|---|---|
| Clip | A single recorded segment. Videos can be composed of multiple clips. |
| Layout | How your screen recording and camera are arranged in the editor (e.g., side-by-side, picture-in-picture, fullscreen). Layouts don’t affect recording. To record without your camera, toggle it off in the recorder. |
| Multi-layout | Using different layouts at different points in your video. |
| Auto-layout | AI-powered automatic layout switching based on your content. |
| Scene | A section of your video timeline containing one or more clips. |
| Playlist | A collection of videos that can be shared together with a single link. |

| Embed | An iframe snippet that lets you display a Tella video on any website. |
| Transcript | Automatically generated text of everything spoken in your video. You edit it in the Script panel. |
| Script panel | The editor sidebar (labeled Script) where you read and edit the transcript. Shows what was actually spoken, including filler words while trimming. |
