Video Editing and Creation

HubSpot includes a full video creation and editing suite, not just a clip trimmer. The editor includes:

• A professional timeline where you can split tracks, add image overlays and audio tracks, and preview every change in real time
• Transcript-based editing — delete a sentence in the transcript and it's removed from the video instantly
• Fully undoable transcript edits, so you can experiment without losing your work
• Sequence-level volume controls to adjust audio across your entire video before export
• Precise overlay positioning with arrow keys, alignment guides, and snap-to-canvas controls
• Real-time resize and reposition for text and image overlays in any direction

Yes. You don't need existing footage to start. From a blank project, you can:

• Upload an existing video file
• Record your screen, camera, microphone, or any combination — directly in-browser
• Generate a script with AI by describing your topic, then record with the built-in teleprompter
• Import footage from Descript, HeyGen, or Google Drive

The entire creation workflow — from idea to polished recording — happens inside HubSpot without switching tools.

Open the video editor, start a blank project, and click Record. From there:

• Choose to record your screen, camera, microphone, or all three simultaneously
• Write your script manually or generate one with AI before you start
• Enable the built-in teleprompter — it scrolls your script on screen while you record, and is invisible in the final video
• Finish recording and your footage loads automatically into the editor, ready to trim and polish

No plugins or external tools needed — everything runs in your browser.

Yes. HubSpot includes a unified Captions & Translations panel that handles both in one place:

• Turn captions on and style them from the Style tab
• Switch to the Translations tab to add additional languages — AI translates your captions in one click
• Each selected language exports as a separate video file with translated captions baked in
• Switch between language previews using a dropdown directly in the editor toolbar — no need to open a separate panel
• Supports multilingual export for global audiences without any additional software

Yes. The HubSpot timeline editor supports both image overlays and audio tracks:

• Add image overlays that appear at a specific timestamp in your video
• Resize overlays in any direction and reposition them with pixel-precise arrow key controls
• Use shift + arrow keys for larger positional jumps
• Snap overlays to the center or edges of the canvas using built-in alignment guides
• Add audio tracks as a separate timeline layer — useful for background music or supplemental audio independent of your recorded footage
• Preview all overlay and audio changes in real time as you edit
