What is Narrative?
Narrative is an AI-first video editor that assembles footage based on natural language instructions. Users upload clips and describe the desired edit through a conversational interface rather than manual timeline adjustments. The tool is available via web and iOS app, with free access to start.
What are the features of Narrative?
- Conversational editingUsers type instructions like "cut on the beat" or "remove the ums," and the agent reads the footage, makes the cut, and reports its actions.
- Version historyEvery conversational turn or manual change saves a new version, allowing users to step back to any previous state.
- Processing tiersThree speed options handle different workloads: Fast for quick cuts, Balanced for most edits, and Max for long footage or complex briefs.
- Aspect ratio reframingProjects can switch between 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, and 4:5, with options such as stacking both speakers vertically.
- Integrated workspaceTranscripts, captions, versions, framing controls, and the conversational interface exist within a single editable timeline.
