Editing

Say the edit, watch it happen

Describe the change in a sentence. The editor reads your footage, makes the cut, and shows you what it did.

How it decides

It reads before it cuts

Your prompt goes in alongside the transcript and real frames from the video, so 'cut the boring part' resolves against what's actually on screen rather than a guess about where boring parts usually are.

It checks its own work

After making the edit it renders frames from the result and looks at them. If the cut landed mid-word or a caption collided with a face, it fixes it before handing back.

Every edit is reversible

Each turn writes a checkpoint. Undo goes back a step, and the history panel lets you return to any earlier state of the project — including branching from it.

What you control

Things you can type. The editor answers to language, not menus.

  • cut the dead air and the filler words
  • find the three best moments and make them into shorts
  • punch in slightly whenever I make a point
  • take out everything before the intro music

What it won't do

  • It won't generate footage you didn't shoot. Every frame in the output came from your upload.
  • It won't ship an edit it couldn't verify — if the check fails, it tells you rather than quietly handing back a broken cut.
