What if editing took minutes instead of an hour? | Build in Muse: Episode 2

Recently, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. But, everyday I hop into a cold plunge to record and post a video documenting the journey. Now, posting a video everyday with a family, a job, and of course, going through this journey, it could be a lot. What if I could take my editing process from an hour down to only a few minutes, buying back time with my family? So, let me introduce you to Talk to Your Editor, where it can learn your style and edit just like you. Of course, modeled off the beautiful interface of Muse. Here's how it works. Let's teach it our style. I'm going to drop in a raw video that I recorded before, then a video I manually edited so it can see a before and after. Drop that in, and I'm going to tell it, "Learn from this." Now, after it analyzes the video, it creates rules based on what it noticed. It noticed in my retakes I always keep the last line, which is true. Whenever I had long pauses, I trimmed that out. And in my final video, it always has a zoomed-in shot centered on my face. Now, since I normally shoot from far away so I can create both a vertical video and a horizontal video, it noticed on my horizontal video that I normally have a zoomed-in tight crop on my face. So, let's save these rules. Okay, so now it wants me to drop in a video and it'll edit it in that style. So, I have a video here that I recorded yesterday. Let's drop that in and say here, I can dictate it, "Edit in my style." Let's send it. And it gives me some options. Do I want to remove retakes? Do I want to trim the silences? And if so, how much? Do we also want to remove filler words? And from this, do we also want to create a vertical and a horizontal video? Let's hit yeah now. So, let's make the edit. Okay, it's uploading the video, transcribing the words through Eleven Labs, finding the retakes and keeping the last one. All of this is using Muse Spark and Muse Wonder, by the way. It's cutting out the pauses, and then it puts the video together. All right, we got our video back. Now, before we play it, let me show you the before. Lots of dead air. Look at this, 11 minutes long before I get into the tank, all of that stuff. Now, let me show you the video. We need to see if God will help us cool what help you get rid of this thyroid cancer. Pretty good. Now, on the export, it will do the zoomed-in shot. You can see it cut out all the dead space. Tells us how many retakes it cut out. It made sure the cuts were smooth, overlapping each other. Now, I could export this, but if I also wanted to edit some more and give more feedback, we can edit it a little bit more and have a conversation with our editor. So, it says right here, "The editor recommends cutting this part. Do you want to do it?" When I click on it, it takes me right to the transcript. I can see what it already cut out. But, after reading this, I want to leave this in. It says, "Why you leaving this in?" And I'll tell it, "Because this is the only time I actually say the full Bible verse." And then, once I feel like it's in a good spot, I can go to export on the top right, and I can export it as a 16 by 9 and 9 by 16, or export it in a way that I can continue the edit in other programs that I might be familiar with. Let's do the 16 by 9 for now. And so, this version took it from an 11-minute video down to 3 minutes and 16 seconds. I'm excited to continue building in Muse, adding new features, and making this easier for future creators. Let me know if this is something that you think would be helpful for you. See you soon.
