Editor Tutorial

Editor Mode Interface Overview

The Editor Mode interface is divided into two main sections:

• Left Panel: Image and video generation workspace
• Right Panel: Audio timeline (track) workspace

The goal is to generate visual content on the left and align it precisely with your audio on the right.

Left Panel: Generation Workspace

The left panel contains three core functional areas:

1. First-Frame Image Generation
2. Video Generation
3. Audio Analysis (reference only, no auto-generation)

• The bottom section is the generator, where you input prompts and settings
• The top section displays generated images and videos

This panel is where all visual assets are created before being placed on the timeline.

Right Panel: Audio Timeline

The right panel is centered around the audio timeline at the bottom.

Here you can:

• Drag generated videos from the left panel onto the timeline
• Align video clips with specific segments of your audio
• Rearrange video order freely after placement

First-Frame Image Generation in Editor Mode

To generate a first-frame image:

1. In the generator area, select Image
2. Choose your preferred image model
3. Enter your prompt
4. Optionally upload a reference image
5. Click Generate

First-frame images can later be reused to guide video generation.

Video Generation in Editor Mode

Video generation follows a similar workflow:

1. Enter your video prompt
2. Select a video model
3. Optionally choose a first-frame image
4. Generate the video

About First-Frame Images

A first-frame image defines the visual starting point of a video clip.

It strongly influences:

• Composition
• Character appearance
• Overall visual direction

Using a well-designed first frame can significantly improve video consistency and quality.

Applying Videos to the Audio Timeline

Once your video clips are generated:

1. Drag them from the left panel into the timeline
2. Align each clip with the desired audio segment

You can also:

• Change clip order at any time
• Replace or remove clips freely

Lip Sync Feature in Editor Mode

To use the lip sync feature, two steps are required:

Step 1: Select Lip Sync Audio

In the right-side audio timeline:

• Select the specific audio segment that requires lip synchronization
• Beatviz will use this selected audio to guide the AI's lip movement generation

Step 2: Define Visual Direction

You must also provide:

• A prompt describing the character and scene
• An optional reference image

These inputs define the overall visual style while the selected audio controls mouth movement.
