The video editor is where you build highlight compilations and edit videos before they go out to your audience. You’ll use the same editor whether you’re polishing a highlight that was automatically created from a match event, assembling a compilation from several clips, or trimming a video you’ve uploaded directly to Multimedia. It brings together media import, a preview player, a trim and arrange toolbar, a multi-track timeline, a properties panel, and an export panel, so you can go from raw footage to a finished, published video without leaving the one screen.

​

There are two ways into the editor, depending on what you’re working with.

​

If you’re editing a video, go to Multimedia > Videos and open the video you want to work with (upload one first if it isn’t there already). With the video open in full-screen view, click the three dots menu in the top right corner, then select the option to open it in the video editor.

​

If you’re working with a highlight or a compilation, go to Multimedia > Highlights, find the highlight or compilation, and click Edit Highlight to open it in the editor.

​

Either way, the editor opens with your content already sitting on the timeline, ready to work with.

​

​

The Import Media panel sits on the left of the editor and is where you bring in everything you need to build your video. It’s organised into six types:

​

• Highlights: pull in existing highlights from this match or others

​

• Images: add photos, logos, or other still graphics

​

• Videos: bring in videos you’ve already uploaded to Multimedia

​

• Transitions: add a transition clip to use between other clips

​

• Graphics: bring in broadcast graphics such as league tables, fixtures, or match stats

​

• Audio: add music or sound clips

​

To add something, select one or more items from any of the six tabs, they’ll collect together in the Queue tab as you go. Once you’ve selected everything you need, click Import once to bring it all onto the timeline together, each type lands on its own labelled track.

​

The preview player sits in the centre of the editor, above the timeline, and shows exactly what your video will look like as you build it. Use the play button, or the timeline below, to move through your video and check your edit. You can also zoom in on the preview for a closer look, or click and drag the frame to reposition it.

​

The toolbar sits directly above the timeline and gives you the tools to shape your clips once they’re in place:

​

• Copy: duplicate a selected clip

​

• Split: cut a clip into two separate clips at the playhead

​

• Text: add a text overlay to your video

​

• Shape: add a shape overlay to your video

​

• Crop: crop a clip’s frame

​

• Delete: remove a selected clip from the timeline

​

To trim a clip’s length, select it on the timeline and drag either edge in or out. Select any clip first to bring up the toolbar options relevant to it.

​

Everything you import lands on the timeline as its own track, each one clearly labelled by type, so it’s easy to see and organise as you build your edit.

​

Drag any clip left or right along its track to reposition it in time, or drag it up or down to move it to a different track altogether. Use the zoom control to spread the timeline out for more precise adjustments, especially useful once you’ve got several tracks and clips to line up.

​

​

Select any clip on the timeline to open its Properties panel on the right. This covers everything specific to that one clip:

​

• Align, Size, Position, and Rotation: resize, reposition, or rotate the clip within the frame. Keep the link icon on next to Size to resize height and width together, so your clip doesn’t stretch out of shape.

​

• Lead/Lag: adjust how much footage plays before and after this clip’s start point, the same lead and lag settings used elsewhere in LIGR Live.

​

• Video Format: change this clip’s aspect ratio without leaving the editor.

​

• Audio: use Detach Audio to move or edit a clip’s sound independently from the clip it came from, adjust Volume, or use Ducking to automatically lower this clip’s volume whenever another track’s audio plays over it.

​

• Layer: adjust Opacity to fade a clip, or blend it with the clips underneath.

​

• Colour: adjust Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue to correct or stylise a clip’s colour.

​

• Animations: add a fade, slide, zoom, or pan, these play automatically when the clip starts or ends, no manual keyframing needed.

​

To add an intro or outro to a highlight or video, open it in the video editor, then import an extra video, highlight, or transition using the Import Media panel. Drag the new clip onto its own track and position it before your main clip on the timeline for a pre-roll, or after it for a post-roll.

​

Use the toolbar to trim the new clip’s length, and the Properties panel to adjust its size, position, or add a transition animation between it and your main clip. Save Sequence and Export Video work exactly the same as any other edit, your original stays untouched and the exported version is created as a separate file.

​

The Settings panel sits on the right of the editor and covers everything you need to check before your video is ready to export:

​

• Details: set your file name and choose a preset, which controls the aspect ratio and resolution your video exports at

​

• Video: review the resolution and frame rate set by your preset, and toggle Clip Content to Canvas

​

• Audio: set your codec and bitrate

​

• Broadcast: turn on Broadcast Safe Export if your video needs to meet broadcast standards

​

• Meta Data: add or review metadata attached to the file

​

• Publish: send your finished video straight to social media once it’s exported

​

It’s worth working through each tab before you export, since these settings determine how your finished video looks and where it ends up.

​

Save Sequence saves your progress as you work, so you can come back to it later without losing anything. It doesn’t create a finished video file on its own, it just keeps your edit safe.

​

When you’re happy with the result, click Export Video. This renders your edit into a finished video file using the settings you configured in the Settings panel. Exporting runs in the background, so you can navigate away from the editor and keep working on other things while it finishes. Once it’s done, your exported video will be available wherever you configured it to publish.
