Upload your footage and describe the finished video in plain language: the length, what to keep, what to remove and any captions or colour look. The editor makes the cuts for you and returns a finished file. If it is close but not right, ask for a change in the same way.
Step 1 of 5
Add the raw footage. Terminal Clip accepts MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI.
Step 2 of 5
Say what the finished video should be: its length, the point, and any captions, colour or fades you want.
Step 3 of 5
The edit runs on its own. You can leave the page and come back to download the finished video.
Step 4 of 5
Watch it once through and note anything to change.
Step 5 of 5
Use Edit again to request a revision in plain language, such as “shorter intro” or “bigger captions”.
A good request names the outcome and a few constraints. “Cut the filler words, add captions and make it 60 seconds” is clear. “Make it better” is not, because there is nothing to act on.
Mention anything you must keep, such as a specific quote or a demo, so it is not cut by accident.
Prompt-based editing suits cutting, tightening, captions and colour. If you need frame-exact control, custom motion design or a complex multi-layer composite, a traditional editor is still the better choice.
No. If you can describe what you want to a person, you can describe it to Terminal Clip.
Yes. Each finished video has an Edit again option that starts from that version, so you do not upload the footage again.
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV and AVI, up to 10 files per edit and 500 MB per file.
Prompt-based video editing explained: how it differs from a timeline editor, what it is good at, and where it falls short.
A simple structure for cutting a long recording down to a short video, and how to describe the edit so it comes out right the first time.
