§ VIDEO EDITING BY TEXT · BETA

Trim your video with plain words — the numbers stay yours

Send a clip to the bot, press “Video editing” and write what to do with it: “remove the part from 2:30 to 2:48”, “drop the first thirty seconds”, “keep 0:12 to 1:05”. No editing software, no syntax to memorise. The neural network is only here to understand the request — the seconds and the cuts are computed by ordinary software, so the numbers you name stay yours.

Promo access opens every Flowmark tool for 30 days — editing, cropping, branding, transcription and more. Right in Telegram and MAX.

The clip was shot for this demo — three failed takes in a row. The pale bands on the timeline are where the person is speaking; the bot marks them itself so it never cuts mid-word. Inside the bot everything works the same way, except you type your own sentence instead of tapping a button.

§ 01 · When you need it

Most of the time a video doesn’t need editing — it needs fixing

Cutting the “testing, testing” at the start. Dropping the pause while someone searched for a word. Removing the bit where a stranger walked into frame. Joining two takes because the good ending was in the first one and the good opening in the second.

For those ten seconds you normally have to open an editor, wait for the import, hunt for the right spot on the track and then wrestle with export settings. Flowmark handles it inside the chat instead: you describe the result in words, the bot shows you what you are going to get, and sends back the finished file.

It also works when there is more than one source: send several clips as an album or via /batch and describe the assembly order in an ordinary sentence.

§ 02 · Several clips

“Second one first, then the first” is instruction enough

Sources can be referred to the way people actually talk: “the first video”, “from the second up to 0:47”, “the third one in full”. Internally each keeps its own number, so the order never gets mixed up — even when the files have identical names.

The numbers inside the highlighted parts show the order in the finished clip, not the order of the sources. The bot works the same way: it first sends you what the result will be, and only assembles the video once you agree.

§ 03 · How it works

There is a neural network here — but it isn’t the thing cutting your video

The neural network in this tool does exactly one job: work out what you meant when you wrote a sentence in plain words. Everything else — listening to the recording, finding the boundaries, counting the seconds and assembling the video — is done by ordinary software, each piece at its own step. Here is the whole path from your message to the finished clip.

  1. You write a request

    Plain text in the chat, the way you would write it to a colleague: “remove 2:30 to 2:48”.

  2. The bot listens to the recording and looks at it

    Separate programs transcribe the speech down to the word, mark where someone is talking and where the pauses are, and find the places where the clip had already been cut before.

    speech · pauses · existing cuts

  3. The neural network works out what you want

    The only step it takes part in. It answers the question “keep or remove, and what exactly” — and it can only refer to things that were actually found at the previous step: a specific word, phrase or scene. Anything invented fails the check and is thrown away.

    if you named exact seconds, this step is skipped

  4. Ordinary software counts the seconds

    It turns the understanding into precise boundaries, moves a cut away from the middle of a word where needed, and verifies: are all the named parts there, is the order intact, is there a quarter-second stub left at a seam.

  5. The bot shows you what you are going to get

    A short breakdown arrives straight in the chat: which parts remain, where the cuts will be and why a boundary moved. You can accept it, or correct it with the next message: “start a second earlier”.

  6. The video is assembled

    The parts are cut and joined, the audio is matched in length. If you asked for a vertical frame, automatic cropping steps in here too.

Your numbers stay yours

Name exact seconds and the video is cut precisely along them. The neural network simply isn’t allowed to rewrite them.

A moved boundary is visible straight away

If a cut was nudged half a second so a word wouldn’t be chopped, the bot shows both figures — yours and the resulting one — and explains why.

Changed your mind? Just say so

“Drop the second part”, “start a bit earlier”. What you have already agreed on with the bot isn’t lost in the process.

§ 04 · What you can write

There is no format to memorise

Timecodes in almost any notation

0:45, 1.20, “from second 12 to 30”, “the first minute and a half”, “to the end”. The bot parses it and shows how it read your request.

