The Tools panel: tool groups, Object Mask, Area and Create Video Grid

Applies to 0.11Updated 9 Nov 20261 min read

Related tools share one button. Click for the tool you used last, or long-press to pick another. Every shortcut works as before.

The timeline's tool column groups related tools so the panel stays short.

Groups

• Selection: Selection, Track Select Forward, Track Select Backward.
• Ripple: Ripple Edit (B), Rolling Edit (N), Rate Stretch (R), Remix.
• Razor, Slip (Slip, Slide), Pen (Pen, Rectangle, Ellipse, Polygon), Hand (Hand, Zoom) and Type (Type, Vertical Type).
• Object Mask and Area have buttons of their own.

Pick a tool

• Click a group button for its tool: the one in use, else the one you used last.
• Long-press the button, or click the small triangle in its corner, to list every tool in the group with its key.
• Every keyboard shortcut works as before.

Create Video Grid

The Create Video Grid button at the bottom of the tool column works on the selected video clips, the same as the menu item.
