AI Features

Every AI tool built into AIVE ONE Beta — capabilities, usage guides, plan limits, and API access.

AI Capabilities Overview

AIVE ONE Beta integrates AI throughout the editing workflow. The table below summarises every AI feature, its processing mode, and plan availability.

The AI Panel

Press Cmd+Shift+A or click the sparkle icon in the toolbar to open the AI panel. This is your command centre for all AI features.

• AI bar — Type natural language commands at the bottom. Examples: "remove all silence", "make this clip warmer", "add a lower third with my channel name".
• Action buttons — Quick access to Smart Trim, Pacing Coach, Gap Filler, Draft Review, and Color Match.
• Conversation history — Review what the AI has done and undo any changes. Each action is a discrete undo step.
• Suggestions — Context-aware suggestions appear based on your current timeline state.

Smart Edit

How to use

1. Open the AI panel (Cmd+Shift+A).
2. Type a command in the AI bar. Be specific about what you want.
3. Review the proposed changes highlighted on the timeline.
4. Click Apply to execute, or Discard to cancel.

Example commands

• Remove all silence longer than 1 second — Analyses audio waveform and cuts dead air.
• Add cross-dissolves to all cuts — Applies default transitions at every edit point.
• Speed up the middle section by 20% — Applies speed ramp to the selected range.
• Replace the background music with something upbeat — Searches your media library for a matching track.
• Create a 30-second highlight reel — Analyses your footage and assembles the most engaging moments.

AI Color Grading

Auto color correct

Select one or more clips, then click Auto Color in the AI panel or the Color Grade inspector. AIVE ONE Beta analyzes exposure, white balance, and contrast, then applies corrections to bring the footage into a balanced, broadcast-safe range.

AI shot match

Match the color grade of one clip to a reference clip:

1. Select the clip you want to match.
2. In the AI panel, click Shot Match.
3. Click the reference clip in the timeline (the clip whose look you want to copy).
4. AIVE ONE Beta analyzes the color characteristics and applies a match grade. Fine-tune using the intensity slider.

AI style transfer

Apply a cinematic style from a reference image or film still:

1. Import a reference image into the Media Browser.
2. Select the clips you want to grade.
3. In the AI panel, type match color to [reference image name] or drag the reference onto the color inspector.
4. The AI extracts the color palette, contrast curve, and tonal quality from the reference and applies it to your footage.

AI Audio Cleanup

One-click denoise

Select a clip and click AI Denoise in the Audio section of the Inspector. AIVE ONE Beta's neural network identifies and removes background noise (fans, air conditioning, traffic) while preserving speech clarity. No noise profile learning required.

Voice isolation

Separate speech from all other audio sources. Useful for extracting dialogue from noisy environments or removing background music from interviews.

1. Select the clip containing speech.
2. Open the Audio inspector and click Voice Isolation.
3. Adjust the Isolation Strength slider (0-100%). Higher values remove more background audio but may introduce artifacts at extreme settings.
4. Optionally, click Export Stems to save the isolated voice and background as separate files.

De-breath

Automatically detects and attenuates loud breath sounds between speech segments. Reduces breath volume without completely removing them, maintaining a natural sound.

De-hum and de-clip

• De-hum — Removes 50 Hz or 60 Hz electrical hum (and harmonics) with a single click. Select the correct mains frequency for your region.
• De-clip — Repairs audio that was recorded too hot. Works best on moderate clipping. Severe distortion may not be fully recoverable.

AI Generation Features

How to generate titles

1. Open the AI panel and click Generate Title.
2. Select the target platform (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok).
3. Optionally provide keywords or a brief description.
4. AIVE ONE Beta generates 5 title options with predicted click-through rates.
5. Click a title to apply it, or refine with the Regenerate button.

Thumbnail workflow

1. After completing your edit, open the AI panel and click Generate Thumbnail.
2. AIVE ONE Beta scans your timeline for high-energy frames with clear faces and expressions.
3. Select from 4 generated thumbnails, each with different text placement and style.
4. Customize text, font, and layout in the thumbnail editor.
5. Export at the optimal resolution for your platform (1280 x 720 for YouTube).

Pacing Coach & Draft Review

Using the Pacing Coach

1. Open the AI panel and click Pacing Coach.
2. Select your content genre (vlog, tutorial, short film, music video, documentary, etc.).
3. The coach highlights sections on the timeline with color-coded indicators:
   • Blue — well-paced, matches genre benchmarks
   • Yellow — slightly off-pace, consider adjusting
   • Red — significant pacing issues, action recommended
4. Click any highlighted section to see specific suggestions (tighten this section, add a beat, extend the pause, etc.).

Review categories

• Audio — Level consistency, clipping, background noise, loudness compliance (LUFS targets)
• Pacing — Cut rhythm, energy flow, section duration balance
• Visual — Color continuity, exposure jumps, framing consistency
• Technical — Resolution matching, frame rate conflicts, export settings validation

Results appear in the Analysis panel with severity ratings (info, warning, critical). Click any finding to jump to the relevant section in the timeline.

YouTube Channel Learner

Setup

1. Go to Project Settings > YouTube.
2. Connect your YouTube channel via OAuth.
3. The initial analysis takes 2-5 minutes depending on your channel size.
