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

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
