Add generated content

The add menu on a video track can create text, shapes, paint, backgrounds, 3D scenes, and video-generation items. Available shapes include rectangles, ellipses, triangles, stars, arrows, diamonds, polygons, hearts, and crosses.

The add menu on an audio track can create text-to-speech and audio-generator items. Features backed by AI models require the Compute Server.

Record content

Shrimply can record audio and the screen into the timeline. Choose the appropriate recording action from the track controls, then stop the recording when the desired range is complete.
