Studio — record it, send it, get the finished video back

What actually happens

This goes in. That comes out.

1 What you send Raw footage

One take, as you recorded it. Untouched.

2 What comes back

42:10

The episode

The same recording, tightened. Retakes and dead air gone, captions on, colour matched, your end card and your link where you want them.

1:58:14 in 42:10 out

00:41

00:28

00:55

Six shorts

The moments that stand on their own — twenty to fifty-eight seconds, opening on a question or your strongest line, ending when the thought ends. Each one a finished reel.

9:16 captioned included

00:44

The vertical cut

Shot wide, published tall, if that is where your audience is. The frame follows whoever is speaking, and captions never sit over a face.

16:9 source 9:16 out

All three from one upload. The shorts cost nothing extra.

The work you are handing over

Editing is not hard. It is just hours of the same four jobs.

Nobody enjoys these, and none of them are creative decisions — they are tidying. Hand them over and keep the part that is actually yours: deciding what the video says.

Scrubbing through two hours to find the good bits

It has already watched all of it.

Nothing is skipped and nothing is guessed at. The parts where you said the same thing twice, the parts where you lost your thread, the forty minutes of silence — gone before you open it.

Cutting the “ums”, and the second take of the same sentence

Done, and it keeps the better take.

When you say the same thing twice, the complete, calmer version stays and the stumble goes. Your pauses stay, if they are doing something.

Cutting the verticals, one at a time, for a week

Six shorts, from the same upload.

Each is a finished vertical reel — framed, captioned, with a hook and your end card. They arrive with the long video, not after it.

“Can you just change one thing?” — and being billed for it

Ask for ten changes. Pay for none.

You are charged once, for the footage you send. Everything after that — every revision, every short, every “actually, warmer” — is included.

8 hrs

What an editor takes on a two-hour recording, at a day rate.

~75 min

What Studio took on a 29.8-minute interview, measured on its own server.

0

Hours of yours. You upload it and go and do something else.

The 75 minutes is this product's own measurement — half a minute reading the files, six minutes hearing the words, twenty-five cutting, forty-three rendering, five checking. You are told the number before you commit, and it rounds late rather than early on purpose.

What you get here that you do not get elsewhere

Six things no other editor will do for you.

Not features. Promises — each one backed by a check that runs before you ever see the video.

1

You never open an editor

No timeline, no tracks, no keyframes, no trimming. Record the video, send it over, and that is the whole of your involvement until it comes back finished.

record it and hand it over

2

Nothing is ever said that you did not say

A number, a name or a claim on screen that never came out of your mouth is caught and dropped before the frame is drawn — not after you have published it.

enforced by a test, not by good intentions

3

Every cut comes with its reason

“You told the same story twice. The second take was complete and calmer, so the first was removed.” A real line from a real edit. You can read the whole list before you watch a second of it.

the edit, explained

4

Change your mind as often as you like

You pay once, for the minutes of footage you send. Every revision after that is free, and so is every short. Renders, exports and “one more tweak” are not a meter that runs.

charged once, per upload

5

It learns how you like your videos

Say “from now on keep the music down” once and it holds for every video after that — and it writes down the sentence that taught it, so you can see what it thinks it knows.

your words, recorded

6

A real time, and it survives a crash

You are told how long it will take before you commit. Uploads resume after a dropped connection, and if the machine restarts mid-edit the job picks up from its last saved piece.

The honest comparison

We are a small product. Here is exactly what that means.

Everything else in this table is built by a company with hundreds of people. They have things we do not have, and some of them are things you will miss. This says which.

Read the “no” column honestly. If you want a manual timeline, subtitles in twelve languages, or a template library to play in, one of the others is the right tool for you, and we would rather say so now than take your money. What you cannot get anywhere else is the left-hand column: an editor you never have to open, that explains every cut, that never puts words in your mouth, and that does not bill you again for changing your mind.

Compiled from these products' own public pages in October 2026, plus general knowledge of the category. The tools change constantly, so check anything that decides it for you. The long version.

It gets better the more you use it

Say it once. It holds for every video after.

Most tools forget everything the moment you close the tab. This one keeps a note of how you like your videos, in your own words — and shows you the note.

Things people have told it

never put captions on my videos from now on keep it moving always vertical for me keep the music down use my orange

Ask for the same change twice in one project and it becomes that project's default on its own, without you having to say “always”.

What it wrote down

Your preferences, as it keeps them

# Preferences — this account Built automatically from your own words. Each line: the date, what it now does by default, and the sentence that taught it. - 2026-10-03: no captions — from "never put captions on my videos" - 2026-10-04: music: low — from "from now on keep the music down" - 2026-10-04: pace: tight — from "from now on keep it moving" - 2026-10-05: format: reel — from "always vertical for me" - 2026-10-06: brand colour #b4531f — from "use my orange"

You can read this, change it, or clear it whenever you like. Nothing about your videos is decided by anything you cannot see.

Before you upload

The questions people actually ask.

What do I actually have to do?

Record the video, choose the files, press start. That is the whole process. You never open an editor, there is no timeline, and nothing needs trimming by hand. Leave the tab open and watch the clock, or close it and come back.

What if the edit is not right?

Write what you want changed, in plain words — “faster”, “fewer cards”, “cut 2:10 to 2:30”, “lower the music”. You get a new version, the old one stays, and it costs nothing. Ask as many times as it takes.

Will it invent things I did not say?

No, and that is enforced rather than promised. Before any frame is drawn, every number and phrase planned for the screen is checked against what you actually said. If the words were not spoken, the card is dropped and that line is shown on your face instead.

How long will my video take?

You are told before you commit, based on how long this has really taken on footage like yours. As a guide, a 30-minute interview has taken about 75 minutes. It rounds late rather than early on purpose.

Do I need to know anything about editing?

Nothing at all. If you can attach a file to an email, you can use this.

What happens to my footage?

It stays on Studio's own server for as long as your plan's retention window, which is 7 days on Free and up to a year on Business. Deleting a video's footage removes the media and keeps the notes and what it learned about your preferences, because those are what make the next one better.

Is it making footage up with AI?

No. It cuts the video you shot. If a shot has no footage behind it, it will look for a stock clip and, failing that, a still image — and it tells you which it used. It will never pass a generated image off as something you filmed.

What can I upload?

Video: mp4, mov, m4v, webm, mkv, avi, mts, m2ts, 3gp, wmv, flv, mpg, mpeg. Pictures: png, jpg, jpeg, webp. Sound: mp3, wav, m4a, aac, ogg, flac, opus.

Send it the footage. Go and do something else.

Your first 30 minutes are free — one real episode, edited end to end, with as many revisions as you want. No card, no trial countdown, no watermark. If it is not right for you, you will know in an afternoon.
