Timeline editor
Most videos never need it: the guided flow writes, directs and reviews everything for you. When you want to place something exactly, switch to the timeline and edit the finished video directly, with every change snapped to the voiceover.
Every scene, on-screen reveal and sound effect sits on a timeline under the narration. Drag a reveal and it lands on the word you drop it on, so titles, items and illustrations always appear exactly when they're spoken.
Highlight part of the timeline and say what you want, like “make this list punchier” or “show the product here instead”. Only the scenes you selected are rewritten, and the AI sees the frames exactly as you do. One click undoes it.
When the spoken words stay the same, your edit re-renders without recording the narration again, so timing tweaks come back in seconds. If you change the words, Etchly records the new lines for you.
The guided steps and the timeline are two views of the same video. Change the brief or the script in the guided flow, fine-tune on the timeline, and your browser remembers which one you prefer.

Yes. Scene cuts, splits and merges move by the word, as long as the narration stays the same.
Re-rendering an edit uses the normal render price. Asking AI to rewrite a selection costs the flat revision price, and new illustrations only if the change needs them.
