Timeline and cutting

Ripple a gap shut, roll an edit point, slip a take inside its clip, razor where the line ends. J-cuts and L-cuts are a drag, not a workaround.

Shorts from the long edit

Highlight finder scores moments worth cutting. Auto reframe keeps the subject inside a 9:16 frame, and safe zones show where the platform's buttons will sit.

Voiceover Studio and on-device AI

Write or paste the script, record the narration and lay it on the timeline. AI Edit runs on your Mac with a model you download once, so there are no cloud usage fees.

Straight answer: AI results vary with your footage and audio. Treat them as a first pass you review, not a finished edit.
