AI video editor: drop your rushes, get a finished edit.
Film in any language, drop the whole folder, pick TikTok or YouTube and a length. The AI puts your takes in order, keeps the best ones, cuts the silences and mistakes without breaking a sentence, then adds captions, zooms and sound effects. You watch it happen on the timeline.

What is automatic video editing?
Automatic video editing turns raw footage into a finished, publish-ready video without cutting by hand. In Nano Banana Video Studio, Auto edit reads what you say in every rush, chooses the story order and the best take of each idea, removes silences, filler words and mistakes on sentence boundaries, and finishes the video with captions, zooms, b-roll and sound effects. The result is a regular timeline, so you keep the last word.

From a folder of rushes to a video you can post.
Four steps, and only the first two need you.
STEP 1Drop your rushes
One file, a selection or a whole folder from your phone or camera. A folder becomes a folder in Media / Assets, so you find your rushes again later.
STEP 2Pick format and length
TikTok or YouTube, a target length, and the finishing touches you want. Add a note if something matters: “keep the joke about the cat”, “end on the price”.
STEP 3Watch the AI edit
Your rushes are transcribed, then Claude writes the edit decision by decision. Each cut, caption and effect lands on the timeline while you watch.
STEP 4Tweak and export
Move a cut, rewrite a caption, remove an effect, or keep it as it is. Export an MP4 without watermark and post it wherever you want.
The work of an editor, not a silence cutter.
Removing pauses is the easy part. Auto edit reads the whole story before it cuts.
Puts the takes in order
Rushes rarely come in the right order. The AI builds a story: hook first, then the explanation, examples and a clear ending.
Drops what you do not need
False starts, “is it recording?”, tests, setup talk, off-topic chatter and repeated ideas go. When an idea is said three times, the best take stays.
Respects your sentences
Every kept piece starts and ends on a full sentence. Inside it, only pauses and fillers such as “um”, “uh” or “euh” are cut, with a little air around the words.
Aims for your length
The edit targets 90 to 110 % of the length you chose. Too short after the first pass? A free second pass adds the best unused passages.
Captions word by word
Captions follow the voice word by word, in the language spoken, with the key words highlighted. Sized for vertical or horizontal video.
Light zooms
Punch-ins on strong lines and slow push-ins on long ones keep the frame moving, without the shaky look of zooms on every cut.
B-roll from your own shots
Silent shots in your rushes (the product, the place, your hands) are laid over the talking parts where they illustrate what you say.
Sound effects, mixed
A few whooshes, pops and hits on cuts and key words, placed under the level of your voice so none of them jumps out. Music is optional.
Any language
Speech is transcribed in 99 languages and the language of each rush is detected. Notes, titles and captions follow the language you speak.
TikTok or YouTube, edited for each.
The format changes more than the frame: vertical edits are tighter, horizontal ones leave room to breathe.
| TikTok · Reels · Shorts | YouTube | |
|---|---|---|
| Frame | Vertical 9:16, 1080 × 1920 | Horizontal 16:9, 1920 × 1080 |
| Target lengths | 15 s, 30 s, 60 s, 90 s | 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min |
| Pacing | Tight: short pauses are cut too | Natural: a little more breathing room between sentences |
| Captions | Large, in the lower middle of the frame | Near the bottom of the frame |
| Best for | Hooks, tips, UGC ads, quick stories | Tutorials, vlogs, reviews, talks |

Editing by hand vs Auto edit.
The same 20 minutes of rushes, two ways to get to a 5-minute video.
| Classic timeline editor | Nano Banana Auto edit | |
|---|---|---|
| Watching the rushes | You watch everything to find the good takes | The AI reads the full transcript of every rush |
| Order and best takes | You decide clip by clip | Story order and best take chosen for you |
| Silences and fillers | Cut one by one, or a silence tool that also cuts mid-sentence | Removed inside kept sentences only |
| Captions, zooms, SFX | Added and timed by hand | Added in the same pass, timed to the words |
| Final control | Full | Full: every decision is a normal clip on the timeline |
Your rushes stay on your computer.
A 4K phone rush weighs gigabytes; uploading it all before editing would take longer than the edit. So your browser does the heavy work on your own files: it reads the sound, finds the silences, samples frames into one contact sheet per rush and encodes a light audio track for the transcription. Only the parts of your rushes that end up in the video are sent, in 1080p.

Made for people who talk to the camera.
Auto edit works best when there is speech: it edits from what you say.
