You're the Director, Not the Intern
Most video editing is "intern work." Moving clips, cutting silences, adjusting volume. It's necessary but brain-numbing.
Cubix gives you an AI intern that never sleeps. But like any intern, you need to know how to ask.
How Agentic Editing Works
You don't push buttons. You state intent. You type or speak what you want, and the agent translates that into actions on the timeline.
Top 5 "Magic" Commands
Here are the most powerful things you can say to Cubix right now:
1. "Clean it up"
Command: "Remove all silences and filler words." Result: The agent scans the audio, creates cuts, deletes dead air, and ripples the timeline close. Minutes of work done in seconds.
2. "Caption this"
Command: "Add captions with the 'Alex Hormozi' style." Result: Transcribes audio, creates text layers, syncs them word-for-word, and applies the bold/shadow/yellow style.
3. "Make it fit"
Command: "Turn this into a vertical video for TikTok keeping me signaled." Result: Changes aspect ratio to 9:16 and uses face tracking to pan the video so you stay in the center.
4. "Highlight the best parts"
Command: "Find the 3 funniest moments and put them at the start." Result: The agent analyzes sentiment and laughter, cuts those clips, and moves them to 0:00 as a hook.
5. "Fix the sound"
Command: "Enhance voice clarity and lower the music when I speak." Result: Applies audio processing and sets up auto-ducking on the music track.
Best Practices for "Prompting"
- Be Specific: Instead of "Make it better," say "Make the cuts faster and add upbeat music."
- Iterate: Use the chat. "That zoom was too fast, make it slower" works perfectly.
- Combine Commands: "Trim the start, add a fade in, and put a title card saying 'Vlog 01'".
The "Human-in-the-Loop"
The agent is fast, but you have the taste.
Use the agent for the rough cut (80% of the work). Then use the manual tools for the final polish (the last 20% that makes it special).
This workflow—AI for structure, Human for style—is how you edit 10x faster without losing your soul.
