Edit with the Recordful Agent

Chat with an AI in the editor's sidebar and watch it edit your video: cut fillers and pauses, remove a section, add zooms, captions, titles and lower thirds, change the frame.

The Recordful Agent is an AI editor in a sidebar beside your video. Say what you want, and it makes each change in the editor while you watch. It is in beta and part of Pro.

Open it

Open a recording in the editor at recordful.app, then press Shift+S or click the sparkle button in the top bar. Press Shift+S again, or the ×, to close it.

What to ask

  • "Cut the filler words and long pauses."
  • "What is this video about?"
  • "Remove the part where I talk about pricing."
  • "Zoom in on the first 5 seconds."
  • "Add captions, a bit bigger, at the top."
  • "Add a lower third when I introduce myself."
  • "Make it 9:16 with a dark gradient background for a Short."
  • "Undo that."

The agent can:

  • Clean up speech. Cut filler words (um, uh, a "like" that says nothing) and shorten long pauses, or put them back. These are the same as the Filler words and Long pauses switches under Clean up.
  • Cut a stretch. Remove a section by its time, or by its topic: it reads the transcript first and says which lines it will cut.
  • Zoom. Add a zoom for a stretch of the video, following your pointer where its path was recorded, or remove all zooms.
  • Captions. Add captions (in a language you name, or the one it hears), remove them, or change their size and position.
  • Motion. Add a title, a lower third, a number callout or a highlighted sentence where it fits the transcript, with its words; change their words, move them or take them off. See Motion.
  • Frame. Change the padding, rounded corners, shape (Auto, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 or 9:16) and background (none, a colour or a gradient).
  • Read the video. Its length, clips and transcript.
  • Undo. Like Ctrl+Z.

It can't yet change layouts, add b-roll or music, or export. Ask and it will say so instead of pretending.

Undo and stop

Every change the agent makes lands in the editor's history, so Ctrl+Z undoes it like an edit by hand. While it works, the send button turns into Stop.

Credits

Each request spends a few of your workspace's AI credits, usually around 10. The number left shows at the top of the sidebar. See AI credits.

Good to know

  • The chat lasts while the editor is open. Closing the editor starts a fresh chat next time.
  • The agent never makes up footage or words. Times it mentions come from your video.
  • It runs in the web editor. The desktop app's editor gets it later.
