# Editors

Visibox has two kinds of editor, and they do different jobs.

*   **Editor Panels** are the popups you get by right-clicking something in the Controller window. They edit one Clip, Song, or Project at a time, and they close when you are done.
*   **The Editor Window** is a tabbed window holding the Effects, Visualizers, and [Overlays](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/overlays/) editors. It is where you build the presets that the panels then assign.

Reach for a panel to change this Clip. Reach for the Editor Window to change the preset every Clip uses.

## Editor Panels

Right-click anything in the Controller window to open its panel:

*   **Right-click a Clip** to open the [Clip Editor Panel](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/editors/clip-editor-panel/).
*   **Right-click a Song** to open the [Song Editor Panel](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/editors/song-editor-panel/).
*   **Right-click the background** of the Song list to open the Edit Project panel. See [The Visibox Interface](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/interface/#the-edit-project-panel).

The panel opens at your cursor with the options that apply to what you clicked. It works from the keyboard too:

*   Arrow keys move through the rows and open or close their sub-panels.
*   Typing jumps to a matching row.
*   Escape steps back out.

### Editing several items at once

Select several Clips or Songs first, then right-click any one of them. The panel opens on the whole selection.

To build a selection:

*   Hold ⇧ (Shift) and click to select a range.
*   Hold ⌘ and click to add or remove one item.
*   Drag a box across the Clip grid to select everything it touches.

The panel shows the options common to everything you selected. Where a value differs across the selection, it reads **Mixed**. Change it and every selected item takes the new value.

For more on selecting Clips, see [Adding Clips](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/adding-clips/#selecting-multiple-clips). For Songs, see [Adding Songs](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/adding-songs/).

### Subpanels

Some rows open a **subpanel** to the side when you hover over them:

*   **Sliders** for continuous values like volume, speed, and fade times. Click the displayed value to type an exact number.
*   **Radio lists** for picking one value, such as Fit Mode or Launch Mode.
*   **The filter editor** for turning several visual filters on and adjusting each one.
*   **The color picker** for choosing a color from the system picker, a hex value, or a preset swatch.
*   **Tweak panels** for the parameters a Clip’s Effect or Visualizer preset exposes. See [Effects](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/effects/#tweak).

Double-click a slider to put it back to its default.

## The Editor Window

Effects, Visualizers, and Overlays each have a full editor, and all three live as tabs in one window. See [The Editor Window](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/editors/editor-window/) for how to open it and work with tabs.

## Panels and menus

Most Clip and Song options also appear in the [Clip Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/menus/menu-clip/) and [Song Menu](https://manual.spaceage.tv/6.0.0/menus/menu-song/) in the menu bar. The panels give you finer control:

*   **Continuous sliders** instead of preset steps. Set speed to 1.37x, not only 1x or 2x.
*   **Typed values.** Click any slider value and type an exact number, even past the end of the slider.
*   **A full color picker** instead of a short list of colors.
*   **Visual filter editing.** Enable, adjust, and combine filters with their own sliders.

The menus are quicker for a single known change. The panels are better for dialing something in.
