AI makes video editing as simple as editing text

Vimeo, an enterprise-focused video hosting platform, launched new AI tools that make editing videos as simple as editing text!

If you've ever recorded a video, you'll know that it often requires multiple takes to achieve that professional finish. Approximately 50% of Vimeo's customers find themselves reshooting videos, with a substantial 25% requiring more than five takes!

This is where AI-powered video editing becomes a game-changer. Now, you can easily remove filler words such as "um" and "ah," as well as awkward pauses, directly from the auto-generated transcript!

Vimeo’s AI will also help you generate script for your video using a simple text prompt and a tone.

Why it matters: Filmmaking and editing are among the first industries to experience disruption due to AI. The learning curve for creating and editing videos has been significantly reduced, enabling more individuals to edit content easily without mastering professional tools like Adobe Premier Pro.

The leader in this domain is undoubtedly RunwayML, an AI startup that allows you to generate videos from simple text prompts while providing advanced editing tools.
