General Video Content

Create polished videos and short clips in seconds — no editing skills needed.

With Auto Edit in Detail iOS / iPadOS you can instantly transform any raw video into a ready-to-share, high-quality edit. (Available in Detail 5 onwards)

Step 1: Record or upload your video

You can either:

  • Record directly in Detail iOS / iPadOS

  • Or upload any talking video (1 minute or longer), horizontal or vertical – you can upload more than one video at a time.

Hot tip: use the AI script writer and teleprompter to polish a script and read it to camera.

Step 2: Tap Auto Edit

Once your video is loaded:

  1. In the bottom menu, tap Auto Edit

  2. You can toggle on / off the enhances you want like Silence Removal, Zoom Cuts, Background Music, Titles and Captions.

  3. You can also choose your preferred language

  4. Tap Continue and Detail will analyze your footage and transcript and start editing right away

Step 3: Let Auto Edit do its magic

In seconds, Auto Edit will:

  • Remove unwanted silences

  • Add zoom cuts, titles, captions, and background music – depending on what you toggled on / off.

  • Create one minimal long-form edit

  • Generate multiple short social clips with titles and descriptions

  • Provide an engagement score for each edit, based on how relevant each version is for your audience.

All of these versions, as well as your original default recording, are available to you in the Edits menu (🗂️) in the top left corner

Step 4: Review and fine-tune

Want to make a few changes or customize? No problem.

You can:

  • Adjust background music volume

  • Apply a filter

  • Add or change titles

  • Drop in B-roll clips

  • Use any editing feature available to you in the Detail app

Even with manual tweaks, Auto Edit has already saved you tons of time.

Step 5: Export and repurpose

When you're happy with your edit:

  • Tap the Export button (top right)

  • Download your long-form video and short clips

  • Tap Media to download the full transcript to turn into blog posts or articles

  • Tap Content to use the built-in copywriting suggestions for social captions, titles, and even more video ideas.

That’s it!

In just a few taps, you’ve gone from raw footage to a full set of polished content — ready to post across all your platforms.
