The Timeline Editor is a powerful tool to help you aggregate and time different elements together into one content. It can handle the timing of video, voiceover, music, and sound effects to the millisecond resolution.



Here is what you need to know in order to master the Timeline editor.











<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Basics: The timeline block</h4>



You can move individual blocks around to different time by selecting a block and dragging it. To select multiple blocks at once, do cmd+select on mac or ctrl+select on windows.

You can also right click on individual block, change volume or delete, or send feedback on the specific block if you are facing issues.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Advanced: Pinning</h4>



In Genny, timeline blocks function by a concept called Pinning. Pinning will allow you to time different blocks with a higher degree of freedom. 



You can Pin a block on the timeline editor. Pinning the block will do several things.



1. This will prevent the pinned block from being moved in time by other blocks.

2. Moving the pinned block will simultaneously move subsequent blocks.

3. If you unpin a pinned block, the start of the unpinned block will move to the end of the previous block.

Using the Timeline Editor

A great video is almost always accompanied by great music and sound effects.



We provide a basic library of license free music that you can choose from, or you can upload your own. Here is how.







First, click Add Resource button on the top of the timeline editor.

Next, click Sound Effects. Here you will find Background music but also sound effects that fit different themes.

Once you pick your favorite track, click Add to Timeline and you will see a music block created on the Timeline Editor.

You can also upload your own files if you click on the Upload tab.

Adding Music & Sound Effects

When you download audio files from Genny, it will either be in 22.1kHz or 24 kHz. To resample into higher or lower sampling rate, you can use free software like Audacity to do so. Here are the step-by-step.



1. Open Audacity.



2. Load your audio file into Audacity by drag and drop, or by going to File>Open>choose file.



3. You will see Project Rate (Hz) menu on the bottom left corner (I&#8217;m using a Mac. Audacity UI on PC might be different, and also depending on Audacity version.) Click on it, and change the sampling rate to the desired rate.
