Video Editing on Sked: How to, common actions and FAQ.

Editing videos in Sked comes with a full swag of tools to help you edit, create, and move fast when managing your media Library.

With a full editing timeline, clip-joining tools, custom audio support, and non-destructive project files, Sked’s video editor gives you everything you need to refine your videos before publishing. Right in the same place you manage your content.

How To Open A Video In The Video and Image Editor

You can access the Video and Image Editor from two places: the Library or within the Create Post window.

In both cases, to open a video in the editor:

  1. Hover over the media item in your Library or within Create Post.
  2. Click the vertical three-dot menu (⋮)
  3. Select Edit from the dropdown

 

Cropping and Resizing Videos

The Video and Image Editor allows you to crop and resize videos from landscape or portrait into platform-ready dimensions. You can do this either from the Library or directly inside Create Post.

How to crop a video to new dimensions:

  1. Open the Video and Image Editor from the Library or within the Create Post window
  2. Select “Resize” from the top left corner of the editor
  3. You can enter specific dimensions or scroll down to see a list of platforms and their preset video resolutions, allowing you fast and accurate resizing
  4. You can reposition, zoom and pan the clip to capture the best section when resizing

 

Note: Cropping, resizing and all other video edits below are subject to Sked’s media editing and saving behavior. You can check out this article for a full explanation of how Library and scheduled-media versions work.



Adding Audio/Music to Videos

The Video and Image Editor can add music overlays to a video and create a new video with the custom audio track. Audio can be in applied from either an audio file loaded into the editor or from a video file that is added to the timeline.

How to add an audio or music file:

  1. Open the Video and Image Editor from the Library or within the Create Post window
  2. From the editor, click uploads to open the uploaded file manager.
    (Note: These items live in a hidden directory in your library, and cannot be manually accessed or managed from the Sked Library.)
  3. You can upload your own additional videos, images and audio.
  4. Additional media can be added to the timeline by dragging and dropping from either the Uploads or from the respective videos, images and audio sections.

 

Note: If you’re working with audio for Reels, make sure to read How trending audio works on Instagram when uploading Reels from Sked to understand how Instagram treats music on upload and what limitations may apply.

Joining or Stitching Videos Together

The Video and Image Editor allows you to join or stitch multiple media assets together into a single video using a full timeline editor. There are many (many) more creative controls for layers, animations, visual effects that can be applied as well.

To join or stitch videos together:

  1. Open the Video and Image Editor from the Library or within the Create Post window
  2. Select "Add Clip" from the timeline
  3. Select the video to add from the Videos tab, opened automatically
  4. Double click or drag it to the timeline editor.

 

Note: Don’t worry about losing your original video files when joining clips. All editing actions are non-destructive — your originals stay intact, and Sked saves the stitched version as a project file you can reopen and edit at any time.

Duplicating Your Videos

You can quickly duplicate videos in the Video and Image Editor, allowing you to quickly build multiple versions for different platforms with different crops, audio or titles.

How to duplicate a video:

  1. Hover over the media item in your Library 
  2. Click the vertical three-dot menu (⋮)
  3. Select copy from the dropdown
  4. Choose a collection you want to copy the asset to
  5. Hit the copy button
  6. Once your video is duplicated, click the the vertical three-dot menu (⋮) on the duplicated video
  7. Select Edit from the dropdown to start editing the duplicated video 

 

Note: Copying will create a new version of the rendered video, and won’t duplicate the design file to bring the original timeline editing on the new version.
