What this does
Use a focused follow-up when an edit is close to what you wanted. Use a manual control for an exact property, header Undo for an unwanted history step, or an applied quick-edit card’s controls for that pass. Each method has a different scope; review what it changes rather than assuming the rest of the project is untouched.
Header Undo follows edit history. Undo on an applied Quick edits card targets that named pass’s revert behavior. Identify which control you are using and inspect the result. Neither is a promise to recover every earlier change after the history or pass state is no longer available.
How to do it
Follow these step-by-step instructions in Cubix.
Review the changed section
Wait for the current editing run to finish. Play the affected section with sound and note the current timeline time, spoken phrase and problem. Open Show Timeline if you need to inspect clips or their boundaries. Check the original recording when wording or meaning may have been cut. If the project is still processing or not ready to play, resolve that before judging the result.
Send a targeted follow-up in Ask Cubix
Open Ask Cubix from the editor tools and use the same project conversation. Describe where the problem occurs, the change you want and the elements to preserve. Refer to the current edited timeline when using a timestamp. Send the request, wait for the result and review the actual playback; the response alone does not establish that the edit is correct.
Use a manual adjustment for an exact property
Select the relevant caption, text or clip on the canvas or timeline. Use the properties available for that element to adjust its position, size, timing or other supported setting. Inspect adjacent captions and cuts afterward. Not every element has the same controls; do not change an unrelated item just because its panel is open.
Adjust or revert a named quick edit
Find the named pass in Quick edits. If it shows Applied and an Edit button, open Edit to inspect the available settings. Change only a supported control. To remove the pass, use its card’s Undo; some settings panels label the same pass-specific action Revert. This is different from header Undo. Some results do not have an adjustable card, and revert behavior depends on the pass and the edits made afterward. Check the restored timeline and playback.
Use header Undo for an unwanted history step
Choose Undo beside the project name at the top of the editor. It restores the previous available history step. A completed agent turn can group several operations when no manual edits interrupt it. A manual adjustment made later may be undone first; manual changes between agent operations can produce separate steps. Inspect the result after each press. Use Redo if available when you took back the wrong step. A new edit can clear the redo path. A dimmed Undo button means there is no available step to undo in the current history.
Check the correction before exporting
Play from just before the changed moment to just after it. Check complete words and meaning, caption spelling and timing, framing, audio levels and the details you asked to preserve. If the correction missed, describe the remaining issue or choose the appropriate manual/Undo control. Once satisfied, export and play the downloaded file before publishing; check that the picture, captions and sound match the reviewed result.
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Use the pattern: where it happens → what should change → what should stay. The example prompt is a template; replace its timestamp and issue with your own.
- Ask to adjust an existing treatment instead of adding it again. Repeat behavior varies: a tool may refuse a duplicate, run new work or apply another effect.
- Do not assume every quick-edit setting can be changed through chat. If the requested setting is unavailable, use the card’s supported controls or an appropriate manual adjustment.
- Review between corrections. If an unwanted change appears, decide what to recover before adding further edits.
Keep the source recording available for comparison. A shorter or more polished result still needs a meaning, picture and sound check before it is ready to publish.
