Trim, merge and split clips on a full timeline, add text, audio and effects, then send the finished cut straight to the scheduler. No exporting to another app and importing it back.
### Editing and scheduling in the same place.

- **Full timeline** – not a trim tool
- **One workflow** – edit to scheduled
- **94%** – CSAT rating
- **90s** – Average first response

## Cut the clip and queue it without leaving the tab.

Open a clip on the timeline, trim the intro, merge a few takes, add text and an audio track, and drop on a creative effect. Save it back to the library with version tracking so the team always grabs the latest cut, then send it straight to the scheduler.

### Cut a Reel and send it straight to the queue.

Edit the clip on the timeline, add text and an effect, then move it into the Reel or Story composer and schedule it. TikTok video, Instagram Reels and feed video all publish from the same finished cut, so there is no export-and-reupload loop.

### Three things a crop tool simply cannot do.

- **Multi-clip timeline** – Trim, cut, merge and split clips, and combine several takes into one video. Real editing, not a single-clip trimmer.
- **Text, audio and effects** – Add text overlays, stickers and graphics, layer in audio tracks, tune brightness, contrast and saturation, and drop on creative effects.
- **Templates, intros and outros** – Apply templates and effects and build reusable intros and outros, then export the cut back to the library ready to schedule.

### No more exporting to another app and back.

**Editing in a separate app**
- Export the raw clip out to a standalone editor
- Rebuild the same edit for each platform's shape
- Re-upload the finished file and hope it is the right version
- Lose the thread between the edit and the post

**Sked Social**
- Trim, merge and add text and audio on the timeline in Sked
- Crop and resize the same cut to each platform's shape
- Save back to the library with version tracking built in
- Send the finished cut straight to the scheduler

The video editor is built in, not an add-on. Plan limits live on the pricing page.

### Made for teams that live in vertical video.

- **Creator-led brands** – Cut Reels and TikToks the same day you shoot them, add text and effects, and queue them without touching a separate editor.
- **Agencies** – Edit and schedule client video in one place, with version tracking so the approved cut is always the one that ships.
- **In-house social teams** – Turn raw footage into finished posts inside the tool you already plan and publish from, and keep the whole team on the latest version.

### Editing sits inside the rest of the workspace

- **Media library** — Every edit saves back to the shared media library, tagged and version-tracked for the whole team.
- **Scheduling** — Send the finished cut straight to the queue and publish it to Reels, TikTok and feed video.
- **Approvals** — Route the edited cut through internal review or no-login client sign-off before it publishes.

### Can I edit video inside Sked without a separate app?

Yes. Sked has a full timeline video editor built in. Trim, cut, merge and split clips, combine takes, add text, audio and effects, and tune brightness and contrast. Save the finished cut back to the media library with version tracking, then schedule it to TikTok, Reels and feed video without exporting to another tool.

- Multi-clip timeline: trim, cut, merge, split and combine takes
- Text overlays, stickers, audio tracks and creative effects
- Templates plus reusable intros and outros
- Save back to the library and schedule in one workflow
## Questions about Video editing

### Is this a real timeline editor or just trimming?

A real timeline. Trim, cut, merge and split clips, and combine several takes into one video. It is proper multi-clip editing, not a single-clip trimmer bolted onto the scheduler.

### Can I add text and audio to a video?

Yes. Add text overlays, stickers and graphics, layer in audio tracks, adjust brightness, contrast and saturation, and drop on creative effects, all on the timeline before you schedule.

### Can I resize video for different platforms?

Yes. Crop, resize and rotate the clip to suit each platform's shape, so the same edit works for vertical and feed placements without going back to a separate app.

### Can I schedule the edited video straight to social?

Yes. Save the finished cut back to your library and schedule it to TikTok, Instagram Reels and feed video from the same tool, with no export-and-reupload loop.

### Does the edited video save back to my library?

Yes. Every edit exports back to the shared media library with version tracking, so the team always grabs the latest cut and the approved version is easy to find.

### Can I build reusable intros and outros?

Yes. Apply templates and effects and build reusable intros and outros, so a series of videos keeps a consistent look without rebuilding it each time.
