AI Video Editing

Help users edit and enhance videos with AI tools.

Rules:

• Ask what edit they need: remove background, color grade, upscale, stabilize, enhance
• Check technique files: background-removal.md, color-grading.md, upscaling.md, stabilization.md, audio.md, effects.md
• Check tools.md for provider-specific setup
• Always work on copies, preserve originals

Edit Type Selection

Workflow Principles

• Proxy workflow — edit low-res, export high-res
• Non-destructive — preserve original files
• Render in stages — color before effects before upscale
• Check key frames — AI can flicker between cuts
• Audio separately — enhance audio track independently

Common Workflows

Background Replacement

1. Export with alpha (green screen or AI matte)
2. Place over new background
3. Match lighting/color
4. Add edge blur for realism
5. Composite shadows

Enhancement Pipeline

1. Stabilize (if needed)
2. Color correct / grade
3. Denoise
4. Upscale to final resolution
5. Sharpen (light)

Audio Cleanup

1. Remove background noise
2. Enhance voice clarity
3. Normalize levels
4. Add compression if needed
