Short definitions of the words you’ll meet in GoFrame Editor and in these pages, in alphabetical order. Each links to the page that covers it in depth where one exists.
  • Agent: GoFrame Editor Agent, the AI chat inside every project that edits the timeline, generates media, adds captions and exports. See Meet GoFrame Editor Agent.
  • Agent layout: the chat-first project layout, with the chat in the centre and a dock on the right that shows the Preview and Media tabs once the agent produces results. New projects open here. See Editor layout.
  • Animate preset: a ready-made In or Out animation for a clip (Fade, Grow, Shrink, Slide, Spin, Twist, or Gain for audio). See Animate clips with presets and keyframes.
  • Ask mode: a chat mode in which the agent answers questions and explains without changing the timeline.
  • Blade: the timeline tool (B) that cuts a clip where you click. The Select tool (V) is the default. See Edit clips.
  • Captions: on-screen text built from the transcript and styled with presets in the Captions panel. See Captions.
  • Captions page: one screen’s worth of caption words. Pacing (words per page) and page breaks in the word timing lane decide where pages start.
  • Clip: one item on a track: video, audio, image, text, shape, caption or motion graphic.
  • Cloud Sync: uploading an imported file from your browser to the cloud, per asset or automatically. Until then the file is Local only. See Import media.

  • Editor layout: the full editing layout with left panels, Preview in the centre, chat on the right and the Timeline at the bottom. Toggle with ⌘..
  • In/Out zone: the range between an In point (I) and an Out point (O) on the timeline. It doubles as the export range; ⇧X clears it.

  • Invite code: a closed-beta code in the form GF-XXXX-XXXX. See Sign in and beta access.
  • Karaoke highlight: a caption style that colours each word as it is spoken. The Karaoke preset group is built on it.
  • Keyframe: a stored value for a property (opacity, position, rotation, scale or volume) at one point in time; the clip animates between keyframes.
  • Marker: a named, coloured point on the timeline (M) used for notes and navigation. See Timeline basics.
  • Media pool: everything imported, recorded or generated in a project. See Organize the Media pool.
  • Memory: facts the agent keeps across sessions, scoped to a workspace or a project. See Agent rules, memory and voice.

  • Permission request: the card asking you to approve a skill or tool that costs credits, with Deny, Approve once and Always.
  • Plan mode: the Plan toggle in chat. The agent proposes a plan first and waits for Approve & run or Request changes.

  • Preview: the player, in the right dock in Agent layout or the centre of Editor layout.

  • Text FX: text reveal animations, By word, By letter or Scramble, applied to a text clip. See Text and shapes.
