Timeline Editing.

Timeline "Scrubber"

Many users had requested the ability to edit portions of a recording on a given slide. In Explain Everything 1.x, if you make an error during a recording you have to re-record the entire slide. We have added a function to help make mistakes a little more forgiving. 
Press on the time counter on the bottom toolbar  to reveal and hide the timeline scrubber. You will see two tracks. The upper track provides information about tools, objects and colors. IN the example above, you can see the points in time where a red pen, a yellow pen, and a blue pen were used. The hand indicates that objects were moved around on the stage at that point.

The lower track reveals the audio waveform. 

You can manually rewind the track to the point of a mistake using one finger to swipe left or right. Use two fingers to pinch or reverse pinch the timeline to zoom in and out on the timeline.

When you press the 'Record' button in the middle of the track, it will erase everything after that point and begin the new recording.  Press the Fast Forward button to quickly go to the end of the current recording.

Please note: It is not possible to redo a portion in the middle of an existing recording right now, but we are working on making this possible!

These new changes that have been posted look fantastic! I can't wait to use them. Is there an eta? I've been using EE for only a month, but I've found I can't do without it.

Am I wrong in thinking there is a typo in the above? It seems that the program erases everything AFTER the point in the middle of the track. How do you erase a segment at the beginning

I recorded a slide after a segment I wanted to delete by mistake. Can I save the track and erase something at the beginning ?
