Editing under tight deadlines is the reality of any newsroom. That’s why SolveigMM continues to improve its browser-based HTML5 Video Editor with features that make rough-cutting, precision editing, and packaging faster—even for high-volume workflows. Here’s a breakdown of the latest tools available now.
Dual Viewer Mode: Timeline & Source Preview
A long-requested feature for professional workflows, the editor now includes a Source Viewer next to the Timeline Viewer—similar to systems like DaVinci Resolve or Avid.
The left panel shows your source clip.
The right panel previews the timeline sequence.
You can switch between them seamlessly.
This lets you review raw footage and monitor the edit in parallel without losing context.
In/Out Points for Source & Timeline Clips
Both viewers now support In and Out point setting:
In the Source Viewer, select only the needed fragment of a clip before inserting it to the timeline.
In the Timeline Viewer, trim the start and end of any segment already in the sequence.
To use:
Load your clip into the Source Viewer.
Use shortcut keys or the new UI buttons to set IN (I) and OUT (O) points.
Hit “Insert to Timeline” — only that portion will be added.
Precise control, faster storytelling.
MXF Timecode Support
When placing MXF files on the timeline, the editor now preserves their original timecode.
This is crucial for:
Conforming to camera logs.
Syncing with separate audio or captions.
Maintaining alignment with broadcaster standards.
You’ll see accurate starting timecodes displayed on each MXF clip once added.
Adjustable Panel Divider and Flexible Layout
You can now easily customize your workspace layout.
The vertical divider between the Media Library and the Timeline can be repositioned by grabbing the header of either panel and dragging it horizontally to resize — perfect for maximizing space when reviewing media or editing on smaller screens.
Additionally, both the Media and Timeline panels can be rearranged within highlighted blue drop zones. Simply drag a panel by its header to a highlighted area to change the layout configuration and organize your workspace the way you prefer.
A small tweak that makes a big difference in flexibility and workflow comfort.
Frame-Accurate Trimming via Time Edit Boxes
For users who prefer typing over dragging, the editor now includes editable timecode boxes next to each clip:
Manually enter the IN and OUT times (HH:MM:SS:FF).
Make precise adjustments without using a mouse.
Perfect for fine-cutting soundbites or syncing to script down to the frame.
AI-Based Sport Highlight Detection
The new AI Highlight Detection Module helps create sports summaries in minutes. The editor uses nablet Shrynk module.
This feature is in demo mode, please contact us to enable it.
How it works:
Load a full match or training session into the timeline.
The AI scans for key action events—goals, attacks, fouls, etc.
It automatically marks them and generates a project with only those highlights.
This is ideal for:
Fast turnaround match coverage.
Creating short highlight reels.
Reducing manual search time.
Project Import/Export (EDL & JSON)
Your work can now be saved or transferred in two formats:
EDL (Edit Decision List): for interoperability with broadcast systems.
Internal JSON: includes timeline, clip metadata, and references to media files.
Use it to:
Exchange projects between team members.
Archive work-in-progress.
Transfer sequences into other NLEs.
You can also re-import EDL/JSON into the editor to resume editing exactly where you left off.
Desktop Edition: For Windows and macOS
For teams who prefer local workflows or want to avoid uploading sensitive content to the cloud, the editor is now available as a native desktop app:
Full feature parity with the online version.
No need to upload files.
Works with heavy MXF or 4K content at native speed.
Additional Tools for Broadcast Workflows
For broadcast-level precision, the editor also includes dedicated timeline settings.
You can switch the time display between timecode only or timecode with frames, depending on your workflow requirements.
There’s also an option to start rendering from the first clip, automatically ignoring any empty space at the beginning of the timeline.
These settings help keep timing accurate and exports clean — especially for broadcast delivery.
Conclusion
All these updates are clearly built for newsroom and live-event work – where speed, control, and broadcast-level precision really matter.
