Three-Step Workflow

How Does Our AI Automatically Edit Video?

Our AI video editor turns your raw footage into a finished piece in three simple steps. Just upload your content, choose a style, and let our AI agents handle the rest, from cuts to color and captions.

01

Upload Your Video and Audio

Start by uploading your video file (MP4) and any music or audio track (MP3, WAV). You can also paste links from YouTube, TikTok, or SoundCloud, and our platform will extract the content automatically.

02

Choose Your Editing Style

Select a creative mode like 'Viral Shots' or 'Storytelling'. Tell the AI the mood and pacing you want. Our AI will analyze your content and apply professional editing techniques based on your goals.

03

Generate and Refine Your Edit

Our AI Director generates a full edit with cuts, transitions, and captions in about 5 minutes. Review the video, make any adjustments in our in-browser editor, and export your final MP4 in 1080p.

AI Editing Capabilities

What Makes Our AI Video Editor Different?

AI DIRECTOR

Our AI Plans Your Edit, Shot by Shot

Instead of just trimming clips, our AI Director analyzes your footage and creates a directorial vision. It automatically identifies the best moments, allocates A-roll and B-roll, and plans a shot sequence that tells a coherent story, saving you hours of manual logging and assembly.

  • 6 AI agents for pre-production
  • Allocates A-roll, B-roll, and inserts
  • Creates a logline and directorial vision
  • Detects key moments automatically

BEAT SYNC

Automatic Cuts on the Beat

When you add a music track, our AI doesn't just place it in the background. It analyzes 8 musical dimensions, including the beat grid, energy curve, and song sections. This allows the AI to make cuts that are perfectly synchronized with the rhythm and mood of your song.

  • Analyzes 8 dimensions of music
  • 5 pacing modes from 4 to 64 beats
  • Syncs cuts to percussive events
  • Matches visual energy to music
