Agentic video editor

Your footage.
Your direction.
An agentic video editor.

Bring the recording you already made. Tell Cubix what you want to change, let the agent make a first pass and shape the result on the same editable timeline.

For creator videos, conversations and social clips. From an editing brief to an edit you can keep refining.

The editing work between recording and publishing

You know what the video needs. Start there.

The intro takes too long. The useful line is buried in a retake. The captions crowd the frame. An agentic editor lets you start with those observations and turn them into changes to your footage.

01

Describe the outcome

Give the agent an editing goal in ordinary language. Add constraints such as keeping a demonstration, leaving a section untouched or preserving the natural delivery.

02

Get a working draft

Cubix plans supported editing operations and applies them to the project. The draft gives you something to watch and improve, with the footage and edits still on a timeline.

03

Keep your judgment

You decide whether the pacing works and the meaning stays intact. Continue in conversation or make the final adjustments yourself before exporting.

A brief with a purpose

Ask for the change your recording needs.

Start with one focused job. These illustrative requests show how to give the agent enough direction while keeping the edit easy to assess.

Make the opening land

A good explanation can still start too slowly. Ask for a tighter opening while keeping the setup that makes the rest understandable.

“Tighten the opening of this recording. Keep the problem and my first complete explanation. Leave the rest of the video as it is.”
See the editing agent

Clean up the delivery

Remove the waiting between useful lines without turning every breath into a cut. Decide whether the footage needs a light cleanup or a broader finishing pass.

“Shorten long gaps between sentences. Keep deliberate pauses after questions, complete words and the current framing.”
Explore silence removal

Make the words readable

Add captions that support your delivery. Keep the style restrained for an explanation or make key phrases more prominent for a short social edit.

“Add readable captions to this recording. Use a clean style and keep the text clear of the speaker’s face.”
Explore captions

Give a clip its own frame

A landscape recording needs more than a new canvas size. Choose the passage, reframe the subject and check that on-screen details still make sense.

“Reframe this selected clip for vertical viewing. Keep the speaker visible and leave space for the captions.”
Explore reframing

Beyond the chat response

The result is an edit you can work with.

The conversation gives the direction. The timeline holds the work. Inspect the changed clips, restyle a caption or adjust a crop without starting the recording over.

  • Clips and joins: inspect where material was shortened or retained.
  • Caption text and timing: correct names, numbers and delivery.
  • Framing and emphasis: keep the important subject and details visible.
  • Audio and finish: adjust available controls and check the full playback.

Choose the job, then the workflow

Built around videos people actually record.

The right first pass depends on the source. Keep a full explanation coherent, preserve the rhythm of a conversation or give a short clip enough context to stand on its own.

Shape a walkthrough

From the upload to the final file

A complete edit, one clear pass at a time.

  1. 01

    Bring the recording

    Upload the source in the desktop editor. If there are several files, identify the one you want edited. Start with one deliverable: the full video, a finishing pass or short clips.

  2. 02

    Describe a useful first pass

    Say what should change and what should stay. “Shorten the gaps, keep the explanation and add clean captions” gives the draft a clear direction without prescribing every cut.

  3. 03

    Watch the actual edit

    Play the changed timeline with sound. Listen at joins, read the captions and inspect the crop. Decide whether the draft feels like your recording, with a stronger delivery.

  4. 04

    Refine, then export

    Correct one passage in conversation or adjust the timeline directly. Play the complete edit, export with the settings available to your plan and check the downloaded file.

Give the edit a clear direction

A useful brief says what changes—and what stays.

Name the recording, the intended viewer and the kind of finish you want. Include the parts that carry the meaning, even if you want the rest tightened.

Goal
A clear explanation, a complete episode or a short social cut.
Scope
The whole recording, the opening or one selected passage.
Constraints
Keep the key example, complete words and an intentional pause.
Finish
Natural or energetic delivery, readable captions and the required frame ratio.

Example brief · adapt it to your recording

“Edit this creator recording for a clear, natural explanation. Shorten long gaps and repeated setup. Keep complete sentences, intentional pauses and the final call to action. Add readable captions. Keep the current aspect ratio and use a restrained finish.”

For several uploads, add the file name. For a specific passage, add a quoted line or a current timeline timestamp.

The first pass is a starting point

Keep refining the same edit.

Give a focused follow-up

Point to the passage that needs work and describe the correction. A specific request is easier to review than asking for the whole video to be “better.” Watch the updated playback to confirm the scope.

“The pause after the question feels rushed. Restore a little breathing room there. Keep the caption style and the rest of the sequence.”

Make the final adjustment yourself

When you already know the exact change, use the timeline. Adjust a clip boundary, rewrite a caption or change its placement. Use the appropriate undo control when you want to reverse an applied change.

  • Listen before and after a cut, including complete consonants.
  • Check that the retained sentence still means the same thing.
  • Look at caption placement and crop together.
  • Review the full export after finishing the details.

Choose how to direct the edit

Instructions, transcripts or individual tools?

An agentic editor is useful when you can describe the outcome and want several editing actions coordinated. A precise manual adjustment can still be the quickest way to finish a detail.

Agentic editing

Start with a brief. Ask Cubix to make supported changes, inspect the draft and give a focused follow-up.

Useful for: A first pass across pacing, captions and presentation.

Transcript editing

Start with the spoken text. Select passages or change the speech sequence through the transcript tools in your chosen editor.

Useful for: A speech edit where the words are the main guide.

Individual editing tools

Start with a known adjustment. Work directly on the timeline or run one task such as captions, silence removal or reframing.

Useful for: A specific correction or finishing detail.

Compare the editing models in detail

Choose the right starting point

Bring usable footage. Pick the pass that fits.

Use Ask Cubix when you want to steer the edit through a brief. Choose Creator Polish for a camera-facing finishing pass, or Social Clips for short candidates from a longer recording. Use a single editing tool when only one thing needs changing.

  • Keep the important speech and visuals understandable in the source.
  • Use a desktop or laptop for the full editor and export workflow.
  • Check current credits, storage and export settings before a large project.

Agentic video editing, explained.

An agentic video editor interprets an editing request, plans supported operations and applies them to your existing footage. In Cubix, the result stays on an editable timeline, where you can review cuts, captions and framing and continue with a follow-up or manual edit.

Transcript editing lets you make speech edits by selecting or changing text. Agentic editing starts with a brief and can coordinate several supported editing operations. The approaches can overlap; the useful distinction is how you direct the work and inspect the result.

You can describe the change in ordinary language: shorten an intro, keep a complete explanation or add readable captions. Name the recording and the important constraints. A timestamp or quoted line can help when you need to identify one particular passage.

Start with a recording you already have, such as a creator video, podcast, interview or screen recording. Choose the full-video workflow or a focused job such as Creator Polish or Social Clips. Make sure the speech and visuals you want to keep are usable in the source.

Yes. The project remains editable. Adjust clips, caption text, timing, framing or audio controls on the timeline, or ask Cubix for a focused revision. Check the updated playback after a follow-up so you can assess its actual scope.

The workflow on this page edits recorded footage you bring to Cubix. Your source provides the speech, scenes and story. Describe how that recording should change, then inspect the edited project before exporting.

Use a desktop or laptop browser for the full Cubix editor. The pricing page lists current credits, storage, export resolution and subscription terms. Review the downloaded file before publishing it.
