ClivieEdit video by describing the cut.
Drop in your footage and say what you want — “cut the umms”, “add a counter at 0:42”, “make this 9:16”. Clivie edits a real timeline while you watch, and every change stays yours to tweak by hand.

An editor that happens to take instructions
A real timeline
Clips, tracks and trims you can grab. The assistant edits the same timeline you do, the same way you do — nothing is baked into a render you can't change.
It watched the footage
Ingest transcribes every word, and the editor can look at your shots, so “the bit where I hold up the mug” finds the right four seconds.
Captions and graphics
Word-timed captions, animated titles, counters and lower thirds, placed on the beat you point at and rendered locally.
Reframe, cut, tighten
Filler words and long pauses out, cut on word boundaries; 16:9 to 9:16 with the speaker kept in frame.
Fill the gaps
Generated B-roll and stills, stock footage, and a built-in library of music and sound effects — with the cost shown before anything expensive runs.
Your files stay yours
Projects live in a folder on your disk. Export, render and matting run on your computer. If your licence lapses, the editor still opens.
Credits for the AI. Everything local is free.
Transcribing, looking at footage, chatting with the editor and generating media call AI services, and those cost credits. Before anything expensive runs, Clivie shows the estimate and asks.
Exporting, rendering graphics, captions, cut-outs and every manual edit run on your own machine and never cost a credit. Already pay for AI providers? Bring your own keys and skip credits entirely.
