Arrange and edit clips in Video assembler

Pēdējo reizi atjaunināts 2026. gada 9. nov.

Organize clips, trim footage, split videos, and adjust audio to build your video sequence in Adobe Firefly.

   Video assembler is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, now available for testing and feedback.

Video assembler uses a single-track timeline to arrange clips into a continuous sequence. After adding a video, you can split it into clips, reorder them, trim unwanted footage, and adjust audio levels to refine your project. 

Add clips

You can add new clips to your video assembler workspace if you’ve opened the Video assembler directly from Video > Assemble short video, or if you wish to add new clips to a video created via quick actions.

Add a video clip, using one of these methods:

  • Select the Add videos option from the middle of the preview area when starting a new assembler project.
  • Select the Add content icon from the timeline.
Add content button highlighted above the clip sequence in Video assembler.
Select Add content to import video clips into the Video assembler sequence.

Choose a new video from Adobe cloud storage or your local device by selecting one of the following options:

  • Your files: Select a video from files saved to your Adobe cloud storage.
  • Shared with you: Select a video that someone has shared with you.
  • Projects: Select a video from your existing Adobe projects.
  • Generation history: Select a video that you previously generated.
  • On your computer: Browse and select a video stored on your local device.

Select a video you wish to add to your assembler timeline. The added video will appear at the end of the sequence; you can rearrange the clips later as you prefer.

Select the play icon to play the video and preview your additions.

Select and arrange clips

Select and drag the clip in the sequence to a new position to change its order.

Play the sequence to review the arrangement.

Moving the playhead over a clip also selects it, making it easy to preview and adjust your sequence.

Trim a clip

Identify the clip you want to trim, and hover along the edges of the clip to activate the trim handles.

Drag the start or end edge of the clip to trim unwanted footage.

Select the undo button   to remove the trim, or drag the handles in or out to select less or more of the clip.

Play the clip to review the result.

Trimming adjusts only the clip in your sequence and does not modify the source video.

Split a clip

Identify a clip you want to divide and move the playhead to the point where you want to split the clip.

Select the Split icon or press S on your keyboard.

Video assembler divides the clip at the playhead, creating two independent clips you can arrange or edit separately.

Detect cuts or scene changes in a clip

Select the clip for which you want to detect scene changes.

Right-click and select Detect cuts.

Piezīme

Multi-shot videos opened directly from Quick Actions are automatically split into clips and do not require manual cut detection.

Adjust clip volume

Select the clip whose audio you want to change.

Select the Clip volume icon to adjust the audio level slider or mute the clip to exclude its audio from the sequence.

You can also select multiple clips to adjust their volumes simultaneously.

Play the sequence to review the audio levels and make sure the clips sound consistent.
