From good to launch: fine-tuning videos in the timeline

Descript
February 9, 2026

Text-based editing gives you speed. The timeline gives you control. The good news: you don't have to choose. They stay in sync, so you can move between the two without breaking anything. In this session, we'll show you when to drop into the timeline, how to make precise adjustments, and how to get back out without losing the speed you're used to. We'll cover: - A tour of the timeline and what everything does - When it makes sense to use it (and when it doesn't) - Making frame-level cuts and adjustments - Keeping your project clean as you move between views We'll walk through concepts, show real examples, and save time at the end for Q&A.
