The AI Editing Agent that edits your short when you ask

Type what you want in the editor's AI Agent panel. It cuts sentences, adds a 3-second hook, changes the caption look or framing in one go — then rescores the short so you can see the difference.

How to edit a short with the AI Agent in 3 steps

  1. 01. Open the AI Agent panel

    Click AI Agent on the editor's rail to see quick actions. Check the score shows this short's score and its weak spots, like the first 3 seconds or the payoff.

  2. 02. Ask in plain words

    Ask something like "make the first 3 seconds stronger and cut the part that drags" and it cuts lines, moves the start and adds a hook in one go. What it did is listed, and undo is one click.

  3. 03. Compare the score

    The edited short is scored again, with the old and new score side by side. Don't like it? One click on Undo puts everything back.

One sentence, many edits

Almost anything you'd do by hand in the editor works in words: title and hook, caption look, translation and typos, cutting lines and fitting a length, framing and speaker focus, transitions, stickers, sound effects and music. Everything one request did is a single change, so undo is one click.

The score before and after, side by side

The agent edits with the short's score and weak spots in view, then scores it again. Bars for the first 3 seconds, standalone, payoff and energy show exactly what got better.

It learns your taste as you go

Every time you polish and export a short it learns your habits — length, caption look, progress bar — and it remembers requests like "never add emojis from now on". After about five shorts, pick My agent on a new video and shorts come out your way from the start. The Edit agent page in the sidebar adds Instructions, Memory and Context, where you can teach it with your own shorts or long videos.

Why Shorts Zone

  • Never cut mid-sentence

    Every short starts and ends on a sentence boundary, so nothing stops halfway through a thought.

  • A virality score for every short

    A 0–100 score, a first-3-seconds check and one honest note make it easy to pick what to post.

  • Your video stays on your device

    Cutting, captions and rendering all run in your browser. Only transcript text is sent to the AI.

  • Paste a YouTube link

    The Shorts Zone Link helper downloads it on your own computer. Drive and Dropbox links and files work too.

  • Korean, English, Japanese, Dutch, Italian and Traditional Chinese

    Transcribe and caption in all six languages. From Pro, translate captions into any of the other five.

  • Follows whoever is talking

    Going from 16:9 to 9:16 keeps the speaker centered, and splits the screen for two or three people.

  • Long videos welcome

    Up to 30 minutes free, 60 on Lite, and no length limit from Pro.

  • Free to start

    3 videos per account for free. Lite ($4.9/month) adds watermark-free 1080p.

Frequently asked questions

Which plans include it?

Pro, MAX and Ultra. Requests use your plan's monthly tokens; quick actions that apply instantly, like turning on captions or adding a progress bar, don't use any.

Can I undo what the agent changed?

Yes. What each request did is listed in the chat, and the Undo button under it puts everything back at once. The editor's undo (⌘Z) works too.

What can I ask for?

Most things you'd do in the editor: "under 30 seconds", "fix the first 3 seconds", "translate the captions", "add my logo", "write a caption and hashtags for posting". When something needs a file, like a logo, it shows an upload button.

How does it learn my taste?

It learns length, caption look and elements every time you polish and export a short, and remembers requests that start with "from now on…" or "always…". See or remove what it remembered in the My taste card in the AI Agent panel.

Is my video sent to the AI?

No. The agent only receives the short's transcript text and current settings. Cutting and rendering happen on your device.
