Creating a new project

- **Timeline panel** – manages video, audio, and effects for editing;
- **Program panel** – previews the edited sequence;

- **Effects panel** – contains a library of video and audio effects and transitions;
- **Tools panel** – provides essential editing tools (selection, razor, pan, etc.);

If any panel is missing, you can enable it via the **Window** tab in the top menu.

Main interface panels
