Splitting vs. creating a new scene

Splitting a scene

To split a scene, insert a slash (/) in your script where you want to add a new scene, or click the slash icon to the left of your script. This will add a scene to your composition and fill it with the existing script’s media. This is useful if you already have script media and you want your visuals to change mid-scene.

Creating a new empty scene

You can add a new empty scene in three different ways:

  • Clicking on the slash icon to the left of a blank line your script
  • Adding a slash (/) to an empty line in your Script editor
  • Clicking the + icon to the left of the Script Editor and searching for “scene” in quick actions.

Adding an empty scene will create an entirely new scene with a 5-second gap clip in the script. It’s useful when you want to add new material to your script at a specific point in your video.

Once you add media to the script where the empty scene is positioned, the scene will automatically adjust its length to match the media.
