• Text slide at the pointer: a title card from a template, split into the video.
• Picture at the pointer: a still or moving picture, split into the video.
• Soundtrack at the pointer: music under the video, in its own lane.
• Transitions at every join: one transition everywhere, plus fade in and out.
• Video from Gallery / from files: another video at the end of the timeline.
