The AI editing agent

Press ⌥⌘A (or the Agent button in the rail) and describe what you want. The agent isn't a separate "AI mode" — it operates your real timeline with the same operations you use by hand, so its work is inspectable and every change is one ⌘Z from gone.

app.corte.so/cut

Cut the silences, add captions, and tighten this to 30 seconds.

On it — I found 14 silent gaps totalling 22s. Removing them, then transcribing for captions.

remove_silence · 14 ranges removed add_captions · styled, max 4 words/line set_clip_properties · speed 1.06× on b-roll

Done — the cut is 30.2s. Captions follow your title style. Want me to duck the music under the voiceover?

Ask the agent to edit, generate, or fix anything…

Each dashed row is a real action on the timeline — the agent narrates what it's doing as it works.

What it can do

• Cut and arrange — add, split, move, retime, and ripple-edit clips; build side-by-sides, picture-in-picture, and grids; sync clips by audio.
• See your footage — it inspects frames and transcripts, and searches media semantically: "find the shot where the bike jumps" searches what's in the video, both visual and spoken.
• Transcript edits — remove filler words and silences, down to the word.
• Captions and titles — transcribe and lay down styled caption tracks, add and update text elements.
• Color and effects — apply grades, LUTs, and effects, read the scopes, denoise audio.
• Multicam — build synced groups and switch angles.
• Generate media — create video, images, voiceover, music, and sound effects with the same models as Studio, imported straight into the project.
• Project housekeeping — organize the media panel, change project settings, run exports.

What it costs

The agent runs on Claude and is metered by tokens, converted to credits. It defaults to Sonnet — the reliability sweet spot for editing — and the model picker in the agent panel lets you drop to Haiku for cheap quick tasks or step up to Opus for the hardest edits:

Model	Input (per M tokens)	Output (per M tokens)
Haiku	150 credits	750 credits
Sonnet (default)	450 credits	2,250 credits
Opus	750 credits	3,750 credits

Minimum 1 credit per turn. A typical editing exchange costs a handful of credits; generation the agent triggers is billed like any other generation.

Working style that works

Give it outcomes, not clicks: "make this feel faster and add captions for social" beats a list of micro-instructions. Check the result, then refine — it keeps the context of the conversation and the cut.
