WeVideo: Interface
WeVideo, 2022. Be aware that different versions of WeVideo will vary in appearance and functionality.
The following is the interface of the Editor, which is where all video/audio editing takes place. Create a new Edit or open an existing one to access the Editor. The information and images below are based on the Full-featured editor (see corresponding section below for more details).

2. Tabs:
- My Media: import and manage your own media.

- Images: add stock images to your Edit.
- Audio: add stock music and sounds to your Edit.

3. Browser: displays content according to the selected tab.
4. Preview Window: displays a preview of the selected clip from the Browser or Timeline.
5. Timeline: video projects are constructed here. The Timeline contains tracks for video and audio. By default, one text, one video, and one audio track are available.
6. Playhead: marks the current time position in the Timeline. The Preview Window will display the media thats at the current position of the playhead.
Simplified Editor vs Full-Featured Editor
Video projects can be edited in two different modes: Simplified editor, and full-featured editor. We recommend using the full-featured editor because it is more robust. Instructions in this guide are based on the Full featured editor mode.
To switch editing modes, click the Main Menu button to the top-left, which looks like three stacked lines, and click Convert to Full-featured editor. Be aware that Edits started in the Full-featured editor cant be converted to the Simplified editor.
