How it works
Show it what you want. Then let it build the edit.
You do not have to translate a visual style into a long creative brief. The reference video does that job.
Give it a reference video
Upload a video or paste a supported social-video link. This becomes the visual direction for your edit.
Approve the creative direction
Review the storyboard, still mockups, and motion proofs before the final high-quality render is produced.
One connected workflow
It handles the edit, while you keep control of the result.
Every stage feeds the next, from understanding the reference to delivering the finished video.
Reference DNA analysis
Studies the reference video’s typography, color, pacing, layouts, motion treatments, captions, and visual rhythm.
Content-aware editing
Finds visual opportunities from what the speaker is actually saying instead of forcing graphics into every second.
Reference-matched motion
Builds overlays, full-screen graphics, split layouts, diagrams, and callouts only when supported by the reference.
Caption style matching
Detects whether captions are part of the reference style, then follows their position, casing, emphasis, and timing.
Conservative cleanup
Removes obvious retakes and distracting filler while protecting natural pauses and speech flow.
Audio enhancement
Improves weak, uneven, or noisy audio when needed without aggressively processing audio that is already good.
Three approval gates
See the idea, the look, and the movement before the full render, so surprises are caught early.
Quality-preserving output
Keeps the source resolution and produces the final video at the highest appropriate quality for the footage.
What it learns from the reference
More than a color palette. It studies the complete editing language.
Reference Editor breaks the example into evidence it can use, so the final video carries the details that made the original style feel intentional.
Typography
Font character, weight, capitalization, hierarchy, and the difference between captions and callouts.
Color system
Primary accents, supporting colors, contrast, glow, shadows, and how treatments adapt to your footage.
Composition
Overlay positions, full-screen layouts, split screens, spacing, safe zones, and presenter visibility.
Motion lifecycle
When a graphic enters, what reveals first, how it develops, how long it holds, and why it exits.
Editing rhythm
How often the reference uses a visual, where it leaves breathing room, and how treatments vary over time.
Caption behavior
Coverage, placement, phrase timing, emphasis, casing, and when captions should be suppressed.
Reference in. Editing language out.
The reference guides the style. Your content guides the decisions.
Reference Editor separates what the video says from how the reference expresses ideas visually. That creates an edit that feels familiar without forcing the wrong graphic onto your message.
THE OLD WAY
Describe every detail manually
- Explain fonts, colors, timing, and layouts
- Hope the editor understands the style
- Find visual mismatches after rendering
- Repeat the same creative brief next time
WITH REFERENCE EDITOR
Give it the example you already love
- Reference style analyzed from real evidence
- Visuals selected for the meaning of each idea
- Creative choices reviewed before rendering
- A fresh analysis for every new project
One editor, different formats
Your video type changes what it looks for, not how you have to work.
Reference Editor reads the footage, transcript, format, and reference together. It adapts the visual opportunities instead of locking you into a preset editing category.
Talking-head videos
Turn advice, commentary, and educational footage into a more visual viewing experience.
Short-form content
Match portrait captions, platform-safe placement, and fast visual pacing from a reference.
Tutorials and explainers
Clarify steps, comparisons, processes, and key ideas with relevant visuals.
Interviews and documentaries
Add editorial structure and visual support while protecting the speaker-led moments.
Product and brand videos
Carry a proven visual language into new footage without rebuilding the style brief every time.
Mixed-format projects
Combine clips, talking heads, screenshots, and demonstrations into one coherent edit.
Edited with restraint
It knows what to add. It also knows what to leave alone.
A reference-driven edit should feel designed, not crowded. These safeguards keep the visual style connected to the message and the person delivering it.
Keeps the presenter visible
A visual appears when it improves understanding. Presenter-led moments stay clean when the message needs a human face.
Stays inside the reference language
The editor does not manufacture a style just to create variety. Every treatment must be supported by the reference.
Matches meaning before decoration
Graphics are tied to the idea being explained, then timed so the visual lands with the words instead of arriving too early or staying too long.
Approval before commitment
See the important decisions before the expensive render begins.
The storyboard explains what will be edited. Mockups show the final visual state. Motion proofs show how selected graphics move. The final render begins after those creative decisions are approved.

Questions a reference can’t answer for you.
What is Reference Editor?+
Reference Editor is an AI video editor that uses a reference video to guide the visual style of a new edit. You provide your footage and an example whose editing you like. It analyzes that example, plans the new edit, and renders the finished video after your approvals.
Do I need a brand guide?+
No. A reference video is the main creative direction. You can still provide a logo, font, or brand colors when you want to, but you do not need a complete brand guide.
Can I use a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook link?+
Supported public social-video links can be used as references. If a platform blocks access to a particular video, you can upload the reference file directly.
Will it copy the reference exactly?+
It learns the reference’s editing language and applies the closest suitable treatments to your own content. It does not blindly place the same graphic at the same timestamp, because your footage may explain different ideas.
Does it edit every kind of video?+
It is designed for talking-head, faceless, educational, documentary, interview, product, tutorial, short-form, and mixed-format footage. The source content decides where visuals are useful. The reference decides how those visuals should feel.
Will it add captions?+
When captions are part of the reference style, Reference Editor can reproduce a closely matched caption system. You can also ask to keep captions off particular full-screen graphics.
Does it clean and enhance audio?+
Yes, when the source needs it. Obvious retakes and distracting filler can be removed conservatively, and weak audio can receive light enhancement. Good source audio is left alone.
Can I review the edit before the final render?+
Yes. The workflow includes a storyboard, still mockups, and motion proofs. These checkpoints let you correct the creative direction before the full-quality video is rendered.
Will my video keep its original quality?+
The final output follows the source resolution whenever practical, including 4K footage. The renderer avoids unnecessary quality reduction.
