Timeline editing without a full NLE — demos that stay shippable

Founders don’t need a Hollywood NLE to ship a launch video. They need a timeline that understands zooms, captions, and SFX as first-class clips — then a local export button.

What stays on the timeline

• Video take plus auto zoom markers you can delete or regenerate
• Captions and optional VO tied to the same beats
• SFX and scene effects as editable layers
• Undo / split / playhead without learning a new career

Ship, don’t spiral

Screen Beaver’s studio is opinionated on purpose. Trim dead air, keep the punch-ins, export MP4. If the UI changes next week, re-record the flow — don’t rebuild a 40-track project.
