Put your clips on a reel and get back a finished, editable video.

The whole walk · seven stops

From a folder of clips to a captioned, branded cut you can still edit

Here's the walk, in the order you'll do it.

Your client sent a folder of clips and needs a branded social cut by Friday.

Here's where to cut it.

Step 1 · Open Video Editor Studio

It's in the sidebar, under Video

Pick the client you're working on. Then open Video in the left sidebar and click Video Editor Studio. It uses that client's clips, logo, colours and fonts. The page is four numbered sections, top to bottom: the reel, the graphic, the sound, and Assemble.

The studio · four sections, a preview on top

Preview — the selected clip plays here

1The Reel

Drag to reorder. Click the chip between clips to pick the transition — cut, dissolve, slide, wipe, flip, clock, or iris. Images play as Ken Burns scenes; toggle CC on talking clips to caption them.

What's different here

The reel is the edit

you order real clips and stills; nothing is generated unless you ask for a graphic or a score.

Editable, not locked

Assemble hands back a project you can open in the StyleForge Editor, plus the MP4.

The Director reads the footage

type what you want and Claude cuts it from each clip's transcript and safe zones — your picks never overridden.

First, you put the clips and stills on the reel, in order.

A transition between each, a camera move on the still, captions on the clips where someone talks.

Step 2 · Build the reel

Add the client's clips and stills from the kit, drag them into order, and click the chip between any two to pick the transition

Pull clips and stills from the client's kit, or upload new ones. Drag them into order. Click the chip between any two to pick the transition. A still gets a slow camera move; a clip where someone talks gets captions with one toggle.

What an upload gets analyzed for

The transcript

what is said, and when — so captions land on speech

The scenes

where the cut points fall inside a clip

Safe zones

where faces and the product sit — text never lands on them

Then you ask for the graphic the cut needs, and stage it on a scene.

Authored in the client's brand, previewed live, placed where you say.

Step 3 · Add a motion graphic

Describe a graphic in one line, watch the brand-bound variants animate, pick one and the scene it plays over, and click Use

Describe the graphic the cut needs in one line, like a Healthy, all natural sticker in our green. Variants in the client's brand animate below. Pick one, pick the scene it plays over, and click Use.

2 · Add Motion Graphics

Describe a motion graphic — Claude authors brand-bound variants that animate live below. Iterate by describing changes, then stage the one you like onto a scene.

Staged onto Scene 4 · the bag

motion graphic · staged

One motion graphic per video in the studio today; add more with directions, or in the editor after. The graphic renders transparent, so it sits over the footage without a box around it — and the same take can be saved to the kit for the next cut.

You write one line for the music, and the script if there's a voice.

Both generate at assemble, sized to the reel, the music ducking under the words.

Step 4 · Add music and narration

A one-line music brief and, if you want a voice, the script — both are generated at assemble, sized to the reel, and the music ducks under the narration

Two fields. One line for the music, like warm acoustic, sunny, ends with the video. And the script, if you want a voice. Both are made when you assemble, sized to the reel, and the music dips under the narration on its own.

Then you name it, pick the aspect and the caption look, and assemble.

A few minutes later, the finished cut plays, captioned and branded.

Step 5 · Assemble

Name it, pick the aspect and the caption look, click Assemble video — and a few minutes later the finished, branded cut is playing

Name it, pick the aspect, pick a caption look from twenty-two swatches, and click Assemble video. A few minutes later the finished, branded cut plays right there.

Or you type what you want, and the Director cuts it for you.

It reads every clip's transcript and safe zones and tells you what it did.

Step 6 · Or direct with Claude

Type what you want in plain words above the button — it becomes Direct & Assemble, and the Director cuts it from every clip's transcript and safe zones

Or type what you want above the button, like caption only where she speaks, logo small in the corner, end on the bag. The Director reads every clip before it places anything, cuts it that way, and tells you what it did.

Direct with Claude (optional)

open on the garden, then the market and the kitchen — caption only where people speak, keep the supers big, logo small top-left for the whole video, end on the bag with the sticker

empty box = Assemble video · words in the box = the Director Direct & Assemble

Director: Ordered garden → market → kitchen → bag with a dissolve into the market and a slide into the kitchen. Captioned the market clip only — it's the one with speech. Logo watermark top-left, clear of the dog in every scene. Sticker staged on the bag, held to the end. Music brief matched to the pace.

What the Director can do on its own

Reorder the scenes

to the story you described

Caption only the speakers

it knows which clips have speech

Place overlays in clear bands

logo and graphic off the faces and the product

Write a matching music brief

to the pace and the mood of the cut

What the Director sees · safe zones

occupied · the dogclear · text goes here

Every clip on the reel was analyzed when it was saved: the transcript, the scene cuts, and where the faces and the product sit. The Director places captions and overlays in the clear bands, and warns you if something would collide — warnings inform, they never block.

When it's right, you download it, save it to the kit, or open it in the editor.

Every scene, caption, overlay and track still editable. The project stays on Brand Videos.

Step 7 · Keep it, save it, open it

Download the MP4, save the cut to the client's kit, or open it in the StyleForge Editor — every scene, caption, overlay and track still editable

Three buttons under the finished video. Download the MP4. Save to Brand Kit to keep it as a client asset. Or Open in StyleForge Editor to keep editing on a full timeline, every scene, caption, overlay and track on its own layer.

Change your mind three ways: edit the directions and re-assemble, move things on the reel and re-assemble, or open the editor and do it by hand.

Or you say the whole thing to Claude, and it hands back the editable project.

Four playbooks, named for the job.

Or · Say it to Claude

Tell Claude which clips and what you want — it orders the reel, captions the speakers, places the brand, scores it, and hands back the editable project

Tell Claude which clips and what you want. It orders the reel, captions the speakers, places the logo, scores it, and hands back the preview, the MP4 and the editable project.

• Built for fast social and ad video. Deep custom work happens in the StyleForge Editor after.
• Music and narration generate at assemble. A cut around thirty seconds comes together in about one to three minutes, with live progress.
• One motion graphic staged per video in the studio today. Add more through directions or in the editor.
• Uploads need a moment of analysis after they save before the Director can see them.
• Captions are per clip: toggle CC on a clip, or pick any caption look to turn them on for every talking clip. No Captions turns them all off.

Pick the client's kit. Order the reel. Assemble, or say it in words. Keep the cut, and keep editing.
