead. Your own narration costs nothing, and the scene shows a Your recording badge so you know which scenes are yours.
Scene text and layout
Layout
| Layout | Description |
|---|---|
| Keyword | Subtitles at the bottom with highlighted keyword badges |
| Title | Centered title card; uses the display text |
| Quote | Left accent bar with the display text |
| Sketch | Whiteboard drawing animation of the scene image |
| Hand-drawn | A pen draws the illustration element by element |
| 2D animation | Hand-drawn character animation |
| None | No text over the visual |
Display text and keywords
Title, Quote, and Sketch layouts show a short display text instead of the full script. Leave it empty to hide the text. Keyword layouts take a list of keywords shown as badges above the subtitles.
Sketch image
In a Sketch scene, Generate AI image draws the illustration the whiteboard animation will reveal. 1 credit per image; regenerate as often as you need, and restore a deleted image from the panel.
Subtitles
The Subtitle panel lists the scene's subtitle chunks. Adjust the start time and duration of each, add a chunk, split one into two, or re-initialize the chunks from the current script. Timing can also be dragged directly on the Subtitle track.
Timeline
Each scene is drawn to scale across the five tracks.
| Track | What you adjust |
|---|---|
| Visual | Clip offset and duration within the scene |
| Audio | Narration offset and duration |
| Subtitle | Chunk start and duration |
| Scene | Total scene length, text, layout, and transition |
| Music | Background music for the whole video |
Drag a block to shift it, drag its edges to resize. When narration is regenerated or recorded, the scene length follows the new audio.
Transitions
Click the gap between two scenes, or Add transition in the Scene panel, to choose how one scene hands over to the next:
| Transition | Effect |
|---|---|
| None | Hard cut |
| Fade | Crossfade |
| Slide | The next scene slides in |
| Wipe | A wipe across the frame |
| Flip | A perspective flip |
| Clock Wipe | A radial wipe from the centre |
| Iris | A circle opens or closes |
Set the duration with the slider. Transitions are available between scenes, not after the last one.
Music
The Music track holds one background track for the whole video. Choose the music, set its volume relative to the narration, and set how long it fades in and out.
Thumbnail
Upload an image to use as the video's thumbnail in the list, in a course, and on the watch page.
Creating the video file
Click Create video file. TutorFlow renders every scene with its narration, stickers, effects, transitions, and music into one MP4 in the cloud. The dialog shows the estimated time and the email that will receive the result, and you can keep editing while it runs. The list page shows Creating file until it is done.
- Download saves the MP4.
- Share sets who can watch: Private (your classroom team), Unlisted (anyone with the link, hidden from search and the gallery), or Public (a watch page with a transcript that search engines can list). Copy link gives you the watch page address.
- Recreate file renders again after further edits and replaces the previous file.
Each render costs 5 credits when it starts.
