Live Editor Overview

Cinamaker’s in-app Live Editor lets you edit your previous Camera, Audio, and Media decisions from your recorded sessions. We call this Live Editor because, unlike other video editors, Cinamaker’s multi-camera, multi-input video production platform allows you to edit live while recording and live streaming (production), and/or edit afterward while in playback (post-production).


Cinamaker’s in-app Live Editor now gives you three (3) editing modes during post-production that make editing faster and more efficient;  Roll Editing, Instant Editing, and Cut Editing.


Instant Editing

Instantly make changes to your Cinamaker recording; Camera selections, Audio mixes and Media objects. Display decisions to all or portions of your timeline with a few clicks.


This document describes how to use Cinamaker Director Studio Live Editor to edit your recordings using the Instant Editing. In this mode you can instantly edit your Cameras, Audio mix, and/or Media elements of a designated range on the editor timeline.
