Hover the picture in the details and a toolbar floats up above it — the same bar you see when that node is selected on the DOTV canvas. So "I have to go back to the canvas for this" no longer applies: crop, trim, remove subtitles and expression tuning all happen right here in the details, and what comes out still lands on the canvas. This section goes through the edits for images, video, audio and text in turn, and whether each one changes this item or makes a new one.
From left to right: Skin texture (two items in the dropdown: Portrait tuning / Expression tuning), Panorama, Multi-angle, Relight, Grid (presets), the Edit dropdown (Upscale / outpaint / repaint / erase / cut out / crop, all six in one place — the button shows the one you used last), Element edit, Layer split, Split grid; after the divider a row of icons: Annotate, Rotate & flip, Crop, repaint, Publish style, download, full screen. For how each one works, see Chapter 3: 3.3 Edit frame, 3.4 Upscale and crop, 3.5 Reworking the picture, 3.6 Fifteen presets.
Trim, Crop, Remove subtitles, Upscale, Analyze, Audio separation, and at the far right Publish effect (sends this clip's look, along with the settings it was made with, to the effect library). Each one is in Chapter 4: 4.3 Trim, 4.4 Remove subtitles, 4.5 Video upscale, 4.6 Audio separation, 4.7 Frame grabs and video understanding.
Click Crop, Trim, Remove subtitles or Expression tuning — anything where you have to point at the picture — and the boxes lay themselves straight over the picture in the details:
Drafts, items still generating and failed ones have no bar — there is no picture to work on yet. Generate it first from the input bar below.
Worth being clear about, because the two outcomes look completely different on the canvas:
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Crop | Written back onto the item itself, non-destructively — the original image or clip is untouched, and clearing the crop brings the whole frame back |
| Trim, Remove subtitles, Upscale, Portrait tuning, Panorama, Multi-angle, Relight, Split grid, outpaint / repaint / erase / cut out, Audio separation, Analyze | A new item appears next to the original node on the canvas, and the original stays |
| Trim, Speed (audio) | Replaced in place by the processed clip |
The new item also joins the matching storyboard column, and the details follow along to it (see 11.1).
