Your first edit

This walk-through makes a short video from your own clip. It takes about ten minutes.

Start a project

Open Evaloon Editor. On the start screen, pick a format: Vertical (1080 × 1920) for phone video, Horizontal (1920 × 1080) for YouTube and widescreen, or Square (1080 × 1080). You can change this later.
The editor opens with your new project. Give it a name in the Project name box in the title bar.

Next time you open the app, your earlier work is under Recent Projects on the start screen.

Know the screen

Area	What it does
Library (left)	Everything you can add: media, audio, titles, transitions, effects, filters, stickers and templates.
Player (centre)	Shows the current frame. Playback controls are under the picture.
Timeline (bottom)	Where you arrange clips on tracks, trim and split.
Properties (right)	Select a clip to change its transform, effects, audio, speed and animation.
AI Editor	The chat panel, where you describe edits in plain language.

At the top you also have three workspaces: Video Editor, Motion Designer and Studio. They share one project. This guide stays in Video Editor.

Add your footage

In the Library, open Media and choose Import media. Pick one or more video files. You can also use Record to capture your screen.
Drag a clip from the Library onto the timeline.
Press play under the Player to watch it.

Cut it

Press S to split the selected clip at the playhead.
Drag the edge of a clip to trim it shorter.
Use Add track when you need another video or audio lane.
Use the undo button above the tracks to step back.

Let the AI do the dull parts

Open the AI Editor panel and describe what you want, for example “Add a title that says Welcome for the first 3 seconds”. Setting up a model comes first: see Edit with the AI chat.

Export

When you are happy with it, choose Export at the top right. MP4 Standard is the best match for most uses. The full list of options is in Exporting your video.

The Help menu reopens the quick tour and lists every keyboard shortcut.
