AI video editing: a guide to the five agents
A practical guide to AI video editing: what the five agents do and how to brief them.
AI video editing works best when it is organized like a post-production team: each specialist has one craft, and all of them share one brief. Kaviyan is built that way. Five AI agents (Cut, Hue, Nova, Echo and Flow) work inside the editing software you already use, on your own timeline. This guide explains what each agent does, how to brief them, and where a human editor should still make the call.
What AI video editing does, and what it leaves to you
An AI video editor is strongest at the first pass and the repeated pass: assembling selects, matching shots, cleaning audio, resizing for another format. It does not decide what the story is. In Kaviyan every cut, grade and effect the agents make stays fully editable, so the editor keeps the final word on each one.
The five agents and their crafts
Cut, the editing agent
Cut builds the rough cut from your footage, trims dead air and tightens the pacing, shot by shot. Give it the running time and the order of ideas. It returns an assembly you can rearrange.
Hue, the color agent
Hue balances exposure, matches shots from different cameras and applies the grade. Point it at a reference frame or a saved look, and it carries that look across the whole timeline.
Nova, the generation agent
Nova creates new shots and scenes from a prompt. Use it for the insert you forgot to film, a background plate or a transition shot. Describe the lens, the light and the movement as you would to a camera operator.
Echo, the sound agent
Echo cleans dialogue, balances levels and mixes music under the voice. It handles the pass most projects leave for last, so the first review already sounds finished.
Flow, the motion agent
Flow animates titles, captions and transitions in your fonts and colors. It then exports up to 4K at 60fps, sized for every major social platform.
Three ways to brief the agents
The same five agents take a brief in three forms, and you can switch between them at any point in a project.
A template: start from a finished structure and replace the footage.
A sentence: describe the video in plain words, such as “a 30 second product teaser with fast cuts and bold captions”.
A script: paste the script, and the agents build the edit around it line by line.
A good brief names the audience, the length, the format and one reference. Leave out adjectives that a camera could not record.
A first project, step by step
Import. Drop in your footage, or let Nova generate the shots you are missing.
Edit. Ask Cut for a rough cut, then move, swap and trim until the story holds.
Enhance. Run Hue for the grade and Echo for the sound.
Ship. Let Flow add titles and motion, then export for each channel.
Run one agent or all five on the same timeline. Each agent picks up where the last one left off, so nothing is exported or rebuilt between steps.
Where the editor still decides
Agents are fast at drafts and consistent at repetition. Taste remains a human job. Watch the opening five seconds yourself, check every generated shot against the brand, and listen to the mix on a phone speaker before it ships. Teams that keep those three checks get the speed without losing their voice.
You do not need to know how to edit video to start. The free plan includes unlimited drafts and watermark-free exports up to 1080p, which is enough to finish a first project and judge the result.
