Upload raw footage or paste a script, then tell the AI video editor in simple text what you want changed. It trims, adds captions, and polishes your video into content that is ready to publish, with no video editing experience or complicated editing software required.
Key FeaturesFeatures of the AI Video Editor
Text-Based AI Video Editing Commands
Type a prompt describing the change you want, such as removing a section, tightening the pacing, or rearranging scenes, and the editor applies it as a precise cut. Deleting words in the transcript trims the matching footage, so you make edits the way you would edit a document.
Automatic Captions and Subtitles
Generate accurate captions for any clip in seconds, then adjust wording, timing, and customisable caption styles with text animation before export. Because captions come from the built-in subtitle generator, spoken audio becomes clean on-screen text that keeps videos easy to watch with the sound off on social feeds.
AI Audio Cleanup and Natural Voice-overs
Clean up background noise, balance levels, and apply studio-grade audio enhancement without needing an audio engineer. Need a new voiceover? Swap or re-record lines using AI voice Cloning for natural-sounding narration that matches the original speaker across every revision.
One-Click Resizing for Every Platform
Reformat one edit into vertical, square, and widescreen versions in a single pass, or drag and drop elements to fine-tune each layout. The editor reframes subjects and repositions captions effortlessly for TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and email, so one source video can cover every channel.
AI B-Roll and Cinematic Scene Fills
Fill gaps in your footage with AI-generated scenes instead of stock video clips. Type a text prompt and Seedance 2.0 produces cinematic video with accurate motion and lighting that match your cut, so transitions, intros, and cutaways no longer require a second shoot.
Use cases
Earlier, cutting a webinar into short clips used to take an entire day of scrubbing through timelines. Now, the clip generator automatically finds the strongest moments for you and creates captioned, reframed video clips ready for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, so a single recording can power a full week of engaging content.
Offers change faster than agencies can re-edit. Swap scenes, update text, apply video effects, and test new hooks on a promo video in minutes, so your campaigns stay up to date without fresh production budgets or reshoots.
Screen recordings full of pauses and filler make for weak training. Tighten each step, add narration with a cloned voice, and standardise the style across modules, so teams get clear how-to and explainer videos that reduce repeated support questions.
Editing an hour-long episode manually can take up an entire workday. AI removes silences and filler words, cleans up the audio, and adds captions to the final output, so creators can publish more podcasts and YouTube episodes without needing to hire an editor.
Reshooting content for every market is unaffordable for most teams. Run any finished edit through the AI video translator and publish the same video in 175+ languages with perfectly matched lip movement.
Product videos need frequent updates as listings, prices, and features change. Replace scenes, swap video backgrounds, add text overlays, animate stills with image-to-video, and resize for marketplaces and social ads in a single workspace instead of rebuilding every variant from scratch.
How it worksHow the AI video editor works
Go from raw footage to a polished, ready-to-publish video in four simple steps, with AI-powered tools in a single workflow handling the cuts, captions, and formatting.
Upload a recording or screen capture. The editor creates a transcript and scene overview.
View your video as text and scenes. Apply a brand template, then mark the sections you would like to change.
Type prompts to cut, add captions, clean audio, add effects, and resize. Each command becomes an edit.
Finalise the cut, then export in HD or 4K as MP4, along with appropriately sized versions for each channel.
An AI video editor is a tool that cuts, captions, and enhances videos from a simple language prompt instead of manual timeline work. The AI video editor makes studio-quality results possible in minutes by automating complex tasks like trimming, syncing, and captioning, so you edit videos with AI instead of scrubbing through a timeline.
Yes. Every AI edit remains fully adjustable, so you retain creative flexibility over the final result. Fine-tune individual cuts, captions, scene order, and audio after each command; AI takes care of the repetitive editing tasks while you maintain frame-level control.
Open the transcript and the AI automatically flags filler words, pauses, and silences. Delete them in the text and the matching footage is trimmed, turning hours of manual scrubbing into just a few minutes of review.
