Compose and edit

Editing in Decodx happens at the scene level, not on a timeline. You reorder, re-cut and rewrite scenes; the video re-assembles itself.

Light and advanced compose​

Two views over the same project:

  • Light — the scene list, the script, and the essentials. Where most editing happens.
  • Advanced — per-scene control over sources, timing and effects.

Switch freely; they are views, not modes, and neither loses work.

Working with scenes​

Add, reorder, duplicate and remove scenes. Because scenes are independent, reordering never invalidates a render — the scenes you didn't touch are reused.

Trim, crop and aspect ratio​

Trim a scene's in and out points, crop the frame, and set the project's aspect ratio for the destination — landscape for a docs page, square or vertical for social.

Effects​

Applied per scene:

EffectUse it for
ZoomDrawing the eye to the part of the screen that matters
CalloutLabelling a control or a result
SpotlightDimming everything except one region
BlurHiding names, emails, account numbers, anything that shouldn't ship

Blur is the one to be deliberate about: check every scene before publishing, not just the ones you remember.

Captions and chapters​

Captions are generated from the narration script, so they always match what's said. Chapters are derived from your scenes — another reason scene boundaries are worth getting right.

Templates​

Save a project's structure, voice and brand settings as a template and apply it to the next video. This is how a series stays consistent without anyone remembering the settings.

Comments and review​

Leave comments on a project, mark review status, and see the activity trail. Folders keep a growing library navigable.
