Edit Video by Chatting With AI
No timeline. No tracks, no keyframes, no dragging clip edges. You upload footage, type what you want changed, and an AI agent performs the edit and shows you a preview — then you react to it the same way you would react to an editor who just sent you a cut.
Below is a representative exchange, corrections and all, ending in a downloadable file.

Cut all the dead air and the ums out of this.
Removed 47 silences and 31 filler words, all snapped to word boundaries. Your 12:04 recording is now 9:18. Preview below — the pacing through the middle section is much tighter, though the pause before your closing line got cut and it might have been deliberate.
Yeah, put that pause back. And add captions.
Restored the 1.4s pause before "and that's really the whole point". Added word-accurate captions in the podcast preset — white text, bottom third, four words a line.
Captions are too small and I want the key words highlighted.
Bumped the captions to large and turned on per-word emphasis with a yellow highlight. Restyled in place, so the timing is untouched.
Put some chill music under it, quiet, and make it feel a bit more energetic overall.
Added a chill track at bed level with ducking, so it drops under your voice and comes back in the gaps. For the energy: punch-ins on your eight most emphasized words, and the cuts now use a whip transition at the three real scene changes — not at every jump cut, since those are inside one continuous take and are meant to be invisible.
Make it vertical for Reels and export it.
Reframed to 9:16 — sampled frames across the edit and aimed the crop at where you actually are rather than the centre. Captions rescaled to the new frame. Exporting from your original file at source quality now; I will hand you the download link when it lands.
Illustrative of the interaction and the kind of detail the agent reports back; your footage and its numbers will differ.
Why the Corrections Are the Point
Notice what happens in the second turn above: a pause gets restored without disturbing the other forty-six cuts. In a timeline, changing your mind about one decision made three steps ago is expensive — you scrub, you find it, you hope nothing downstream has shifted. Here it costs one sentence, because the agent edits a decision list rather than pixels and every operation is a reversible version.
That is what makes conversational editing viable rather than merely novel. The interaction is only pleasant if being wrong is cheap.
How to Edit a Video by Chatting
- 1Upload and let it read the footageUp to 14GB or 3 hours. A one-time analysis produces a word-level transcript, the silences, the shot boundaries and descriptions of what is on screen, with visible progress. Every later edit reuses it.
- 2Say what you want, in your own words"Cut the boring parts and add captions" is enough. You can stack several dependent requests into one sentence — the agent sequences them itself.
- 3React to the previewWatch what comes back and correct it conversationally: "put that pause back", "bigger captions", "quieter music". Then ask it to export, and download a source-quality MP4.
A long upload takes a while to analyze and shows progress throughout; after that first pass, edits are conversational.
Or Chat in an Assistant You Already Use
The same engine is published over the Model Context Protocol, so you can have this conversation inside Claude instead — the model in your session picks the tools, Valmera performs the edit, and you get the same downloadable file. Setup is one paste and one sign-in.
