Frequently asked questions
What can I use as a video reference?
You can upload a reference video directly or paste a YouTube link that the editor can access. Private videos and access-restricted links, including closed Google Drive links, cannot be used.
Can I reference a particular part of a video?
Yes. Include timestamps to show the agent the exact transition, effect, sequence or editing treatment you want it to study.
Can the reference be applied to my entire video?
Yes. You can ask the agent to use the reference as direction for the whole edit or apply it only to a specific moment or sequence.
What does the agent interpret from a reference?
It can interpret shot order, pacing, transitions, effects, typography, animation and sound design. Tell it which elements matter most to your edit.
Can I recreate only a transition or effect?
Yes. Point to the relevant timestamp and tell the agent where you want a similar transition or effect to appear in your project.
Will the result be identical to the reference?
The reference acts as creative direction. The agent recreates the relevant editing choices using your footage, instructions and available project material, so the result follows a similar style while fitting your video.
Can I ask for changes after the edit is created?
Yes. Tell the agent what should be closer to the reference or what you want handled differently, and it can revise the edit based on your feedback.
Is the recreated edit fully editable?
Yes. The result arrives on the timeline, where you can inspect and adjust the clips, cuts, timing, text, animation, effects and audio.
