We&#8217;ve added a set of improvements to the interactive video editor that make everyday editing faster and the whole experience more intuitive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Standard keyboard shortcuts for everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can now <strong>copy<\/strong>, <strong>paste<\/strong>, <strong>cut<\/strong>, and <strong>duplicate elements <\/strong>using the<strong> standard keyboard shortcuts<\/strong> you already know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This small change that saves a lot of time and keeps your scenes consistent. Style one text box, label or image the way you want, duplicate it as many times you want, and just change the content \u2014 all elements perfectly aligned without any manual adjusting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large imageShadowExtra\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group-2-2-1024x627.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group-2-2-1024x627.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group-2-2-457x280.png 457w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group-2-2-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/www.jollydeck.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Group-2-2.png 1362w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drop images straight into your scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding images is now as simple as <strong>dragging them in from your computer<\/strong>, or pasting them with <strong>Ctrl + V<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you already have an image selected on the scene, pasting with Ctrl + V replaces it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swapping one visual for another takes a single shortcut.
