What is EditFast? (And Why I Built It)
Let's Cut the BS About Video Editing
You see the polished videos online. You think, "I can do that." Then you open a traditional video editor, and reality hits. Timelines. Keyframes. Effects panels. Hours evaporate into clicking, tweaking, and re-rendering.
I know because I lived it. I burned out trying to keep up, wrestling with software that felt like it was actively working against me. I realized the tools weren't built for the speed and iteration needed today.
That's why I built EditFast.
It started as a personal project to fix my own workflow. My goal wasn't to just clone existing editors; it was to fundamentally change the process of editing, especially for content creators who need to move fast.
More Than Just a Timeline and Canvas
Sure, EditFast has the core features you expect:
- Intuitive Timeline: Add video, audio, images, and text. Easily trim, split, and arrange clips.
- Interactive Canvas: See your changes live. Directly manipulate elements – resize, rotate, reposition.
- Keyframe Animation: Animate properties like position, scale, opacity over time.
- Effects & Transitions: Apply visual effects and transitions.
- Reliable State: Built for a snappy, responsive feel, so the interface always keeps up with you.
- Undo/Redo: A robust history system so you can experiment freely.
But if that's all it was, I wouldn't have bothered. The real game-changer, the core reason EditFast exists, is the integrated AI Agent.
The AI Agent: Your Editing Co-Pilot
This is where EditFast truly differs. I didn't want AI as an afterthought or a separate tool. I built it right into the editor's core.
What does it do?
- Understands Natural Language: You talk to it via a chat interface. Tell it what you want to achieve in plain English (e.g., "Make this intro text pop").
- Plans and Executes: The AI analyzes your request, breaks it down into concrete steps, and then performs those actions directly on your timeline and canvas. It interacts with the same underlying systems that you do when editing manually.
- Automates Tedious Tasks: Complex animations, repetitive adjustments, applying consistent styles – things that take minutes of clicking can often be done with a single command.
- Works Safely: Before the AI makes changes, EditFast automatically saves a checkpoint. If you don't like the result, one click reverts everything. This encourages you to leverage the AI without fear.
Built for Speed, Powered by AI
I built EditFast because I believe creating video content shouldn't feel like a chore. The AI Agent is designed to handle the repetitive, time-consuming parts of editing, freeing you up to focus on creativity and storytelling.
It's not about replacing the editor; it's about augmenting your abilities. It's the editor I always wished I had.
If you're tired of fighting your tools and want to see how AI can genuinely speed up your workflow, maybe EditFast is what you've been looking for.
