How to Edit Video with AI

From raw footage to placement-ready creative in 3 steps — without opening an editing app.

01

Drop In Your Video

Upload a clip or point the agent at footage already in your workspace — UGC submissions, product demos, long-form recordings, anything.

02

Describe the Edit in Plain English

"Trim the dead air, add captions, and give me a 9:16 version." The agent translates your request into precise FFmpeg operations and runs them in its sandbox.

03

Launch the Output as Ad Creative

Edited files land back in your workspace, ready to deploy across Meta, Google, and TikTok — with per-creative performance tracking built in.

Why Ad Teams Edit Video with Soku AI

Other editors give you a timeline. Soku gives you an operator.

Natural-Language Editing

Describe the outcome — the agent plans the operations, runs them, and shows you exactly what it did. Chat-level effort, professional-engine output.

Every Placement, One Source

Turn one hero video into 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5 cuts in a single instruction — correctly sized and compressed for each platform's spec.

Captions by Default

Transcribe, style, and burn in captions automatically — so your feed ads keep converting with the sound off, where most viewing happens.

Batch Operations

Apply one edit across dozens of files at once. Variant sets that take an afternoon in a timeline editor take one instruction here.

Why Soku AI for Video Editing

A professional engine, not a toy filter stack

Soku's agent operates FFmpeg — the open-source video engine behind streaming platforms and broadcast workflows. Frame-accurate trims, proper codec handling, platform-spec compression. The difference shows up in quality scores and load times, not just in the preview.

The edit is one step of the workflow, not the destination

Timeline editors end at the export button. In Soku, the edited file lands in the same workspace as your campaigns — the agent can launch it on Meta, Google, or TikTok and track which cut converts, in the same conversation that produced it.

Transparent, repeatable, scriptable

The agent shows you the operations it ran, and yesterday's instruction works on today's batch. "Do what we did to last week's UGC drop" is a valid edit request — try that with a timeline.

What Ad Teams Edit with Soku AI

Placement-Ready Resizing

One hero video becomes feed, Stories, Reels, and YouTube cuts — sized and compressed to each platform's spec in a single instruction.

Trim-to-Hook

Cut straight to the moment that stops the scroll. The first second decides retention — the agent makes it the new opening frame.

Caption Everything

Most feed video plays muted. Transcribe and burn in styled captions across your whole creative batch automatically.

UGC Cleanup at Scale

Normalize formats, fix rotations, and compress a folder of creator submissions to ad-ready spec in one pass.

Merge & Sequence Clips

Stitch unboxing + testimonial + offer into one ad with clean transitions — no timeline dragging required.

Thumbnails & Stills

Extract the sharpest frame at any timestamp for thumbnails, companion image ads, and landing-page heroes.

How Soku AI Compares

Most AI video editors still hand you a timeline. Soku hands the work to an agent — and connects the output to your campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

An AI video editor lets you edit video by describing the change in plain language instead of operating editing software. You say 'trim the first 3 seconds and add captions' and the edit happens. Soku AI implements this literally: its agent has FFmpeg — the professional video processing engine — built into its workspace, and operates it for you from chat instructions.

Yes. Soku AI offers a free plan that includes video editing through the agent — no credit card required to get started. Paid plans unlock higher volumes and advanced campaign features.

FFmpeg is the open-source video toolkit that powers much of the video internet — streaming platforms, broadcast workflows, and video apps rely on it for cutting, converting, captioning, and compressing video with frame-level precision. It's normally driven from a command line, which is why most marketers never touch it. Soku's agent writes and runs the FFmpeg commands for you, so you get professional-engine output from a plain-English request.

With Soku AI it takes 3 steps: (1) upload your clip or point at a video already in your workspace, (2) describe the edit in chat — trim, captions, resize, merge, convert, or any combination, (3) the agent plans the operations, runs FFmpeg in its sandbox, and returns the finished file, ready to launch as ad creative.

Yes. Ask for any aspect ratio — 9:16 vertical for Reels/TikTok/Shorts, 1:1 square for feed, 4:5 portrait, or 16:9 widescreen — and the agent produces correctly sized, platform-spec exports from one source video. You can request all formats in a single instruction.

Yes. The agent transcribes your audio, generates styled captions, and burns them into the frames — essential for feed ads, since most social video is watched on mute.

Everything FFmpeg supports, which covers effectively every format in use: MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, AVI, GIF, and dozens more, across all common codecs. Format conversion is itself a one-line instruction.

Yes — batch editing is where the agent approach beats timeline editors completely. An instruction like 'make 9:16 captioned versions of all five clips' runs across every file in one go, which is how ad teams produce placement-ready variant sets in minutes.

For ad teams, the best editor is the one connected to your campaigns. Soku AI edits the video and then deploys it: outputs land in your workspace ready to launch across Meta, Google, and TikTok with per-creative performance tracking. Tools like VEED, InVideo, and Clipfly edit well but stop at the export.
