Where to find it

Edit moments lives in the video viewer. Open any finished video from the studio or from your Vault, and choose Edit moments from the tool rail beside the video. A timeline opens under the video with a play button, the current time, a ruler in seconds, and your Cancel and Send edits buttons.

The video viewer with the tool rail on the left and the Edit moments tool labelled — *In the app.* Edit moments is in the tool rail on any finished video.

Edit moments open on a video: the timeline under the video with two marked moments, the play button and time, Mark here, Cancel and Send edits, and the note for moment 2 — *In the app.* Two moments marked on the timeline. The selected moment's note shows under the track, and over the video while it plays.

Step by step

Play the clip and find the moment Use play and the timeline to find the seconds you want to change.
Drag across the timeline to mark it A numbered range appears. Drag its start and end handles to adjust it.
Say what should change there The note box asks “What should change here?” Describe what you want to see in that moment.
Add more moments if you need them You can mark up to three moments in one edit, each with its own note.
Press Send edits Send edits waits a moment until every note has been read. Your edited video takes a few minutes and appears in your Vault when it's ready. The original video stays as it was.

On your phone

Edit moments on a phone: the video above, and the timeline panel below with play, Mark here, Cancel, Send edits and one marked moment — *In the app.* On a phone the timeline sits under the video, with the same controls.

One moment, or a change that stays

Not every edit is the same kind of change, and Edit moments treats them differently.

A short action. “Smile at the camera here” or “she waves.” Something that happens and is over. It stays inside the moment you marked.
A change that stays. A new outfit, a new background, a different hairstyle. Once it changes, it should stay changed, so Sozee runs it from your moment to the end of the video.

When your note describes a change that stays, the timeline stretches that moment to the end of the video and tells you: “This change stays, so it runs to the end of the video.” If you really did mean just that moment, press Only this moment to switch it back. You can flip it again with Keep it to the end.

The Edit moments timeline panel with a note reading Swap her top for this one, and under it: This change stays, so it runs to the end of the video, with an Only this moment link — *In the app.* A change that stays: the panel says so under the note, with Only this moment to switch it back.

Show it with a reference picture

Like Comment Edits on photos, each moment can carry a reference picture from your Outfit library, your Product library or a photo you upload. Your note can then point at it directly, for example “she puts on these sunglasses.”

A change meant to last works best when the moment runs to the end of the video, so if you're swapping an outfit with a reference, leave it on Keep it to the end.

The rules that keep edits clean

Each moment is at least 4 seconds. Mark something shorter and it's extended for you, and the timeline tells you so. A range may also be nudged to a natural pause so the edit blends in.
Up to 3 moments at a time. Need more? Send these, then run another edit on the result.
Moments can't overlap. If two ranges touch, combine the notes into one range or move one of them.
The sound stays as it is. Edit moments changes what you see, never what you hear.

Writing notes that land

Don't do this

“Make this part better”: nothing to act on. One long range covering three different changes with one note. A new outfit set to Only this moment: it will vanish when the moment ends.

Do this instead

“Smile at the camera here” on the few seconds where it should happen. One moment per change, each with its own short note. “Swap the top for this one” with the top attached, kept to the end.

Quick checklist

Finished videos only, from the studio or your Vault.
Up to 3 moments, at least 4 seconds each, no overlaps.
One change per moment, written as the result you want.
Outfits, backgrounds and hair: keep them to the end.
The sound and the original video are never changed.

Open a video that's nearly there, mark the seconds that aren't and send your edits. Open your Vault
