Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI decide what to cut?
The AI transcribes your video, then analyzes the transcript against your topic description. It identifies the most relevant segments, removes dead space (silence, filler words, pauses), and selects content that fits your target duration.
What is an EDL file?
EDL (Edit Decision List) is a standard format used by professional video editors. It contains the in/out points for each edit, which you can import into DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro to continue editing.
Can I adjust the AI's selections?
Yes! After the AI generates the rough cut, you can toggle individual segments on/off, reorder them, and see the rationale behind each selection before rendering or exporting.
What types of videos work best?
Talking-head videos, podcasts, interviews, lectures, and tutorials work best — any content with continuous speech. The AI needs spoken content to analyze and make intelligent cuts.
