What people search for most.

    How do I compress a video?

    Ask for a smaller file and say what it is for. The agent exports again at a lower bitrate or size, tells you the new file size, and you can ask for smaller still.

    Make this video small enough to email, under 25 MB, and keep it sharp.

    How do I trim a video?

    Say where it should start and end, in seconds or in words: “cut everything before she says hello”. The agent reads the transcript, so it can trim on what is said.

    Trim this so it starts when I say “okay, let’s go” and ends after “see you next time”.

    How do I make jump cuts?

    The agent cuts the pauses and dead air between sentences, on word timings so no word is clipped, and can add a small punch-in at each cut so the jumps look meant.

    How do I cut words, ums and mistakes out of a video?

    How do I fix audio that is out of sync with the video?

    How do I make a video louder?

    The agent raises the level, evens out loud and quiet parts, and measures the result so it lands at the loudness YouTube and TikTok expect without clipping.

    How do I colour correct a video, or fix a dark one?

    Describe the look. The agent grades the clip, brightens what is too dark, matches shots to each other, and checks frames so you can see it before it exports.
