EDITBX AI Auto-Cut to Beat assembling a wedding highlight reel

AI Auto-Cut to Beat

Drag clips and a song onto the timeline — EDITBX detects beats and lays down a beat-cut sequence in seconds. Reel-ready, wedding-ready.

Speech-to-text captions

Built-in transcription workflow. Drop a clip, get editable burn-in captions — no upload, no API key.

AI Auto-Reframe

Reframe 16:9 to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, or 2.39:1 cinemascope with subject tracking. One-click vertical delivery.

Optical Flow Speed Remap

Optical-flow slow motion creates intermediate frames where the camera left gaps. Ideal for silky bridal-walk re-times.

Adjustment Layers

Dedicated adjustment-layer track — drop a grade, a look, or a vignette and it cascades over everything below.

Object & planar tracker

Point and planar tracking for masks, callouts, and signage replacement — no external round-trip.

Local AI Assistant

Local AI Assistant

Hybrid chat assistant: built-in fast rules + optional Ollama / LM Studio localhost models. Suggests edits for wedding highlights, reels, export presets, scene/beat markers, color, audio cleanup, and project health — always with Apply + confirm before anything touches your timeline.

Transcription and Captions
On-DeviceAvailable

Transcription & Captions

Generate caption cues from clip audio using macOS Speech (on-device) or bundled whisper.cpp (ggml-base.en.bin). Writes SRT sidecars and timeline caption tracks. Also powers the AI "Create subtitle" and Social Caption quick commands.

whisper.cpp · macOS Speech · SRT sidecar

Text-Based Editing
EditingAvailable

Text-Based Editing

Transcribe a clip with word-level timings, open the Transcript panel, select words, and press Delete to ripple-cut those sections from the timeline — like editing a document, not scrubbing frames.

Whisper word timings → Transcript panel → ripple extract

Scene Detect and Auto Cut
EditingAvailable

Scene Detect & Auto Cut

Find shot changes in the selected clip and split at each detected scene boundary. Uses FFmpeg scdet plus OpenCV refinement (or color-stats heuristic when OpenCV is unavailable).

FFmpeg scdet + OpenCV · color-stats fallback

Smart Reframe
EditingAvailable

Smart Reframe (9:16)

Reframe the active sequence to vertical 9:16 for Reels/Shorts/TikTok. With OpenCV: scans people across each clip and writes smoothed transform keyframes. Without OpenCV: center-weighted heuristic crop (honestly labeled).

OpenCV person scan + SmartReframeApply · center heuristic fallback

Magic Mask and Segmentation
VisionAvailable

Magic Mask & ML Segmentation

Detect or segment subjects at the playhead and create follow masks for color grading or Fusion. ONNX U²-Net matte when model is present; OpenCV GrabCut fallback; Haar/HOG detect for Fusion mask nodes.

ONNX u2netp.onnx · GrabCut · Haar/HOG → Fusion nodes

Auto Enhance Color
ColorAvailable

Auto Enhance

Analyze a representative frame and apply balanced exposure, contrast, and color to the selected clip. Multi-zone luma/RGB statistics with adaptive local contrast — no cloud ML, but genuinely useful one-click grade starting point.

Multi-zone luma/RGB stats → clip grade

Auto Beat Cut
AudioHeuristic

Auto Beat Cut

Build a music-driven montage that cuts on detected beats. Uses FFmpeg/DSP onset and energy analysis (not deep learning). Opens the Auto Beat Cut builder with beat markers you can refine.

FFmpeg/DSP beat analysis → cut planner

Super Scale ML Denoise
ExportAvailable

Super Scale / ML Denoise

Upscale export resolution 2×–4× with bilateral denoise and sharpen pass on Deliver. Set Super Scale in Project Settings; applied at export time — preview stays fast, export gets finishing quality.

Project Super Scale · bilateral denoise · sharpen on export

Wedding and Reels Planner
AssistantPro

Wedding & Reels Planner

AI assistant generates structured wedding highlight plans (Ceremony, Reception, First Dance…) and beat-aware vertical reels cut plans from your project context. Apply creates timeline markers — plans are suggestions, not silent auto-edits.
