How to group assets on the timeline
Selecting multiple assets on the timeline and turning them into a group lets you create manageable scenes in a video, streamlining the editing experience. All video assets like videos, images, music, text animations, GIFs, voice recordings, text to speech voiceovers, and overlays can be combined into a group.
Groups can be moved and reordered on the timeline without the need to select multiple video assets individually, maintaining a synced video editing timeline. You can also duplicate a group and create multiple groups easily to suit your video editing needs.
