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
| Task | Technique | Best Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Remove background | Video matting | Runway, Unscreen, rotobrush |
| Color correction | LUTs, grading | DaVinci Resolve, Runway |
| Increase resolution | Video upscaling | Topaz Video AI, Real-ESRGAN |
| Fix shaky footage | Stabilization | DaVinci, Premiere, ffmpeg |
| Clean up audio | Enhancement | Adobe Podcast, Descript |
| Add effects | AI effects | Runway, After Effects |
| Slow motion | Frame interpolation | RIFE, Topaz |
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
- Export with alpha (green screen or AI matte)
- Place over new background
- Match lighting/color
- Add edge blur for realism
- Composite shadows
Enhancement Pipeline
- Stabilize (if needed)
- Color correct / grade
- Denoise
- Upscale to final resolution
- Sharpen (light)
Audio Cleanup
- Remove background noise
- Enhance voice clarity
- Normalize levels
- Add compression if needed
Frame Rates
