AI assistant for video editors: transcripts, scripts, descriptions and revisions without chaos
The editing stays yours. The assistant covers the preparation and the surrounding work: transcribes the footage, drafts the script from the brief, writes descriptions and tags, and keeps the client's revision list.
What it does
- transcribes the raw footage into text with timecodes
- drafts an edit script from the raw material
- writes captions, descriptions and platform copy
- collects the client's brief through a structured list of questions
- keeps the client's list of changes so nothing gets lost
What it does not do
The limits are set in advance
- does not edit the video in your place
- does not make the creative decisions
How much time it frees up
By our reviews, a video editor spends roughly
11 hours a week on the routine listed above — more than a third of the working week. The assistant does not take all of it: some tasks you will still be checking. But checking something finished is faster than doing it from scratch, and the gain lies in exactly that difference.
How it works
The assistant takes on everything that stands between you and the work: correspondence, briefs, descriptions, the calendar. The creative part stays entirely yours — we do not attempt to substitute for it and do not believe it can be done.
What the assistant takes off the editor's plate
Footage transcripts with timecodes
Three hours of interviews from which eight minutes must be cut. The assistant produces a transcript with timecodes and speakers, marks pauses, repetitions and slips, and by your list of themes highlights the fragments where they come up. You open the timeline with a map of the material rather than watching three hours with a notepad.
A script and storyboard from the client's brief
The client sent a paragraph: "we need a video about our service, about a minute and a half, dynamic". The assistant turns this into a draft structure: intro, problem, solution, call to action — with rough timing and the questions to ask the client before the shoot. You come to the call with a plan, not a blank page.
Descriptions, tags and thumbnails for each platform
The video is ready, and it still needs a description for one platform, a short one for another, tags, three headline variants and preview text. The assistant assembles all of this from the video's content and your rules for each platform. It also prepares a description version for the client — who often asks "write us what to post".
Revisions that don't get lost between versions
The client sent ten revisions by voice message, then three more in chat, then "cancel that first one". The assistant merges everything into one list with timecodes and statuses: done, in progress, cancelled, disputed. You edit from the list, and the client gets a reply "version 3: 11 of 13 done, please clarify two questions".
Quotes and deadlines you don't have to recalculate
"How much will it cost and when?" — the assistant calculates from your price list: running time, amount of footage, complexity of graphics, urgency. It gives you a draft proposal with two or three options; you send it after checking.
What the dialogue looks like
You: Uploaded three interviews for the Bakery project, themes — family history, recipes, plans for the new workshop.
Assistant: Transcribed 2 h 41 min. By theme: "family history" — 14 fragments, the most complete in the first interview at 00:03:10–00:07:45 and 00:22:30–00:25:00; "recipes" — mostly the second interview, but with many slips, flagged; "new workshop" — only the third, 00:11:00–00:16:20, with a good closing statement at 00:15:40. The file with the map and timecodes is in the project folder.
You: Draft a 6-minute structure: family — recipes — workshop.
Assistant: Done: 6:10 with timing by block and a list of 9 candidate sound bites. Flagged two questions for the client: are family archive photos needed, and is there footage of the new workshop.
What we need from you at the start
- Your price list and calculation rules: what you charge extra for, what is included in the base price.
- The rules of the platforms you most often deliver for: description formats, headline lengths, your templates.
- A couple of past projects with the brief, revisions and final video — the assistant will learn your process from them.
- Where the footage is stored and how you name files and versions.
Implementation timeline
One conversation to review, two to three days of setup. The assistant runs the first project alongside you: transcript, revision list, descriptions. By the second project it works without reminders. About a week and a half in total.
Frequently asked questions
Is the transcript accurate, or will I have to re-listen?
For clean indoor speech the accuracy is high; doubtful places the assistant flags itself. It will transcribe a noisy outdoor recording too, but with more flags — selective re-listening will still be needed.

Can it handle correspondence with the client?
Organisational — yes: the revision list, statuses, deadlines, sending versions. It will not discuss creative decisions or a price below your minimum — that stays with you.

I work alone, not many projects.
Then the most noticeable effect is transcripts and descriptions: two tasks that take hours and don't need an editor. The rest can be left out.

Does the assistant edit?
No. It prepares the material and the surrounding work; the editing, rhythm and graphics are your work, and that is what you are paid for.
