Tell the Assistant what to do in your own words

Applies to 0.11Updated 4 Nov 20262 min read

In AI Edit › Assistant you type what you want in your own words. The Assistant shows one plan, then does each step with a progress line, and one Undo takes it all back.

The Assistant carries out an instruction you type in your own words, in English or Russian. It is not limited to the ready presets.

Open it

Choose AI Edit › Assistant, type the instruction and press Return.

How it works

1. The Assistant names the tools it will use and shows one plan.
2. It does each step with a progress line, for example "Correcting the colour: clip 2 of 3…" or "Exporting: 45 %".
3. Undo AI Edit takes the whole instruction back as one step.

What you can ask

• Your words as a graphic: "Put this text over the video on an empty track: Made with VLPremiere Pro". Your exact words go into a professional title template on a free video track, at the playhead, or "at the start", "at the end" or "for the whole video".
• A video from a bin: "Make a 30 s energetic music video from the Gym bin". This runs Auto Edit from Footage on that bin's clips and makes a new timeline. Add your own lines to it with your text over the video.
• Split screens: "Put the selected clips side by side", "picture in picture" or "grid of four".
• Colour: "Colour-correct all clips" corrects each clip in turn.
• Looks: "Film grain and sepia", "black and white" or "vintage film look", on all clips or the selected ones.
• Transitions: "Cross dissolves between all clips, half a second".
• Sound: "Polish the sound" enhances the voice, lowers the music under it and levels everything to −14 LUFS.
• Versions: "Make vertical and square versions and export them" reframes copies and exports each.
• Export: end with "… then export" for a Quick Export with progress.
• Several at once: "Colour correction, transitions and film grain, then export" runs as one plan, step by step.

Presets

• Ready instructions › One click — runs at once: ready jobs that start as soon as you click them.
• My presets: Save as Preset… keeps any instruction under your own name. Remove a preset takes one away.

Good to know

• The built-in AI runs on your Mac; nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose another AI service.
• If the Assistant cannot do something you asked, it says what it can do instead.
