Let AI do the editing, keep your own style
One long video, many shorts
Paste a link or drop a file and get 15–60 second shorts that never cut mid-sentence, ranked by score. A 30-minute video gives about 9.
An agent that edits for you
Say "make the first 3 seconds stronger" or "keep it under 30 seconds" and the agent fixes cuts, captions, titles and framing in one go, then re-scores the short. One click undoes it.
An agent that edits in your style
It learns length, caption look and habits from the shorts you polish and export, and remembers what you tell it ("from now on…"). After about five, new videos come out your way from the start.
Clone a template from any short
Drop a short or a screenshot you want to copy. It redraws the captions to match font, size, outline and color, and from a video it learns the caption motion too.
Show a video, get its editing style
Show the agent a short or long video you love. It learns the cut pace (cuts per minute), length, hook and use of music, and edits your next videos that way.
Framing that follows the speaker
Going from 16:9 to 9:16 keeps whoever is talking in the center, and splits the screen when two or three people go back and forth. You can move it by hand per scene.
Pick winners by virality score
Every short gets a 0–100 score, a first-3-seconds check and one honest note, so you know what to post first.
