AI video editor for draft-to-final control

Edit a generated draft, uploaded footage, or a screen recording in ngram. Revise the agentic video in chat, edit narration scene by scene, or open an independent full-editor copy for timeline, canvas, audio, and MP4 export work.

  • Start from an AI draft, upload raw footage or a screen recording, or open a blank editor canvas
  • Edit narration scene by scene, then apply the change to revoice the affected scene
  • Open a separate full-editor copy for timeline, canvas, Elements, Record, effects, and MP4 export
  • Let ngram choose music for tone and pacing, then browse, swap, save its volume, or mute audio layers separately
  • Review and download earlier agentic renders from version history without overwriting the current version

The problem

The first draft is only useful if you can finish it

AI can get a video onto the screen quickly. The harder work starts when a sentence runs long, one scene is wrong, the music fights the narration, or uploaded footage needs a cleaner structure.

i.

A text change can become an audio job

Changing narration often means finding the right scene, recording it again, and checking that the visuals still fit the new timing.

ii.

Broad feedback is hard to translate into cuts

Notes such as "get to the point sooner" can turn into separate script, scene, caption, and audio edits.

iii.

Raw recordings need more than a trim

Screen captures and uploaded video may need transcription, dead-air removal, callouts, captions, cleaner audio, and a clearer sequence.

iv.

Music can undermine an otherwise good edit

The track, volume, voiceover, and sound effects need separate controls so a mood change does not bury the message.

ngram gives you an agentic editing path and an independent full-editor path, with clear boundaries between the two.

The solution

Shape the draft, then finish the cut

Use chat and direct script controls in the agentic video, or open a separate editor copy when the job needs a timeline, canvas, recording, elements, and detailed audio control.

A real Studio chat edit shows the original Scene 3 CTA, the requested replacement, the completed update, and the revised line in the rendered preview.

You always know whether you are changing the agentic video or its separate editor copy.

i

Revise the agentic draft

Ask for a tighter structure, target a scene or visual element, or open Edit > Script to change narration scene by scene.

ii

Open an independent editor copy

Open in editor creates a separate project copy. Later chat edits and editor changes do not update each other.

iii

Control the cut and its sound

Use the timeline and canvas to move, duplicate, or animate items. Add Elements or a screen capture to the active scene, then browse or swap music and mute audio layers separately.

Editing paths

Start where the material is, then use the right controls

You can begin with an agentic draft, existing footage or a screen recording, or a blank editor project.

Agenticdraft

Change the message before touching the timeline

Use chat for broad revisions, visual chat for a selected scene element, or the script editor for a specific line of narration.

Blankor uploaded

Build from a clean canvas or existing footage

Subscribers can start a blank desktop editor, add text, images, video, elements, or a recording, and keep the project for later edits.

Fulleditor

Treat the editor copy as its own project

The full editor opens in a separate project copy with timeline and canvas controls. It is not a continuously connected view of the agentic video.

Explanation

Make an existing recording clearer

Keep the useful footage and specify the speech to preserve. Request labels over the action or a diagram between passages, then review the transition back to the recording.

How it works

How video editing works in ngram

Move through the script, scene, music, and export controls in order, while keeping the independent editor-copy boundary clear.

Two annotated current Studio states show the separate-copy boundary, then the full editor with a real three-scene timeline, canvas, music track, and editing tools.
Start

Choose the starting point

Generate an agentic draft, upload raw video or a screen recording, or start a blank desktop editor project.

Revise

Edit the script and scene

Change narration scene by scene, apply the line to revoice that scene, and use chat or visual controls for scene-level changes.

Refine

Continue in an independent editor copy

Open the full editor when you need the timeline, canvas, Elements, Record, effects, or clip-level controls. The copy does not sync with later agentic edits.

Finish

Set the music and export

Keep the automatically selected track or browse and swap it, save the volume, mute audio layers independently, and export the editor project as MP4.

AI Video Editing questions

Is ngram an AI video editor?

Yes. It can generate a first draft, edit that draft through chat and direct script controls, and open a full editor for timeline, canvas, audio, effects, and MP4 export work.

Does the full editor stay connected to the agentic video?

No. Open in editor creates an independent editor copy in a separate project. Later changes in chat do not update that copy, and editor-copy changes do not update the agentic video.

Can I edit the narration directly?

Yes. Open Edit > Script to work scene by scene. Applying a line revoices the affected scene while keeping its visuals. A larger timing change may offer to regenerate that scene.

Can I start with a blank editor?

Yes, for subscribers using the desktop editor. Start a blank project, then add text, images, video, elements, or a recording and continue editing in the saved project.

Can I edit uploaded video and screen recordings?

Yes. Raw video can be ingested, transcribed, clipped, repurposed, captioned, voiced over, and edited. Screencasts can be uploaded or recorded in the browser, then refined with cursor smoothing, click emphasis, dead-air trimming, step labels, transitions, layouts, and callouts.

How does music work in the editor?

ngram can select hosted-library music from the video's tone and pacing. You can ask for a different mood, browse or swap the track, preview volume changes, and save the volume.

Can I mute music without muting narration?

Yes. The editor exposes separate mute controls for music, voiceover, and sound effects. The preview updates immediately, and the choices carry into download and sharing.

Can I restore an older version?

Version history lists rendered agentic versions with a thumbnail, duration, and timestamp. You can preview or download them, but there is no restore or revert action.

Which format does the full editor export?

The normal full-editor export is MP4. Other media conversions are separate chat-based transform flows, not a list of alternate direct editor export formats.

Can I add emphasis behind a presenter?

For a large generated or uploaded talking-head presenter, request Depth Captions at selected key words. Keep ordinary subtitles as a separate choice, or ask for plain subtitles with no depth effect.

Edit the draft all the way to a finished MP4

Use the script and agentic controls for the draft, or move into an independent editor copy for canvas, timeline, music, and MP4 export work.

Generate a draft, upload footage, record a screencast, or open a blank editor.
