// how it works

How it works

  1. Bring source material

    A long video, a script, or just a topic — pick the input your tool expects.

  2. Configure the output

    Aspect ratio (9:16), voice, captions, and branding.

  3. Generate or cut

    AI writes, voices, and edits; clipping tools find the highlights.

  4. Publish everywhere

    Exports sized for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.
