Edison: Say Goodbye to Video Editing
Primary Purpose and Problem Solved:
Edison is an AI-powered tool designed to automate the video editing process for talking videos. It addresses the common challenges faced by content creators who spend significant time and effort on manual video editing tasks, specifically related to removing silence, filler words, and generating captions.
Key Features and Capabilities:
- Automated Editing: Edison analyzes talking videos to identify and remove silence and filler words.
- Auto Subtitle & Captions: The tool automatically generates subtitles and captions for videos. This functionality relies on a traditional ASR-based approach, adapting with each video to improve accuracy.
- Format Generation: Edison formats videos optimized for platforms like Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.
- Adaptive Learning: Edison’s core functionality utilizes a “personalized learning layer” that continually adapts to the user's speech patterns, phrasing, and caption corrections. This results in captions that more accurately reflect the user’s natural flow and tone.
- Multimodal Agent: Edison operates as a multimodal agent, utilizing audio tone and pause detection, visual cues like facial pauses, eye contact, and gestures, and contextual reasoning across the entire speech.
Target Audience and Use Cases:
Edison is targeted at content creators who produce talking videos, including those creating TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, solo podcasts, or thought leadership videos. It is intended for individuals who want to present their best audio while minimizing the need for extensive manual video editing skills.
Technical Approach:
Edison employs a system of continuous learning. It processes audio, detecting pauses, and matching the user's tone. It incorporates visual cues and contextual reasoning to achieve greater accuracy. The system relies on a traditional ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) methodology, but with an adaptive learning layer that improves over time based on user feedback and corrections.
