Learn how to add new scenes to a video timeline.

Before you begin:

Upload a video to Adobe Express or browse through Adobe Stock videos and open a video in the editor.

  1. Select Add media   from the right of the timeline.

  2. Select an image or video from the Media panel and drag and drop it into the scene.

  3. Hover over a scene to reveal the trim handles and drag them to shorten or lengthen the duration of the scene. Learn how to locate timed objects in your scene and adjust the layer timing.

Tip

Hold the Shift key on your keyboard and select the scenes in the timeline to bulk-edit background colors, apply transitions, delete, or duplicate multiple clips at once.
