Inspector Reference
Find the controls for every editor inspector tab and selected timeline element.
The inspector is the right-side control area in the editor. It changes based on the active tab and the selected timeline or preview element.
Background
Use Background to style the canvas behind the screen recording.
- Wallpaper, gradient, color, and image modes
- Generated wallpaper styles such as Soft Mesh, Organic Blobs, Folded Planes, Wavy Bands, and Rounded Shapes
- Palette and shape shuffle controls for generated wallpapers
- Linear and radial gradients with adjustable stops
- Blur, padding, rounded corners, and shadow
- Image import for custom backgrounds
Background settings are especially useful for Shorts, square posts, and demos where the captured source does not fill the final aspect ratio.
See Backgrounds, Gradients, And Wallpapers for the full background workflow.
Screen
Use Screen for the main capture and timeline visibility.
- Lane Visibility toggles for tracks you want to show or hide while editing
- Preview details for source and playback context
- Clip Speed controls for selected screen, webcam, or audio clips
- Cursor segment details when cursor visibility items are selected
- Selected zoom or 3D punch controls when those timeline elements are active
Use speed changes for waiting, loading, repetitive typing, or other low-information moments. Keep important narration and UI interactions at normal speed unless the speed change is intentional.
Camera
Use Camera for webcam presentation.
- Show or hide webcam picture-in-picture
- Adjust PiP size, shape, position, opacity, and corner radius
- Switch between normal background, background blur, person segmentation, and green screen

See Webcam Backgrounds And Green Screen Keying for a deeper workflow.
Audio
Use Audio for the project mix.
- Master volume and stereo/mono output
- Voice presets such as raw, podcast voice, clean voiceover, screencast, and interview

Use Privacy before anything is shared.
- Draw Rect for manual masks
- Auto Detect for credential-like text
- Blur or pixelate sensitive regions
- Tune intensity and padding
- Review manual and detected redactions
