Automated video editing
Automated video editing, with no timeline to touch
Editing is where most videos stall. Nilav skips the timeline entirely: it plans the video scene by scene and edits it automatically around the narration.

How it works
- 01
Type a topic
One line is enough: a question, a product, a lesson. Add facts or a call to action if you have them.
- 02
AI writes, voices and illustrates
OpenAI writes a hook-first script sized to your length, a natural narrator reads it, and each key scene gets an illustration.

Download the MP4
Motion graphics, word-by-word captions and a music bed are rendered into a 1080p video, ready for YouTube, Shorts, Reels or TikTok.
What the editor does for you
- Times every scene to its narration, with natural pauses between them
- Reveals list items and steps as they are spoken
- Burns in word-by-word captions that highlight the current word
- Animates stats, comparisons and quotes
- Adds a gentle zoom to illustrations and smooth transitions between scenes
- Mixes a royalty-free music bed that drops under the voice and swells in the gaps
Re-edit for free
Once a video is written and voiced, rendering it again (in another shape, for example) costs nothing, because the narration and illustrations are saved with the video.
Questions
- Can I edit a single scene by hand?
- Not yet. You can read the full script before downloading and regenerate the video with a refined brief; scene-level editing is on the roadmap.
- Is the music copyright-free?
- Yes. The music is generated for each video, so there is nothing licensed in it to be claimed.
