The interface appear quite immediate and intuitive.
On the left side we find the library area, where are grouped all the various editing tools (effects, transitions, filters, etc.) and where we can organize our multimedia contents.
In this section you can also import various types of media, even from mobile devices, or through the Instant Cutter function you can quickly import large media without re-encoding them (very useful in case of high-resolution content).
At the bottom we have the timeline, which allows us to conveniently organize our video clips, audio tracks and any related media elements. The interface of the timeline is presented in drag and drop style and from here you can also add special effects, cut fragments of clips, transitions, filters, in short, a work area that will be used very often when editing and finishing our content.
On the right side we find a preview window where we can review or contents, before exporting them.
