Editor#

The JSON2Video Editor is a visual editor for movies and templates. It runs in the browser at json2video.com/editor, shows a live preview of what you are building, and produces the same movie JSON the API consumes — so anything you design visually can be rendered from code later, and anything you already have as JSON can be opened and edited visually.

It is the fastest way to design a movie without writing JSON by hand, and a practical way for developers to scaffold a structure before parameterising it in code.

• Overview — what it is, how to open it, and the links that open a project directly.
• The interface — outline, canvas, timeline, properties and the JSON view.
• Scenes and elements — building the movie, and picking assets from the media browser.
• Variables — the values panel, the schema editor and expressions.
• Repeating scenes — one authored scene, many rendered ones.
• Saving your work — signing in, the local draft, templates and import/export.
• Rendering — the pre-flight dialog, credits and the equivalent API request.
