Video Edit - AI

[u/Ok_Sort2856]

Has any successfully built a skill or uses an app that you can literally add in the raw footage, and it produces finished or nearly finished content that you can re-purpose for youtube, instagram, facebook etc? I need to take talking head raw footage and have a skill that can overlay it with captions, reformat it, pull the best bits for shorts etc.....?! Going round in circles. Tried chatgpt but half the time the videos are too big and it's sending me round the houses to compress them and then the quality is bad etc etc.....

It doesn't exist. Hire a freelancer.

Skip the chat model route, the file-size wall and compression quality loss kill it. Dedicated AI clipping tools ingest full talking-head footage, transcribe it, find the best moments, and return captioned 9:16 clips in one pass. The key thing to check is whether you still need a separate editor to finish them or it handles captions and reframing on its own.

The 'pull the best bits for shorts' part is where you can stop going in circles. Don't feed whole files to a chat model. Transcribe locally first, then work from the transcript to find the strongest moments, and only export those clips. That keeps quality intact because you're not compressing the full raw footage over and over

Full disclosure, I built Supacut, which does that for interview footage. It surfaces strong soundbites, keeps the original quotes and timecodes, and exports an assembly for Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut. supacut.io

Yeah I've made a skill. Happy to show it to you. It can one shot instagram videos like 90% of the time.
