Can I give an AI video editor my script and raw footage to build a rough cut?

Yes. An AI editing agent can use your script as the intended structure, review the corresponding recordings, choose usable takes, remove false starts and repetition, and assemble an editable first draft.

Upload the script with the footage and state:

• the target length;

• the intended order;

• the opening and ending you want;

• the lines, reactions, or pauses that must remain;

• how B-roll should be used; and

• anything the agent must not change.

For example: “Build a three-minute first draft in script order. Keep one complete take of every line, preserve the pause before the reveal, and use the product close-ups only where the script names that feature.”

The script guides the edit, but the finished first draft still needs review. A line may have several takes, an unscripted moment may improve the story, or a scripted line may not have been recorded. Check the selected performances, continuity, meaning, and any missing material before polishing the cut.

With invideo Editor, the invideo agent for editing works directly on the multitrack timeline. Its take selections and cuts remain editable, so you can restore a pause, replace a take, move B-roll, change the order, or ask the agent to revise one section without rebuilding the entire project.
