How to Edit an Existing Video by Describing the Changes

Quieter music, shorter intro, captions, no ums. Upload the file and write the edit the way you would brief a human editor.

Direct answer

Upload the video to Pitch and describe the edit. It transcribes the audio, plans the cuts, and renders a new version. Point at a time range in the preview when a change is about one moment.

Edits that work well from a sentence

  • Trimming the start or end, or cutting a section by describing it.
  • Removing silences and filler words.
  • Adding captions in the style you describe.
  • Changing music level, or replacing the music bed.
  • Making a shorter or vertical cut from a longer video.

Step by step

  1. Drag the file onto Pitch. The editor opens without spending anything yet.
  2. Select a range on the video if the note is about a specific moment.
  3. Write the edit, then review the render on the asset shelf.

When to use another tool

For frame-exact work like music videos or long documentaries, a timeline editor is still the right tool. Pitch is for the far more common case: a clear list of changes to a recording.

FAQ

Which formats can I upload?

Common video formats such as MP4 and MOV work.

Can I undo an edit?

Every render is its own file, so the previous version is always there.
