An AI video editing assistant helps you turn an editing request into changes to your footage. In Cubix, the AI Editing Agent can analyze the recording, plan the work and apply supported edits to the project. You can review the result, ask for another change or continue editing manually.
Start by describing the result you need: a tighter explanation, readable captions, a shorter clip or a different frame. A clear request gives the agent a useful direction and gives you something concrete to review.
How to use an AI video editing assistant in Cubix
1. Add your footage
Open Cubix and add the recording or clips you want to edit. Watch enough of the source to know what must stay: a complete answer, a demonstration, a useful example or an intentional pause.
The request and the footage work together. Tell the agent which result matters, especially when a quiet section shows something important on screen.
2. Describe one clear editing goal
Use normal language and name the part of the video you want changed. You can begin with a focused task and add more finishing work after reviewing the first pass.
For a spoken recording:
Remove the awkward pauses, but keep the pauses after questions and the full answers.
For captions:
Add clean, readable captions. Keep the text clear of my face and the product demonstration.
For the opening:
Tighten the intro. Keep the explanation of what the product does.
Open Cubix, add your footage and enter a request like these. Review what the agent changes before moving on.
3. Review the edits against your goal
Play the affected sections and compare them with the request. Check that the edit preserves the message and that each cut has a useful beginning and ending.
- Listen across sentence joins and changes of topic.
- Check names, numbers and specialist terms in captions.
- Watch the framing through movement and demonstrations.
- Review any supporting visuals for relevance and placement.
Cubix applies supported changes as editable project elements. Reviewing the result is easier when the request is specific enough to judge.
4. Refine in conversation or on the timeline
Describe the next change using what you can see or hear in the result:
Use fewer punch-ins and keep the framing wider during the demonstration.
Make the captions smaller and keep the emphasis subtle.
Restore the pause before the final answer.
You can also undo an edit or adjust the project manually. Make one focused correction at a time when several things need changing, then play that section again.
5. Check the finished video and export
Play the full video after the individual sections look right. Check the opening, transitions, captions and ending in the version you intend to publish.
Creator supports video exports up to 1080p; Pro supports up to 4K. See current plans when choosing your export resolution.
Choose a workflow when the task is already clear
The conversational agent is useful for describing an edit or refining an existing one. Cubix also has dedicated workflows for common jobs:
- Remove Silences for dead air and pauses in spoken footage.
- Auto Captions for generating editable caption text, timing and styling.
- Make Clips for standalone clips from a longer recording.
- Creator Polish for talking-head finishing with pacing, captions and punch-ins.
- Beat Edits for sequencing shots around a music track.

Common mistakes when asking AI to edit a video
Giving a broad request without a goal. Explain what should improve and what must stay. “Tighten the explanation while keeping the example” is easier to review than “make it better.”
Changing several directions before reviewing the result. Watch the first pass, then request the next change based on the actual footage.
Treating every quiet section as dead air. A screen demonstration or a pause before an answer may serve the video. Name those sections when requesting pacing changes.
Publishing without a final playback. Check the message, joins, captions and frame in the completed version.
Questions about AI video editing assistants
Does Cubix only suggest edits?
The AI Editing Agent can apply supported edits to the project as well as help interpret an editing request. Review the affected sections and refine the result before exporting.
Do I need to know editing terminology?
No. Describe the outcome in ordinary language. Naming the subject, section or part of the result you want changed helps make the request clearer.
Can I keep editing manually?
Yes. The project stays editable, so you can change cuts, caption styling, framing and other supported controls after the agent's pass.
Can I ask the agent to leave part of the video alone?
Yes. Include that instruction in your request, such as keeping the complete product demonstration. Check the affected section afterward to confirm that the result matches your intent.
How long does an AI edit take?
The time depends on the source footage and the work requested. Review the actual result rather than treating a fixed processing time as part of the workflow.
