FROM FIRST CUT TO FINAL POLISH

AI video editing, with you in control.

Multicam editing with two camera angles

Add a second recording of the same talk and choose your main camera. The editor lines up shared audio and suggests angle changes. Review each shot before exporting with continuous audio from your main recording.

Stock B-roll and your own clips

Search Pexels stock videos or upload your own footage to illustrate a segment while your narration continues. Let AI suggest relevant B-roll, then preview, replace, or remove each clip before exporting.

Automatic silence and retake removal

Start with a transcript and a first cut that trims silence, clear repeated takes, and hesitations such as “um” and “uh” in English speech. Set the padding before and after speech, then review what stays.

Edit video from the transcript

Click a phrase to play it. Remove or restore speech, split sections, and adjust cuts on a waveform timeline. Undo and redo let you change your mind.

Review unclear audio

Speech that still cannot be recognized after recovery is marked as removed. Use Hear original to listen, then Restore audio to keep it when needed.

Tracked cursors and marked zooms

Record with the OBS add-on to include mouse movements, click highlights, and zoom markers. Choose from eight mouse styles, including a pointer hand, focus ring, crosshair, and neon arrow, adjust the size, and preview zooms with smooth motion or soft blur.

Nine subtitle styles with a live preview

Burn captions into your video with clean, bold, word highlight, dark box, karaoke, yellow pop, editorial, neon, or soft box styles. Choose the lower third or center, preview the result, and keep separate SRT and VTT files too.

Custom video backgrounds

Frame your recording with a gradient, a moving background, or a solid color. Upload your own image or looping video and adjust the space around the recording.

Noise reduction and balanced volume

Reduce background noise and Balance volume start enabled; you can turn either off before export. These controls process audio in the exported video. Listen to the finished MP4 to review the processed audio.

Saved edits and faster review

Cuts and settings save to your account within the 24-hour project window. Follow playback in the transcript and timeline, change review speed, jump between phrases, or loop a cut to check the join.

MP4, captions, and publishing copy

Export a 1080p MP4 and a thumbnail, plus SRT and VTT captions. Get editable YouTube title suggestions, a description, hashtags, and tags based on your kept footage.

UPLOAD. REVIEW. EXPORT.

How to edit your video with AI.

  1. 01

    Upload one or two recordings.

    Sign in and choose an MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, or OBS .wfrec file. Start with suggested silence and retake cuts for one recording, or add a second camera to sync two angles of the same talk.

  2. 02

    Review and style the edit.

    Check the transcript, waveform, and camera shots. Add stock or uploaded B-roll, choose your subtitle style and background, and preview the edit. OBS recordings can also include tracked cursors and marked zooms.

  3. 03

    Download and publish.

    Export when you’re happy with the edit. Review the suggested publishing copy and download your MP4 or the complete kit. Upload the files to your own channel.

YOUR YOUTUBE UPLOAD, PREPARED

More than a finished MP4.

AI Video Editor FAQs.

Can I edit two camera angles together?

Yes. Choose your first video, select Add second camera, and choose which is your main camera. Each video can be up to 2 GB and 60 minutes. The editor uses shared audio to line up the recordings and favors the main camera, with occasional switches to the second angle. Your main recording supplies the audio and determines the video length. Review or change shots before exporting. If alignment is uncertain, confirm or adjust it first. This mode preserves the full talk and does not automatically follow different speakers.

Can I add stock B-roll or upload my own clips?

Yes. Select a kept timeline segment and add a Pexels stock video or upload an MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM clip up to 100 MB and 2 minutes long. The clip appears over that part of your recording while your original audio continues. You can preview, replace, or remove it. Automatic B-roll can suggest relevant stock footage when you prepare the edit or later from the B-roll section. Stock search and automatic suggestions depend on availability; you can still upload your own footage.

Can I add styled subtitles to my video?

Yes. Enable Burn into video under Appearance to export visible captions in one of nine styles, including word highlight, karaoke, editorial, and neon. Choose the lower third or center and check the live preview. The publishing kit also includes separate SRT and VTT caption files timed to your edited video.

How much does AI Video Editor cost?

Each creation costs 2 credits. Your account receives 40 free credits each day, resetting at midnight UTC. Sign in and verify your email to edit recordings up to 60 minutes and 2 GB. The creation charge includes edits and re-exports within the project’s 24-hour window. Failed uploads use no credits. Processing limits apply.

What does the AI remove automatically?

The first pass transcribes your recording and removes silence, clear retakes, and verbal hesitations such as “um” and “uh” in English speech. Audio that remains unrecognized after recovery is also marked as removed. AI can make mistakes: review the transcript and timeline, listen to the original where needed, and restore anything you want to keep.

Can I upload an existing recording without OBS?

Yes. Upload an MP4, MOV, MKV, or WebM recording for transcription, cut review, backgrounds, audio processing, and export. Custom tracked cursors and marked zooms require tracking data from a .wfrec recording package; the editor cannot reconstruct mouse movements from an ordinary video.

How do I record mouse movements and zooms with OBS?

Download the OBS script from the editor. In OBS, open Tools → Scripts → + and add it, then record a Display Capture source. Point at what matters and press Ctrl+Alt+Z to mark a zoom; press again to zoom out. Change the shortcut in Settings → Hotkeys → AI Video: Toggle zoom. Keep OBS open after stopping until the recording folder opens, then upload the .wfrec file saved beside your video.

Does mouse tracking work with Window or Game Capture?

Use Display Capture for the add-on’s mouse tracking and zoom markers. Window and Game Capture can record ordinary video, but tracked cursors for those sources and pointer-locked game aiming are not supported.

Can I use the recorder on Linux?

The same OBS script download includes Linux X11 mouse tracking. In OBS, choose Screen Capture (XSHM), select a monitor, and use Check setup in the script. Ctrl+Alt+Z marks a zoom. Wayland desktops are not supported by the tracking add-on yet. You can still upload ordinary recordings to the browser editor.

Can I edit on a Mac?

The editor runs in a modern web browser and accepts existing video files. The OBS add-on also includes a Mac implementation: select a full display in Screen Capture, enable Allow mouse tracking, grant OBS Input Monitoring permission, and restart OBS. Its zoom shortcut is Control+Option+Z. Windows recording has been tested in OBS; the Mac recording workflow still needs validation on a real Mac.

Can I use my own background image or video?

Yes. Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, or an MP4, WebM, or MOV background video, up to 25 MB. Background videos can be up to 30 seconds long and loop behind your recording. Built-in still and moving backgrounds and a solid-color option are also available.

What is included in the YouTube publishing kit?

The downloadable ZIP contains your finished MP4, a thumbnail, publishing text, metadata, and SRT/VTT caption files. Publishing suggestions include a recommended title, three alternative titles, a description, hashtags, and tags. Review and edit the copy before publishing. SRT and VTT files are included separately. To make captions visible in the MP4, enable Burn into video under Appearance and choose your subtitle style and position. If publishing suggestions are unavailable, you can still download the video and add your own copy.

Does the editor upload directly to YouTube?

No. Download the files and upload them to your own YouTube channel. You control the title, thumbnail, captions, visibility, and publishing time.

How long are my recordings and edits saved?

Projects, saved edits, transcripts, and hosted files expire 24 hours after upload begins. Saving, exporting, and retrying do not extend this deadline. Download your video and publishing kit before the project expires; files already downloaded to your device remain yours to keep.

How do I get help or report a problem?

Use Help & feedback inside the editor to ask for help, report a problem, or request a feature. Your account and current project are included so Wes can look into it.

Download what you want to keep within 24 hours of starting an upload. Read the privacy policy and terms of use for more details.
