The transition from individual generative nodes on the infinite canvas to a polished, unified motion asset happens inside the BLOCKLORE video editor. This interface is a structured, non-linear editing space where you arrange, trim, split, apply transitions, and configure multiple video generations and audio tracks into a single high-fidelity film.
This guide walks through the core functional zones, the editing sidebar, the timeline controls, and the technical parameters that shape the final composition.
1. The creative sidebar and asset library
The left-hand sidebar is the primary navigation and asset hub, organized into five specialized tabs. The Media tab opens the scrollable generation library, displaying native generations, video-to-video renders, and imported clips as visual thumbnails. The Transition tab holds visual effects that smooth the cut between clips. The Text tab overlays, styles, and positions text directly on the video frames. The Captions tab controls automated subtitle generation and styling. The Audio tab manages sound effects, background tracks, and voiceovers.
2. Timeline ingestion and multi-track assembly
The editor is built for a clean drag-and-drop or click-to-add workflow. Click the "+ Add media" block at the start of the primary timeline track to import assets from the media library, or drag clips straight from the sidebar or the infinite canvas onto the timeline.
Directly beneath the primary media track, a secondary "+ Add audio track" option lets you place, align, and sync independent background music, sound effects, or voiceover layers. The timeline ruler marks precise chronological intervals starting at second zero, so exact durations stay readable as clips are placed.
3. Playback, navigation, and zoom controls
The central preview monitor renders the composition in real time, with a dynamic playhead that tracks across the timeline and corresponds directly to the frame on screen. The zoom slider on the middle-right adjusts the horizontal scale of the timeline: zoom in for frame-by-frame adjustments, zoom out for a bird's-eye view of the whole sequence. Next to it, the editor shows the playhead's position against the total length of the composition, alongside a percentage scale indicator.
4. Timeline editing and precision tools
A row of one-click tools sits directly above the timeline track. Play and pause controls sit beside undo and redo arrows for reverting or re-applying sequence edits. The split tool, marked by a scissor icon, slices the active clip at the exact position of the playhead to isolate segments, delete unwanted frames, or insert a secondary clip.
"Trim left" discards every frame to the left of the playhead and "Trim right" discards everything to the right. The magnetic "Snap" toggle, highlighted when active, pulls adjacent clips together so no accidental gaps or black frames survive between scene transitions. The "Captions" toggle enables or disables subtitle tracks across the timeline, and the volume icon on the far left of the track mutes or adjusts the level of the attached audio layers.
5. Configuring global video parameters
Before rendering, the technical output parameters have to match the target platform. They live in the "Video params" bar at the bottom of the interface. Resolution sets the master file output, such as 720p or the higher-definition presets available on your membership plan. Aspect ratio defines the frame dimensions, from 16:9 landscape for wide-screen films to vertical formats for mobile feeds. Frame rate controls playback smoothness and defaults to 30 frames per second. Fit mode, set to letterbox by default, decides how clips with different aspect ratios sit inside the uniform composition canvas, adding neutral bars instead of cropping the original proportions.
6. Exporting the completed composition
Once clips are arranged, trimmed, and configured, the "Export film" button in the top-right corner compiles every linked clip, transition, text overlay, caption, and synced audio track into a single master file. The finished export is saved automatically to your secure, private cloud storage and is immediately available to download or share.
