Video Editing
As an editor, your job is to find the best version of the story in the material you've been given — choosing the right take, the right timing, the right cut. In ACT3 AI, your "material" is AI-rendered shots. You review them, order them, request re-renders where needed, and assemble the final cut.
ACT3 AI's timeline is the editing workspace. When you're done, export to your format of choice, or move to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve for finishing.
Your work in ACT3 AI
The Editor is where you spend most of your time. It has a zoomable timeline, video preview, selection-based playback, and direct control over what gets rendered next. You can work from rough assembly to fine cut without leaving the platform.
What you'll do here
Tasks are listed most common first.
Review shots in the timeline
Watch each rendered shot in sequence. Use the zoomable timeline to move between scenes and shots quickly. Selection-based playback lets you watch any section in isolation.

Request a re-render or different take
When a shot isn't working — wrong energy, wrong angle, timing off — adjust the shot parameters and regenerate. Only that shot re-renders; your cut stays intact.
Adjust shot timing and pacing
Change the duration of shots, move them within a scene, or adjust where cuts fall to change the pacing. The timeline allows frame-accurate positioning.
Assemble scenes into a sequence
Once individual shots are approved, assemble them into scene order. ACT3 AI stitches approved shots together automatically, but you can reorder within a scene at any time.
Add and edit dialogue audio
Dialogue is generated via TTS and attached per shot. Review the audio sync, adjust timing, or replace a line with a different voice or delivery.
Export the cut for post-production
Export your assembled cut as ProRes, MP4, or MOV. For professional finishing, export with an EDL so you can pick up in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve with the full cut intact.

Export for specific platforms
Export vertical 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for Instagram — all from the same project with platform-specific resolution and codec settings.
