## Overview

This hub is for the editing that happens to a finished video clip: cutting it down, fixing the framing, changing the pace, or applying a look. The trim and cut tools extract a segment losslessly, the transform tools crop, flip, rotate, and reverse, and the speed tools speed up or slow down while keeping audio pitch in tune. The effects group adds fades, blur, sharpen, general filters, and overlay compositing, and the stabilizer removes camera shake. Use it to clean up a recording, prep a short clip for social, or fix footage before re-encoding.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from the video utility and remux hubs?

The video utility hub focuses on extracting audio, generating previews, and translating subtitles. The remux hub handles container repackaging and muxing. This hub is for editing the picture itself: cutting, cropping, flipping, changing speed, and applying visual effects and stabilization.

### Do trim and flip re-encode the video?

Trim can extract a segment with fast, lossless processing, and flip keeps the original container format and copies the audio stream when possible, so they avoid a full re-encode where they can. Effects like blur, sharpen, and fade require a re-encode.

### Does changing speed keep the audio in tune?

Yes. Both the speed changer and the speed-up tool maintain audio pitch, so slowing down or speeding up the video does not shift the audio into a different key or make voices chipmunk-high.

### What does the stabilizer do?

The Video Stabilizer reduces camera shake using vidstab motion analysis, smoothing out handheld footage for a steadier, more professional result before you export.
