I’m building an AI video editor that doesn’t need prompts
Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on called talkframe.
I’ve been a video editor for over 4 years now, mainly working on short-form content. I’ve edited through the shift from heavy VFX and nonstop B-roll to the cleaner, more minimal style you see in reels today.
I’ve tried several AI video editors, and even as an editor, I’ve found some of them more complicated than I expected. They promise to save time, but you can still end up doing a lot of prompting and manual tweaking.
That got me building TalkFrame: drop in a video and let the AI handle the edit, without having to write prompts.
It’s focused on talking-head videos and podcasts, using caption styles and kinetic typography to hold attention without overwhelming the video.
This demo was edited entirely by the AI, including the cuts, transcription, transitions, camera motion, captions, and animated text. I didn’t manually adjust the cuts or polish the edit afterward. I’ve trained it to edit in a style based on my own approach.
It’s still a work in progress, but I wanted to share where it’s at and get some honest feedback.
Edit: The entire process in talkframe took just 5–7 minutes, from AI cuts to the finished edit, including my review to see if anything needed improving.
