What's the difference between the Simple Editor and the Advanced Editor?

You might be asking this question because you want to find the best way to edit their videos using OneTake . OneTake is an A.I. video editing software that enables you to quickly and easily create stunning videos that showcase your expertise and save you time.
However, depending on the type of video you are creating, you may want to use either the Simple Editor or the Advanced Editor.

The Simple Editor is a great choice for users who are already familiar with word processing programs such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. This editor has a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface, which makes it easy to use. However, if you choose to use the Simple Editor for an already-published project, you will need to re-synchronize the content of your video, which can be a tedious task.

On the other hand, the Advanced Editor is a great choice for users who want to make quick changes to the result that the Magic Button provided them with or for those who want to edit their videos manually from scratch. This editor uses "Markdown," a method for taking notes, and provides helpful pointers when you open it. Every change you make in the Advanced Editor is instantly visible anywhere your OneTake Video Player is embedded, so you don’t have to worry about re-synchronizing the content.

A more detailed explanation (with screenshots)



You can edit your videos in OneTake in three ways. First you can just let the A.I. do the job for you (that's what the Magic Button is for!). However, you might want either to edit your video manually from scratch, or to make changes to the result that the Magic Button provided you with. In that case, you can use either of our two editors.

First, the Magic Button


We strongly recommend using this as your first option to edit your videos. If the result is what you wanted, you can publish your videos right away.

Using the Magic Button will save you so much time!

If the result, is, say, 90% or 95% of the way there, then you can do the remaining 5% or 10% in one of the two Editors:

Second option : the Advanced Editor


This editor enables you to edit your videos just like text. The Advanced Editor uses "Markdown", a method for taking notes. If your video is already published online with the OneTake Video Player, then any change you make to the Advanced Editor will be visible instantly anywhere that your OneTake Video Player is embedded.
Since you might not be familiar with Markdown, the Advanced Editor will provide you with a helpful guide when you open it. Just click "Show me the essentials" and you'll get pointers as to how to use it best.

Last option : the Simple Editor


This editor enables you to use an interface similar to Google Docs, Microsoft Word, or any WYSIWYG What You See Is What You Get) word processor.

The Simple editor is pretty straightforward


Please note that if you open the Simple Editor on a project that already was ready to publish (or already published on your website), you will get a warning window asking you to confirm.

Don't worry, everything is fine! This warning is just to make sure you do want to edit an already-published video

Why this warning?


The reason is that after using the Simple Editor, you'll need to re-synchronize the content of your video. (You need to tell OneTake when each title or text should be displayed in the video).
If you want to avoid having to perform this manual task, we recommend that you make your changes directly in the Advanced editor.

In conclusion



We strongly recommend using the Magic Button as your first option to edit your videos with OneTake . This feature allows you to easily create stunning videos in one click, so you can save time and focus on other aspects of your business. If the result of the Magic Button is close to what you wanted, you can use either of our two editors to make the necessary tweaks.

By using OneTake , you can create beautiful, professional videos in just a few clicks. Whether you want to use the Simple Editor or the Advanced Editor, you can edit your videos quickly and easily to ensure you are showcasing your expertise in the best way possible.
