Platform Overview

Main Interface

When you open CopyCopter Studio, you'll see a modern, streamlined workspace divided into six main areas:

Top Toolbar

Located across the top of the workspace, the toolbar gives you direct access to your most-used controls:

• Select Tool – Pick and move elements on the canvas or timeline
• Text Tool – Add and edit on-screen text layers
• Library Shortcuts – Open your Images, Videos, and Audio libraries
• Undo / Redo – Instantly reverse or reapply actions (Ctrl/Cmd + Z / Ctrl/Cmd + Y)
• Save Project – Save your current progress
• Canvas Zoom Controls – Use –, Fit, and + to adjust the preview zoom level for detailed or full-frame editing

Timeline & Track Management

The Timeline is where you compose your project. It's fully layered, supporting multiple tracks for visuals and audio.

Key Features

• Drag and drop media files from your device or the asset library
• Add unlimited tracks for complex compositions
• Solo, mute, or hide/show tracks for precise control
• Right-click to access contextual menus that change depending on the selected element

Audio Fade & Layering

You can adjust audio fades directly in the timeline using the curved handles at the beginning and end of each audio clip. This provides a smooth transition for background music or voiceovers.

Inspector Panel

The Inspector is where all detailed editing in CopyCopter Studio takes place. It dynamically adapts to the selected layer type — whether image, video, audio, or text — and provides precise controls for motion, style, blending, captions, and AI generation history.

Layout & Position

Fine-tune your layer's placement and dimensions with pixel accuracy.

• Alignment – Snap to top, middle, bottom, left, center, or right
• Position (X / Y) – Manually set coordinates for precise alignment
• Dimensions (W / H) – Adjust width and height with an optional aspect-ratio lock
• Rotation – Apply custom rotation values or animate them over time

Animation & Motion

Bring layers to life using CopyCopter Studio's curve-based motion editor. Animations can be applied to position, scale, and rotation for both images and videos.

Curve Editor

The Curve Editor gives total control over motion timing and pacing:

• Simple Mode – One smooth easing curve for organic transitions
• Multi-Point Mode – Add multiple control points to craft complex motion sequences (e.g., rhythmic bounces, subtle loops)

Fill & Blending

Control the visual interaction between layers.

• Blend Mode – Choose from blending presets like Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Color Dodge, etc.
• Opacity – Adjust layer transparency (0–100%)
• Corner Radius – Round the edges of image or video layers for soft visuals

Video Settings

When a video layer is selected, the Inspector adds playback options.

• Playback Rate – Control speed from 0.5× to 2×
• Fade In / Fade Out – Smooth opacity transitions at clip edges
• Loop Video – Enable endless looping for animations or background footage

Audio Settings

For audio-only layers or videos containing sound, detailed playback and source controls appear.

Source

• Displays filename, duration, and file size
• Cloud icon confirms successful upload or library link

Controls

• Volume – Adjust output level (in dB)
• Fade In / Fade Out – Apply gradual start or end transitions
• Playback Rate – Modify playback speed and pitch

Captions

• Caption Audio – Add or edit subtitles from an audio track, either generated automatically or written manually

Typography (Text Layers)

When a text layer is selected, the Inspector unlocks a full typography system for fine control over fonts, colors, and captions.

Typography

• Font – Choose from all installed or project fonts
• Weight / Style – Adjust thickness (e.g., Regular, Semi Bold, Bold)
• Max Font Size – Set an upper size limit for responsive scaling

• Max Lines – Limit line count for readability (e.g., 1–2 lines per frame)

Generation Info

Tracks every AI-generated step in your creative process — from the original prompt to modified versions.

Contents

• Current Version – Preview of the latest image or video
• Prompt – The text used for AI generation or modification
• Model & Style – Details such as bytedance/seedance-1-pro and rendering preset (raw, cinematic, painterly)
• File Info – Filename, resolution, and duration
• Version History – Expandable list of all previous generations with thumbnails and metadata

Allows comparison, reuse, or rollback to earlier outputs.

Canvas

The Canvas serves as the central workspace where you preview and interact with your project in real time. It visually displays all elements placed on the timeline, allowing you to position, scale, and animate media directly within the editing view.

The Canvas updates dynamically as you make adjustments to your project, providing immediate visual feedback for video composition, animation timing, and layer arrangement. It supports precise on-screen editing, ensuring that every visual element aligns perfectly with your creative intent.

Key Features

• Real-Time Preview – Instantly view changes made to your timeline or selected assets
• Layer Manipulation – Click and drag elements to reposition them within the frame
• Scaling & Rotation – Resize and rotate images or video clips using on-canvas handles

• Interactive Editing – Select elements on the canvas to access detailed animation and layout controls in the Inspector Panel
• Zoom & Fit Controls – Adjust your view using the zoom tools on the top toolbar for precise or full-frame editing

Asset Library

The Asset Library is where all your imported and generated media files are stored and managed. It allows you to organize, preview, and reuse assets across multiple projects for a faster and more efficient workflow.

Located at the top of the workspace, the Asset Library provides a visual grid of all your files, grouped by type. You can browse images, videos, audio files, and past exports, or upload new assets directly from your device.
