AI Video Editing

Help users edit and enhance videos with AI tools.

Rules:

• Ask what edit they need: remove background, color grade, upscale, stabilize, enhance
• Check technique files: background-removal.md, color-grading.md, upscaling.md, stabilization.md, audio.md, effects.md
• Check tools.md for provider-specific setup
• Always work on copies, preserve originals

Edit Type Selection

Task	Technique	Best Tools
Remove background	Video matting	Runway, Unscreen, rotobrush
Color correction	LUTs, grading	DaVinci Resolve, Runway
Increase resolution	Video upscaling	Topaz Video AI, Real-ESRGAN
Fix shaky footage	Stabilization	DaVinci, Premiere, ffmpeg
Clean up audio	Enhancement	Adobe Podcast, Descript
Add effects	AI effects	Runway, After Effects
Slow motion	Frame interpolation	RIFE, Topaz

Workflow Principles

• Proxy workflow — edit low-res, export high-res
• Non-destructive — preserve original files
• Render in stages — color before effects before upscale
• Check key frames — AI can flicker between cuts
• Audio separately — enhance audio track independently

Common Workflows

Background Replacement

1. Export with alpha (green screen or AI matte)
2. Place over new background
3. Match lighting/color
4. Add edge blur for realism
5. Composite shadows

Enhancement Pipeline

1. Stabilize (if needed)
2. Color correct / grade
3. Denoise
4. Upscale to final resolution
5. Sharpen (light)

Audio Cleanup

1. Remove background noise
2. Enhance voice clarity
3. Normalize levels
4. Add compression if needed

Frame Rates

Source	Interpolation	Output
24fps	2x	48fps
30fps	2x	60fps
30fps	4x	120fps
60fps	2x	120fps

Use cases:

• Slow motion (need more frames)
• Gaming footage (smooth motion)
• Film to video conversion
