# Scene Editor Overview

> The Scene Editor is your main workspace for arranging and editing visuals in Descript.

Everything visual in your video is arranged in the Scene Editor: videos, images, text, captions, shapes, and layouts. Select any element to move, resize, or restyle it.

**Scene Editor availability**

The Scene Editor is only available in video compositions. It won’t appear in audio-only projects.

## Toolbars

### Layer toolbar

The layer toolbar is available when a layer is actively selected in the scene. Use it to adjust size, position, rotation, cropping, and corner rounding, or to replace the media.
