What Is the Video Editor?
The Giraffe360 Video Editor is a unified workspace for building, customising, and exporting property videos. You can start from a professionally designed template or build a video from scratch – mixing and matching different clip types, panoramas, and still photos all in one place.
The editor supports all Giraffe360 video types as clip sources:
Cinematic clips – smooth, music-synced camera movements from your Gaussian Splat scans
Virtual Drone clips – simulated aerial flythroughs of your property
Orbital Drone clips – circular orbit shots around specific rooms
Speedramp Drone clips – high-energy flythroughs with dynamic speed changes
Panorama clips – 360° panorama stills from your virtual tour
Still photos – individual property photos
Note: Cinematic, Drone, Orbital, and Speedramp clips require a LiDAR V2 / PRO Camera with automatic tripod and a minimum of 2 double scans. Panoramas and photos can be used with any scan type.
Getting Started
Opening the Editor
Open the project you want to edit
Click on the “Videos” card
Choose where you want to begin:
Option | When to use it |
Click “Create new video” | Opens a blank editor. Build your video from scratch by adding clips, images, and audio in any order. |
Edit (on a Giraffe360 template) | Opens the template for editing. Changes are made directly to that template. |
Duplicate and Edit (on a Giraffe360 template) | Creates a copy of the template for you to edit. The original template is preserved. Best if you want to keep the Giraffe360 version and build a customised one alongside it. |
💡 Tip: Templates come with pre-selected clips and music but have no strict length or content requirements — you can replace, reorder, add, or remove clips freely.
Clips, Images and Clip Management
Adding Content to the Timeline
All your available content is organised in the clips panel on the right. You can search or filter by room, floor, building, or video type – for example, searching a room name will show all available content for that space: panoramas, cinematic clips, and drone clips together.
Photos (original and AI-enhanced) are available under the Images tab in the panel.
To add content, drag a clip or image from the panel and drop it onto the timeline. You can add clips in any order and combine different types freely.
Adjusting a Clip
Once a clip is on the timeline, click on it to access editing options:
Adjust clip region and length — a new window opens where you can drag the start and end arrows to select the region. Click Play to preview, then Apply when done
Reorder clips — drag clips along the timeline to rearrange them in any order
Remove clip — click on the clip and select "Remove Clip" to delete it from the timeline
💡 Tip: There are no strict clip requirements — you can add as many or as few clips as you like, in any combination.

Voiceover
Generate and add voiceovers directly in the editor:

Generate the voiceover – it is saved to your voiceover library (Voiceover 1, Voiceover 2, etc.)
Drag the voiceover from the library onto the timeline, placing it under the clip(s) you want it to accompany
Additional voiceover options:
A single voiceover can span multiple clips if the length allows
Click on a voiceover in the timeline to edit or delete it
Voiceovers remain saved in the library even if removed from the timeline
Adjust voiceover volume using the sound icon, or mute it from volume settings

Captions are automatically generated from your voiceover text. Click the CC icon in the toolbar to toggle captions on or off
Overlays
Overlays can be added to any clip in the video — there are no placement restrictions, and overlay duration can extend across multiple clips.

Video Orientation and Export
Changing Orientation
Switch between formats using the orientation buttons in the editor toolbar:
