Every change starts the same way: show the agent where, say what, and send. You can type, point at something in
the picture, draw over it, or leave a comment at a moment in the video.

*Draw a circle, type the change, send. The agent's work is cut short here: this edit took 1 minute 52 seconds.*

## Type a change

Type in the chat box at the bottom of the chat (it names your agent, for example **Text to Claude Code**) and press Enter. Type `@` to add moments, media, files, or
other projects to your message, and `#` for tools such as **Storyboard** ([every menu and panel](/studio-app/workspace)).

While the agent is working, Enter steers the run: it stops and starts again with your words. Ctrl+Enter does the
other thing and queues your message to run next. To swap them, change **While Framey works, Send** in **Settings** >
**Agent**. Picks and files always queue.

## Point, draw, or comment on the picture

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/comment-tool-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/comment-tool-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="Where Comment is, under the preview" />

The tools under the picture, on the left:

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Select** (V) | Click an element, choose **Prompt to edit** (or press A), and describe the change. Click again to pick what contains it. |
| **Draw** (D) | Circle or mark a spot and say what should change. Several strokes become one drawing. |
| **Comment** (C) | Pin a comment to a spot and moment: **What should change here?** |

The picture opens with **Select**. Press Escape to go back to it from another tool. Right-click an element for quick actions
such as **Ask Framey**, **Hide**, **Bring to front**, **Replace with**, **Cut out object here** (on footage, on a Mac with Apple silicon) and **Delete**.

You can also draw across the timeline to talk about a stretch of the video, such as "tighten this part".

## Send several edits at once

Picks, drawings, and comments do not run on their own. Each one becomes a row in **Pending video edits**, up to 10.
Check them, add a note for all of them, then send them as one request with the send button, for example
**Send 3 edits to Claude Code** (or **Queue 3 edits** while a run is working). Choose **Edit note** to change a row's words, or **Delete** to drop it.

## Change the timeline yourself

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/show-timeline-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/show-timeline-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="Show timeline opens the timeline under the preview" />

Some changes are faster by hand. Show the timeline with the button under the preview. Hover a clip to **Split** it at the playhead, **Delete** it,
open **Quick edit** to change a video or audio clip's **Speed**, **Volume**, and **Fade**, or ask the agent about it,
remove its background or add a transition. Drag clips to move or trim
them.

Right-click an empty gap for **Close gap** or **Close all gaps**.

## Get inspired

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/inspirations-panel-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/inspirations-panel-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="The Inspirations panel on the right" />

Home's **Remix from inspiration** feed and a project's **Inspirations** tab hold short example moments from real
videos (**Motion graphics**, **A-roll Cuts**, **Mobile Ads**). Choose **Add as inspiration** on Home, or **Use** in the
tab, to put a moment in your message as a reference, then say how to use it and send.

## Undo

<HoverVideo className="hf-aside hf-spot" src="https://static.heygen.ai/hyperframes-oss/docs/studio-demos/go-back-v2.mp4" poster="/public/images/studio-app/spots/go-back-v2.jpg" hasAudio={false} label="Go back to before this, under each finished run" />

Press Cmd+Z to undo and Cmd+Shift+Z to redo (Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z, or Ctrl+Y, on Windows and Linux). Each agent run in the chat also has its own **Undo** button.
