Simplified Studio

AI video editor: say what to change, and it changes.

Studio makes the video with you, then edits it the way you would brief a person. Send back a single frame or a whole scene, and only that part is made again. There is no timeline.

Editing your own footage?

You see every part before it is final.

How editing works in Studio

Notes, not a timeline.

You edit by reviewing and saying what to change. The earlier you say it, the less there is to redo.

1

Edit the plan first.

Studio writes the plan before it makes anything: scenes, shots and pacing. Changing a line here takes seconds, so this is where most of the editing happens.

2

Approve each layer, or send it back.

Cast and world, then shots, then voice and music. Look at each one and say what is wrong. Only the part you name is made again.

3

Watch the cut, then fix a scene.

The layers come together as a finished video. Open a single scene and redo it without starting over.

Rather give notes than drag clips?

Type the idea and read the plan before anything gets made.

Open Studio
Approve each step, or auto mode

Change your mind while it is still one line.

Most AI video tools hand you a finished clip and a regenerate button. Studio shows its work in order: the plan, the cast, the shots, the voices. You fix things at the step where they are cheapest to fix.

  • Read and edit the plan before a single scene is made
  • Send back a single frame or a whole scene
  • Only the part you name is made again
  • Switch to auto mode when you trust the direction

Video editor FAQs

Including where the timeline editor is.

What is an AI video editor?

It is a video editor where you describe the change you want, and the AI makes it. In Studio there is no timeline: you read the plan, look at the cast and the shots, and say what to redo in plain words.

Can I edit a video I already shot?

Not in Studio. Studio edits the videos it makes. To trim, caption, resize or clip your own footage, use the Simplified video editor, which works on a timeline in your browser.

Open the Simplified video editor

Where did the Simplified video editor go?

Nowhere. It is still part of the Simplified app, with AI subtitles, clip repurposing and the publishing calendar. This page now also covers Studio, which is a separate product for making new video.

Open the Simplified video editor

How do I change something I do not like?

Say which part and what is wrong with it. You can send back a single frame or a whole scene, and only that part is made again.

Do I have to approve every step?

No. With Approve each step you review the plan and then each layer. Auto mode skips the reviews and shows you the finished cut.

Do I need to download any software?

No. Studio and the Simplified video editor both run in your browser.

Can I add subtitles to my video?

For a video you already have, use the AI subtitle generator, which transcribes the audio and times the captions for you.

Go to the subtitle generator

How does pricing work?

Studio is pay as you go. You add funds and pay for what you make, and you see an estimate before anything is generated. The Simplified video editor is part of the Simplified app plans.
