From shot list to finished videos, in one app

One project carries a shoot from plan to export. You direct; InstantEditor does the cutting.

  1. 1

    Plan the shoot

    A cited fact sheet from the window sticker, press kit or web. What viewers actually search for. A script outline and a printable shot list.

  2. 2

    Edit it for you

    Point it at your footage folder, any number of cameras. It labels every clip, proposes the videos the footage supports, and cuts the review and the Shorts.

  3. 3

    Review like a director

    Send notes in plain English ("Short 3 cuts off my face") and get a new version with a reply to each note. Or edit it yourself on a CapCut-style timeline.

  4. 4

    Publish

    Full-quality exports for YouTube, Shorts, TikTok and Instagram, plus titles, chapters, tags and captions for every video.

Built for the way reviews actually work

Generic AI editors hand you a rough cut. InstantEditor knows a review lives or dies on its facts and its search traffic.

Fact-checked against the spec sheet

Every number on screen is checked against your sources. Anything doubtful comes to you as a question before it goes live, and it remembers your answers.

Planned around what people search for

How-to Shorts that answer real searches keep earning views for years. InstantEditor finds those questions for your car and plans them into the shoot.

The review and the Shorts from one shoot

One footage folder, every video it supports: the long-form review, drive videos and vertical Shorts with word-by-word captions, reusing clips across them.

Your footage stays on your Mac

Clips are transcribed and labeled on your computer and never uploaded. Only text, like transcripts and clip labels, goes to the AI. Your files are linked, never moved or renamed.

“I love making car videos. Editing them is another story. One car shoot usually means one long video, five Shorts and eight-plus hours of editing. I built InstantEditor because I wanted that time back, while keeping control of the final result.”
