You can now edit graphics directly within your Waymark videos.

The new Graphics editing feature expands creative control, giving you the ability to adjust, show/hide, and customize visual layers—just like text and image elements.

Click to Edit Graphics

You can now select graphics in your video preview to make quick changes.

There are two types of graphics:

  • Graphic: shape, transition, and style layers (including grouped shapes).

  • Background Graphic: solid or rectangle shape layers with a solid fill color.

Graphics Toolbar

When you click a graphic, the Graphics toolbar appears.

  • Hide/Show: toggle visibility of the selected graphic. Here is a video on the process!

  • Change Color: adjust fill (and stroke, when available) without affecting global color settings. Here is a video on the process!

Pro tip: If multiple graphics are selected and all support both stroke and fill colors, you can edit both at once. If mixed element types are selected, only fill color will change.

Layers Panel

The Layers panel now includes graphics alongside text and assets.

  • Access it from the top-right Layers button or through the toolbar.

  • Only shows layers available at the current timestamp.

  • Hover over a layer name to see its position on the video.

  • Eye icon: toggle visibility.

  • Globe icon: indicates a global connection (click to jump to that option in the Options panel).

Layers Click Menu

Right-click anywhere on the video preview to open the Layers Click Menu.

  • View all layers stacked at that point in time.

  • Quickly switch between layers by clicking.

Multi-Select Editing

You can now edit multiple graphics at once.

  • Use Shift + Click to select multiple layers.

  • Select layers in the video preview, layers panel, dropdown, or click menu.

  • Scrubbing the video will automatically deselect layers not visible at that timestamp.

Updated Global Color Behavior

If all elements linked to a global color are individually edited, that global color will no longer appear in the Global Colors panel. This makes it easier to track which graphics are still synced to global settings.

Note: Some templates may not fully support graphics editing yet. A few graphic elements may be marked “uneditable”.


Getting Started

  1. Open a video project.

  2. Select a graphic in the video preview.

  3. Use the toolbar or layers panel to edit.
