Unfortunately, the more I play with RSD the more I get frustrated. :(
For example, I wanted to try orbit component from foundation framework. For such component to be usefull you need a way to enter information about images and/or text to be displayed, etc. But I haven't found easy way to do that. Only editing html code after exporting and that is imho direct oposit from "No code. Build faster." Since there is no way to import changes back into RSD it creates maintaining web site a nightmare.

How do you get around those limitations ?

That is the easy part. ;)

Once you add the Orbit to your page, go to the Inspector Pane and un-check the box "Hide XX items on this breakpoint". This will then show you all the images that are part of the Orbit component. Just select any of the images, go to the Design Pane and there you can update the image.

Thanks guys,
your answers helped me to get whole new perspective. Now I managed to not just change pictures but to put some text instead of some pictures. I hope that this knowlege will help me to cope with other components too :D

Wayan, it seems to me that there is another step to do after copying button.
Namely, (latest) RSD does not increment data-slide attribute when you copy button (but it does when you copy list item container) so you get two buttons with same data-slide number and it does not work as it should.

Btw, have you noticed which picture you have set to be fifth one (video at 13:05) and which one was showed in preview (video at 13:52) ?
