# How does the Timeline work?

> How the quso.ai video editor timeline works. Separate tracks for video, captions, audio, and overlays, and how to trim and move items on them.

The timeline is the heart of quso.ai’s video editor. It's where you can view, arrange, and edit your content. Whether you’re trimming clips, adding subtitles, or syncing audio, the timeline gives you complete control over the structure and flow of your video.

## 🧱 What is the timeline?

The timeline is a **horizontal panel at the bottom** of the video editor.

## 🎬 What can it be used for?

You can use this timeline to:

### **Trim or split video clips**

* Hover over the **edges** of a clip and drag inward to trim.
* Use the **scissors tool** to split a clip into two sections.

### **Zoom in/out for precision**

* Use the zoom slider on the timeline to **get a closer view** of your clips for fine-tuned edits.

### **Select timestamps**

* You can directly copy the timestamp to add media such as b-roll or images with great precision.

### **Add/edit scenes using the CutMagic tool**

* You can also add scenes for CutMagic using the timeline.
