The inspector is Studio’s right-hand panel. Its icon strip holds four tabs — Nodes, Media, Properties, and Plugins — and selecting a clip anywhere in Studio opens Properties with that clip’s controls.
Nodes
A searchable list of every clip in the current scene, each with a thumbnail and a type badge (video, image, audio, text). Click a row to select that clip and jump the playhead to its start — the fastest way to find something in a busy timeline.
Your entry point for bringing new material into the scene:
- Generate — create a new Image, Video, or Audio asset with AI.
- Libraries — drop a file to upload it, or open your Brand Kit and Asset library to reuse what you already have.
Properties
The per-clip editor. The header shows the clip’s Start, End, and Duration, and the sub-tabs below adapt to the clip type — video clips get Transform, General, Color, Compositing, and Effects; image clips skip General; audio clips get Audio and Speed.
Numeric fields are drag-to-scrub: drag the label left or right to change the value, hold ⇧ for fine steps or ⌥ for coarse ones.
Keyframing properties
Animatable properties — scale, position, rotation, blur, opacity, and volume — show a small diamond next to the field. Click it to add a keyframe for that property at the current frame; click again to remove it. The diamond fills in when a keyframe exists at the playhead. Once a property has two or more keyframes, edit its motion in the timeline’s keyframe graph.
Plugins
A small marketplace of integrations. Open a plugin’s tile for its description, then choose Install plugin — installed plugins get their own tab in the inspector strip. The Pexels plugin, for example, adds stock photo and video search; double-click a result to add it to your scene.
Clicking a clip on the timeline and clicking it in the Nodes list do the same thing — pick whichever is closer to hand.
