AI video editor

Give Okou a recording and describe the edit in plain words. Okou trims it, removes the parts you don't want, cuts captioned clips and returns the files for you to review.

Describe the edit

Edit this video: . Remove the first 3 minutes and the long pauses, add burned-in captions, and cut the 3 strongest moments as 9:16 clips under 60 seconds.

Opens your request in Okou. Add the video after sign-in. Nothing is posted for you.

What is an AI video editor?

An AI video editor makes the edits you describe instead of the ones you drag on a timeline. AI video editing works best on talking videos: interviews, webinars, podcasts, talks and demos, where the edit follows what was said.

Okou reads the timestamped transcript, finds where each point starts and ends, and cuts on those boundaries. It returns a trimmed video, captioned clips and chapters, and lists every cut so you can check it before anything is shared.

Recording → transcript → your instructions → cuts and captions → files to review

  • Trimmed recordings

    Remove the waiting time, setup, tangents and long pauses, with chapter timestamps.

  • Short clips

    Moments that stand on their own, cut in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 with captions and a hook.

  • Captions and subtitles

    Burned-in captions for social, or SRT and VTT files for the full video.

  • Posts from the video

    Titles, descriptions and LinkedIn posts drafted from what was said, quotes kept exact.

AI video editor FAQs

Do I need to know how to edit video?

No. Describe the edit in plain words, such as what to remove and which moments to keep. Okou makes the cuts and lists them so you can check each one.

What kind of videos does it edit best?

Videos where people talk: interviews, webinars, podcasts, talks, demos and meeting recordings. The cuts follow the transcript, so speech matters more than visuals.

Can it replace a timeline editor?

Not for motion graphics, colour grading or effects. Use it for the edits that take the longest by hand: trimming, removing sections, cutting clips and captioning.

Is this AI video editor free?

You can explore this page and its illustrative example for free. Editing runs in your signed-in Okou account and uses available credits.

Okou also has the AI clip maker, the video clipper and the zoom recording editor.
