Keep the edit in Premiere. Skip the assembly.
You are not going to hand your edit to an “AI video editor”, and you should not. But the first pass — watching six hours to find the good takes — is not editing. It is the job that used to belong to an assistant.
NinjaClip does that pass and hands you a timeline: cuts in place, captions as .srt, the reframing already applied as scale and position on every clip, a .cube with the grade, and the person matte as a luma matte. Your original files, untouched.
Cutting pauses is free and needs no account.
How it works
This is what happens the moment you open a recording, before you decide anything.
What you get
Every one of these is a switch. Turn on what this video needs and leave the rest alone.
Hand it to a real editor
Export the timeline as XML/EDL/SRT for Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci — with the reframing, a .cube of the grade, and the person matte.
The AI reads what was said
False starts, repeated lines and off-script chatter are flagged one by one, for you to approve or keep.
Pauses cut automatically
Silence, hesitation and dead air are removed in the browser, before anything is uploaded. Free, no account.
Reframing that follows the face
16:9, 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 from one recording. The crop tracks whoever is speaking, one framing per take.
Colour measured on your footage
White balance, levels and contrast from your own material, plus looks. Two cameras are matched to each other first.
Person separated from background
Blur it or push it back so the speaker comes forward. The desktop app uses a heavier model for this.
Questions
The ones people ask before trying it.
Can I finish the edit in Premiere or DaVinci?
Yes. Export a package with the cut timeline as .xml, .fcpxml and .edl, captions as .srt, the reframing already applied as scale and position on each clip, and a .cube with the colour. The desktop app adds the person matte.
What does NinjaClip do?
It removes silence and hesitation, reads the transcript to flag false starts and repeated lines, generates captions in sync, reframes 16:9 footage to 9:16, 4:5 or 1:1 following the speaker, levels the voice, corrects colour, adds a soundtrack that ducks under speech, and exports the finished video or a timeline for Premiere, Final Cut and DaVinci.
What files can I open?
Whatever your browser opens: MP4 and MOV in H.264 or HEVC, and WebM. You can drop several files at once and they become one video, in the order you picked them.
How long can the video be?
Up to 30 minutes of combined footage per project in the browser — the ceiling is the browser's memory during export, not a plan limit. The desktop app has no ceiling.
Is NinjaClip free?
Cutting pauses is free and needs no account. Captions, take selection, soundtrack and export need a free account, because they use a server — five videos a month while the beta lasts.
Does NinjaClip work in the browser?
Yes. Editing runs entirely in the browser and your video file is read straight from your computer — it is never uploaded. Producing the final file works in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox; Firefox writes WebM instead of MP4.
