Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.

AI-native creative suite for cinematic video and images
Generate short cinematic clips from prompts, photos or reference footage using frontier video models hosted in one place.
Direct camera moves, motion transfer and physics-style effects to get deliberate, cinematic results rather than random generation.
Cinema Studio, Ads Studio, Marketing Studio, Shorts Studio and Lipsync Studio package production-ready pipelines for common output types.
Upload one video and recast its motion with your own characters, locations and products, or swap elements while keeping the rest intact.
