The Klip Editor is where you create and edit Klips. You can also create data sources in the Klip Editor.
Every Klip is made up of attributes called components that control virtually every part of your Klip, from its title to its visualization style. The Klip Editor lets you work with your Klip components to customize your Klip's data, properties, and appearance.
