Hire your AI Video Editor
Raw footage goes in. Published, subtitled, platform-ready clips come out.
Your AI video editor takes raw footage — Zoom recordings, webcam loops, podcast video, screen captures — and ships publish-ready clips for YouTube, TikTok, Shorts, and LinkedIn. It cuts filler, adds subtitles, picks thumbnails, writes descriptions, and schedules distribution. You record once; the editor ships everywhere.

Frequently asked questions
How good are the automatic cuts compared to a human editor?
For short-form — 30-to-90-second clips from podcasts, talking-heads, and screen recordings — the AI editor is at roughly human-junior-editor quality by default, and human-senior quality after a month of your corrections tuning its taste. For complex long-form edits with multiple source cameras, b-roll, and motion graphics, it's not a full replacement for a senior editor yet. Most Tycoon founders use the AI editor to ship 80% of their catalog — the short-form distribution layer — and keep a human editor for big-launch long-form pieces. The cost ratio makes this overwhelmingly positive even at imperfect parity.
What about brand voice — will it feel robotic?
Brand voice lives in three places: the transcript selection (which clips to cut), the copy (titles, descriptions, hashtags), and the visual rhythm (cut speed, zoom styles, caption fonts). You train each of these once. Point the editor at your best 5 historical clips, tell it what made them work, and it maintains that style going forward. Every time you reject a draft, it asks what changed your mind and updates its taste memory. Within two weeks the AI editor's output is usually indistinguishable from something you would have shipped yourself — and it ships 10x the volume.
Can it handle multiple brands or channels?
Yes — multi-brand is a first-class feature. Each brand gets its own voice profile, platform list, cadence, and thumbnail style. The AI editor can run a personal founder channel, a company channel, and a side-project channel in parallel without bleeding styles between them. Founders running multiple businesses often set this up: one editor serves all three, reporting to the AI CEO which coordinates content calendars across brands. See our /workflows/content-calendar page for how this interacts with the broader content stack.
How does this compare to Opus Clip or Descript alone?
Opus Clip and Descript are excellent individual tools — Opus Clip does AI cutdowns, Descript does transcript-driven editing. The AI video editor inside Tycoon orchestrates these tools with judgment: it picks the right cutter for each source, adjusts for your brand voice, decides distribution, writes copy, and reports back to the AI CEO weekly. It's the difference between owning a hammer and having a carpenter. Most founders keep their Opus Clip and Descript subscriptions and let Tycoon's editor drive them alongside its own transcript and captioning capabilities.
What does the AI video editor cost to run?
Operating cost depends on volume. A founder shipping 10 clips a week typically spends $40-$120/month on AI model calls for transcription, editing, and copy, plus whatever the connected tools cost (Opus Clip ~$20/mo, Descript ~$24/mo). Compare that to a human junior editor at $3,000-$5,000/month or a video agency retainer at $8,000+/month. The economics are roughly the same shape as every other AI role on Tycoon: 1-2% of human cost with better consistency and throughput, especially for short-form volume.
