AI Video Editor

Upload any video, tell the AI what you want changed, and watch it happen. This is an AI video editor built for people who already know how to cut a video, it just handles the boring parts for you. Ask it to trim the fat, add captions, or drop in a track, and it edits any video with AI in the time it takes to type the sentence. Then the timeline is yours to finish however you want.

The problem

Editing eats your whole week.

Here's the actual cost of editing manually:

  • A 60-minute recording takes four to eight hours to cut properly
  • CapCut and Premiere keep you trimming, aligning, and re-trimming one frame at a time
  • Great takes never get posted because editing turns into a second job nobody signed up for
  • Finish once, then do it all again to fit four different platforms
Most AI editorsThis one
Handle a basic command or twoRun a full edit off one plain sentence
Edit one clip at a timeCut, caption, and score music in one pass
Give you a result you can't easily reopenLeave a real timeline you can still fine-tune by hand

You're not handing off control, you're skipping the hour you'd have spent doing the same thing manually.

How you drive it

Edit videos by talking to an AI.

Type what you want changed and it happens. This is an AI video editor with prompt at the center of the workflow instead of a timeline you have to learn first.

01 / Control

AI video editing that keeps you in control

After the first pass, you're looking at a normal timeline, not a locked result. That's the point of AI video editing done this way: the AI gets you most of the way there, and you finish it exactly how you want.

Still yours to change, any time:

  • Move a cut point half a second
  • Swap a caption style mid-video
  • Pull a track's volume down in one section, not another
  • Reopen and restyle anything the AI touched

This is built for people who already edit, not people who've never touched a timeline. Want more precision than the first pass gives you? Everything is one click away. The AI does the repetitive eighty percent. You keep the twenty percent that needs a human eye.

02 / Captions

Add captions to any video with AI

Captions come out synced to the word, not the sentence, landing exactly on the beat the way a human captioner would time them. That's what makes this an AI caption generator worth using on its own.

  • Ready-made styles for a fast turnaround
  • Fully custom styles, built from font, color, size, and animation
  • Saved automatically, so you're not rebuilding the same look every time you add captions

Most tools treat captions as an afterthought, a checkbox before exporting. Here it's a full feature, because for a lot of creators, captions are the difference between a video watched with the sound off and one that gets scrolled past.

03 / Restyle

Restyle and transform any clip with presets

Sometimes the edit is right and the look isn't. That's the job of the built-in video changer: swap the mood of a clip without touching grading settings by hand.

  • Turn a flat, daylight-shot clip warmer and more cinematic
  • Match the grade across footage shot on three different phones
  • Push a talking-head clip toward a specific look without re-shooting it

One preset, one click, and the clip is ready to sit next to the rest of the project.

Capabilities

One agentic editor, every tool.

Dead air, gone.

Silences, “ums,” and long pauses are removed automatically, tightening pacing the way a real editor would.

Edit by editing the transcript.

Delete a line and it disappears from the clip. Highlight one and ask for b-roll there.

Music that lands on the beat.

Auto-selected, auto-timed, and ducked under your voice.

Every aspect ratio, one export.

A video aspect ratio converter built in, so 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, and 4:5 all come from the same edit, auto-reframed to keep the subject in shot.

Bento layouts.

Split screens, picture-in-picture, and grid compositions in one click.

Generate what's missing.

Need a shot you didn't film? Generate the image, video, or music clip inside the editor.

Long video, short clips.

Drop in a podcast or stream and get back a stack of ready-to-post clips, captioned and reframed.

AI b-roll placed for you.

It reads the transcript and drops relevant b-roll where the story calls for it.

Your brand kit, every time.

Colors, fonts, logo, and caption style, saved once, applied everywhere.

Post straight from the editor.

Export or publish directly to TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

That's the core idea: describe the change in words, and the editor handles the mechanical part.

How it works

How to edit a video with AI in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Upload any video.

    Upload any video, any length, in whatever format you already have it in.

    Any lengthMP4 · MOV · WEBM
  2. 2

    Tell the agent what to change.

    Cut the slow parts, add captions, drop in music, generate a missing shot.

    CutCaptionMusicGenerate
  3. 3

    Export or publish.

    Export or publish, straight to the platform you're posting on.

    TikTokReelsYouTube Shorts

No timeline required before you start, though it's waiting the moment you want to take over.

Every platform

One video, every platform.

Acting as a video aspect ratio converter across every platform at once, one pass gives you:

  • 9:16

    Reels, TikTok, Shorts

  • 16:9

    YouTube

  • 1:1

    Feed posts (square)

  • 4:5

    Feed posts (portrait)

Auto-reframing keeps the subject in shot no matter the crop. If you already repurpose video for social across multiple platforms, this is where the hours actually add up, exporting, reframing, and re-checking four versions now happens in the same pass as the original edit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is an AI video editor?

An AI video editor is software that edits video from plain-language instructions instead of manual timeline work, cutting footage, adding captions, and selecting music based on what you type or say. This kind of AI video editing skips the dragging and trimming a normal editor still requires, leaving a regular timeline behind for you to refine further.

Is there an AI that can edit my video?

Yes. Upload any video and describe the changes in plain language, cuts, captions, music, whatever the edit calls for, and the AI applies them directly to the footage.

Can I upload my own video?

Yes, in common formats including MP4, MOV, and WEBM. Everything from that point on works the same way, whether it's a fifteen-second clip or a full-length recording.

Is there a free AI video editor option?

Yes, you can start editing without paying anything. Paid tiers unlock longer exports and additional features once you outgrow the free plan.

What is the best free AI video editor for creators posting daily?

Depends on your workflow, but for a daily-posting routine, look for one that's actually free to start, not gated behind a trial, and fast enough to keep up with same-day turnaround. This one qualifies on both counts.

Can ChatGPT edit videos?

Not on its own. ChatGPT can help you plan an edit or write a script, but actually cutting footage, adding captions, and exporting requires a dedicated video editor like this one.

How do I add captions with AI?

To add captions, upload the clip and ask for them. They generate automatically, word by word, synced to your speech, in a style you can customize or leave as the default.

Does it work with long recordings, like a full podcast episode?

Yes. Drop in an hour of raw footage and it comes back as a stack of shorter, captioned clips ready to post, instead of one long file you still have to cut down yourself.
