AI Video Editing for Agencies

Every client wants video now — and every video used to cost editor hours you bill or eat. Valmera turns client edits into standing requests you reuse per project, so output scales without new hires.

The Agency Video Squeeze

Every client wants weekly video
Editor hours cap deliverables
Freelance edits eat margin
Revision rounds burn days
Caption styles drift between edits
Every post needs 3-4 ratios

With an agentic editor, the unit of work changes: not editor-hours per deliverable, but a written request per deliverable. Requests parallelize; editor-hours don't. The complete guide to AI video editing covers how the agent workflow differs from timeline tools.

The Agency Workflow

The repeatable unit is a standing request: a short brief you keep as text and paste at the start of every project for that client. Everything in it comes from controls the agent actually has — caption color, size, position, font, and animation (12 bundled fonts), 6 color-grade presets plus custom grades, corner logo overlays, silence and filler-word removal, and the client's own music with automatic ducking.

1

Write each client's standing request

Pacing, caption style (color, size, position, font, animation), color grade, logo placement, which ratios to deliver — one paragraph of plain English you reuse every project.

2

Drop in shoot footage

Raw files from the shoot or the client's phone — main videos up to 2GB (MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM), the client's music track up to 50MB.

3

Paste the request, review the preview

The agent applies the brief and renders a preview. The honesty layer checks every reply against what was actually done — the agent can't claim an edit it didn't make.

4

Turn client notes into messages

Each revision note becomes one follow-up message. Same-day revision rounds become normal.

5

Deliver every format

16:9 hero cut, 9:16 Reels, 1:1 and 4:5 feed versions — reframed from the same edit. Final exports render from the original full-quality file.

What Valmera doesn't do, said plainly: there's no stored brand kit or asset library (the client's logo and music are re-uploaded per project), no custom font uploads (you choose among the 12 bundled fonts), and no team seats — one account, one user. What it now does cover: logo overlays (a corner logo or full-frame cover, positioned and sized by request) and custom color grades layered on the 6 presets. Consistency comes from the request text, not a saved workspace. Reframing is directed by you — see the reframing guide — not by automatic subject tracking.

Requests Agencies Actually Send

Client social package
This is a promo shoot for our fitness-studio client. Cut it to a 60-second hero video: remove silences and filler words, keep the owner's three strongest lines, add captions — white, size L, bottom, pop animation — put the attached music track under it, ducked below the speech, and keep the client's logo small in the top-right corner. Warm color grade.
Platform versions
Reframe the finished cut to 9:16 for Reels with a blurred-pad background, keeping the speaker centered in the crop. Then make a 1:1 version for the feed with the same captions.
Revision round
Client notes on v1: make the captions yellow and one size smaller, cut the section from 2:10 to 2:45, blur the phone number on the whiteboard around 3:05, and end on the storefront shot.

What Volume Costs

For multi-client volume, Pro at $50/month with 2,400 monthly credits is the plan built for it; Plus at $20/month with 800 credits fits a lighter schedule, and the free tier — 20 credits per day plus a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus — is enough to run a real client edit before paying anything. Credits are charged in proportion to the actual AI work in each turn, so a quick caption tweak costs a few credits while a full first cut costs more. Plan details are on the pricing page, and how credits work explains the mechanics.

Scale Deliverables, Not Payroll

Requests parallelize. Editor-hours don't. Free tier — 20 daily credits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each client gets a standing request — a short plain-English brief you keep as text and paste at the start of every project: pacing, caption color, size and position, color grade, which platform ratios to deliver. Raw footage goes in, the agent applies the request, and your team reviews the preview instead of editing a timeline. Revision rounds are follow-up messages, not re-edit sessions.
Yes, for everything the request can specify: caption style (any color, sizes from S to XL on a continuous scale, bottom/middle/top placement, karaoke word-pop, nine entrance animations, one of 12 bundled fonts), a corner logo overlay from the client's logo file, the 6 color-grade presets plus custom grades (exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint), the client's own music track with automatic ducking under speech, and the same platform ratios every time. To be clear about what Valmera does not have: there are no stored brand kits, no custom font uploads, and no team seats — assets live per project, so consistency comes from reusing the same request text and re-uploading the client's logo and music each project.
Client notes map one-to-one to chat messages: "make the captions yellow", "cut 2:10 to 2:45", "warmer color grade", "blur the phone number at 3:05". Each note becomes one follow-up, the agent re-renders the preview, and Valmera's honesty layer checks every reply against what the system actually did — the agent cannot claim a change it did not make, which matters when you are reporting back to a client.
Yes — every deliverable can be reframed to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 using crop, pad, or a blurred-pad background, from the same edit. Valmera does not auto-track subjects, so you direct the framing in the request ("keep the speaker on the left of the crop") and adjust with a follow-up if a crop lands wrong. Final exports render from the original full-quality file, not the preview proxy.
The free tier (20 credits per day plus a one-time 150-credit welcome bonus) is enough to trial a real client edit. For volume, Plus is $20/month with 800 monthly credits and Pro is $50/month with 2,400 monthly credits. Edits charge credits in proportion to the actual AI work in the turn — a simple revision is a few credits. One honest limitation: accounts are single-user; there are no team seats or shared workspaces.
