Scenes are the segments that make up your video. The timeline shows their order and duration. Select a scene to work on it, or move the playhead to preview a point in the video. To change how fast a scene plays, see [Change scene speed](https://screenity.io/help/web-editor/change-scene-speed). For trimming, splitting or rearranging scenes, see [Trim, split and rearrange scenes](https://screenity.io/help/web-editor/trim-split-and-rearrange-scenes). To remove a range from within a scene, see [Cut a section from a scene](https://screenity.io/help/web-editor/cut-a-section-from-a-scene).

## Add scenes

Use **Create** to add a recording, upload media or choose an available scene. A video or still image you upload can be a whole scene. See [Use an image or screenshot as a scene](https://screenity.io/help/web-library/import-videos#use-an-image-or-screenshot-as-a-scene).

To duplicate the scene at the playhead, press `Ctrl+Shift+D` (Windows/Linux) or `Command+Shift+D` (Mac). For other editing keys, see [Keyboard shortcuts](https://screenity.io/help/web-editor/keyboard-shortcuts).

## Use a template or saved scene

Open **Create** and choose **Templates** to add a pre-made scene. Select its text in the preview to edit or restyle it, and use its scene settings to adjust the available frame and speed controls. Drag its edges to change its duration, or reorder it like another scene.

To reuse a scene you've edited, save it to your library. See [Save a scene to your library](https://screenity.io/help/web-editor/save-scenes-to-your-library).

## Show overlay timing

Use the timing button beside **Split** to show or hide overlay timing lanes on the timeline. Its arrow opens **Timing options**:

- **Off** hides overlay timing lanes.
- **Show timing for selected** shows the timing lane for the selected overlay.
- **Show all timing** shows timing lanes for all overlays in the selected scene.

The all-timing option is unavailable when the video has no overlays. In **Zoom**, **Layout** and **Cut**, overlay timing is hidden while those tools use the timeline, and the timing button is disabled. Open another tool, such as **Scene**, to change the timing display.
