Video editingWORKFLOW WALKTHROUGHExample

EXAMPLE REQUEST

Turn this uploaded interview into a 30-second vertical highlight in 9:16. Focus on the speaker explaining why they started the project, keep the statement in context, and avoid cutting mid-sentence. Use a simple opening title. Show me the edit request for review before rendering. I will check the finished cut before sharing it.

Illustrative edit request

Source: Your uploaded interview, with the original kept available for comparison.
Cut: A concise spoken highlight, target 30 seconds, portrait 9:16.

More example details

Review: Confirm the speaker's meaning, opening title, pacing, crop, and audio after the completed render.
Another version: Where remix is available, review the changed aspect ratio or hook text against the earlier version.

01 / THE WORKFLOW

What can o1 help you do?

o1 AutoEdit works with a video you upload in your signed-in workspace. Describe the intended audience, what the edit should emphasize, the target length, and the aspect ratio. Review the proposed edit before it queues a render, then follow the job's reported steps rather than waiting on an unspecified loading screen.

The editor uses transcript and audio information to plan the cut. This makes the brief especially important for spoken footage. If a moment matters because of something only visible in a silent shot, do not assume o1 can reliably find it. Give explicit guidance and inspect the result before using it.

02 / THE BRIEF

Start with a specific prompt

Use this as a starting point. Replace the example details with your own task and constraints.

YOUR REQUEST
Turn this uploaded interview into a 30-second vertical highlight in 9:16. Focus on the speaker explaining why they started the project, keep the statement in context, and avoid cutting mid-sentence. Use a simple opening title. Show me the edit request for review before rendering. I will check the finished cut before sharing it.

This prompt is an example. Its outcome depends on the tools enabled in your workspace and the information you provide.

03 / GET STARTED

How to use the video editing

01
Attach your source video
Use an MP4, MOV, or WebM between 1 KB and 50 MB. Wait for the upload to finish. If it fails, retry or remove the pending upload before choosing another file.
02
Specify the edit
Describe the story, choose portrait 9:16 or landscape 16:9, and state the target length. Explain what must remain in context and what should be removed.
03
Review the proposed request
Confirm the source and edit options in the approval shown by o1. Approving queues an offline render; it does not immediately produce a finished video.
04
Follow progress and inspect the cut
The job shows reported preparation, selection, cut, render, and delivery status. Open a preview when available. Download only after the job completes successfully and review the result yourself.

04 / YOUR CONTROL

Compare the cut with your original

Preserve the meaning

Listen to the lines around each cut. A shorter statement can change the meaning if the setup or qualification disappears.

Check the crop and audio

Inspect the actual portrait or landscape output. Make sure the important action remains visible and speech is intelligible throughout.

Know which version you are viewing

Check the job and version details before downloading. A remix may change the aspect or opening hook; compare its result with the earlier cut.

05 / CURRENT SCOPE

Know the limits before starting

The public demo shows a workspace preview. It does not upload, analyze, or render your video; live AI requires a verified account.
AutoEdit needs an account, a supported upload, and an available editing worker. Rendering may fail; failed jobs are not finished edits.
Transcript and audio analysis do not guarantee precise selection of silent visual objects or specific shots. Review all outputs, titles, crops, and cuts.

Check the workspace's current availability and account limits before starting a job. Your chat and connected tools may have different capabilities from the public demo.

06 / QUESTIONS

Before your first task

Which video files can I upload?

The workspace accepts MP4, MOV, and WebM video files between 1 KB and 50 MB. Availability also depends on the editing worker and your account's upload limits.

Does AutoEdit generate a new video from a text prompt?

This workflow edits an uploaded source video. The prompt describes how to cut that footage; it is not a claim that AutoEdit generates a new scene from text.

When can I download the result?

When the job completes successfully and the result is available. A queued or processing job, an edit plan, or a source preview is not a completed render.
