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
