The image editor
In the viewer, click the brush icon (“Edit”) to open the full-screen editor.
- Tools: Selection (move/resize, Del erases), Hand (move the view), Pencil, Shapes (arrow, rectangle, ellipse), Text, Eyedropper (grabs the color of a pixel in the image), Blur, Crop, Magic wand (makes a flat background transparent).
- Color: quick palette, color wheel and hex code (#), with an eyedropper to sample a color from the screen. Thickness and text size (2 / 4 / 8 / 14). Rectangle and ellipse have an adjustable fill opacity to highlight an area.
- Wheel zoom + − / % / + buttons, graduated rulers, and an Undo (Ctrl+Z) / Redo (Ctrl+Y) history.
To save: “Copy” (clipboard), “Save copy” (creates a new Instant), or “Overwrite the original”.
Set a custom thumbnail
You can replace a Moment's or a Sequence's thumbnail with any Instant from your gallery (edited or not) — handy for a cover that reads better than a random frame pulled from the video.
- Hover the Moment (or Sequence) card and click the “Thumbnail” button (image icon) in the action bar.
- In the window that opens, pick the Instant to use as the cover.
- The page refreshes and the new thumbnail shows right away.