Keep or remove

“Keep 0:12 to 1:05” and “remove 0:12 to 1:05” are opposite instructions, and the difference is read from the wording — not from a checkbox in settings.

Several parts at once

“Remove 0:30 to 0:42 and 2:10 to 2:25” — the bot takes both ranges into account and shows them in the chat before it starts assembling.

A reference to words, not to seconds

“Keep the part where he talks about pricing”, “remove everything after he says ‘that’s all for today’”. Here the bot transcribes the speech first and finds the spot itself.

Assembly order in words

“Third one first, then the first, and from the second take the start up to 0:47.” Source numbers follow the order you sent them in.

“Keep the most important parts, up to two minutes”

No numbers needed: the bot works out what the recording is about and offers several meaningful versions of the edit — shorter or more detailed. Then you review the plan and adjust it in words, as usual.

Framing along the way

In the same message you can ask for a vertical frame and no black bars: the bot will edit the clip and immediately re-frame it, keeping the right thing in shot.

§ 05 · Limits

What the tool does not do

So there are no false expectations — here is what it does not attempt. This is a deliberate choice rather than a “not yet”: it trims and joins, it does not invent.

It does not build montage “edits” — no picking a soundtrack, no cutting to the beat, no inventing a narrative. It adds no effects or transitions: cuts are straight, without flashes or dissolves. It does not generate video or music and does not retouch the image — for pictures there is a separate AI editor.

Still beta — and we say so

The tool is already useful in real work, but an unusual request can still trip it up. That is stated inside the bot as well, not only here.

If something is off

The bot offers the /report_auto_tools command — it attaches the technical details of the last operation to your report, so the fix arrives sooner. Writing to support works too.

Editing is part of Flowmark

The same bot can recrop a clip to a vertical format, put a logo on it, compress it for a platform limit or transcribe the speech — the whole media workflow in one place:

§ 06 · Frequently asked

The short answers

Do timecodes need a special format?

No. 0:45, 1.20, “from second 12 to 30”, “the first minute and a half” — the bot reads almost any notation and shows how it understood you.

Can the bot rewrite my timecodes?

No. The seconds you name are kept as given: the neural network is only there to understand the request, while the numbers, the order of the parts and the cuts are computed by ordinary software.

The bot may move a boundary by a fraction of a second — so a word isn’t cut in half, or a stub isn’t left at a seam. It then shows both figures, yours and the resulting one, and explains why. “Strictly my timecodes” restores the original.

Can several clips be merged into one?

Yes. Send them as an album or via /batch, press “Video editing” and describe the order in words: “third one first, then the first, and from the second take the start up to 0:47”.

What if I don’t remember the timecode?

You can point at the speech or at what happens: “keep the part where he talks about pricing”, “cut the beginning while he is silent”. The bot then reads the recording first — transcribing the speech and marking the scenes — and that is a separate paid step (1 credit per minute, minimum 1) announced before it starts.

Will it cut me a montage to music?

No. The tool does not build “edits”, pick soundtracks, add effects or transitions, or generate video. It trims and joins carefully — no more and no less.

What happens to audio at the cuts?

At every seam the audio fades to silence within hundredths of a second and comes back just as fast — a short audio transition that keeps the cut from clicking. Duration is not eaten away in the process: audio and video stay exactly the same length, even across a long sequence of cuts.

What does it cost?

2 credits per minute of source video; re-rendering the same material costs half. If the bot has to find the right part from your words, that adds 1 credit per minute. The promo link opens 30 days of extended access.

Why beta?

Because unusual phrasings can still trip it up, and it is fairer to say so upfront. If the result isn’t right, the bot offers the /report_auto_tools command — it attaches the technical details of the last operation to your report, so the fix comes faster.

Try it on your own clip

Open Flowmark, send a video, press “Video editing” and write in words how it should be edited.
