Narrative is an AI video editor. Describe the edit you want in plain words and Narrative cuts your footage, builds the timeline and hands back a finished draft you can still prompt and change.* HOW IT WORKS 1. Import clips straight from your camera roll. 2. Tell Narrative what you want: "make a 30 second highlight reel," "add captions and a title," "tighten the pacing and drop the dead air."* 3. Watch the edit land on your timeline, then tweak anything by hand or ask for another pass.* BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO POST Narrative was made for creators who edit on their phone and post often: sports highlights, montages, short-form edits, talking-head clips. You get a real multitrack timeline with video, text, graphics, transitions and music, not a template you have to fit your footage into. If you have ideas or questions, email us at team@usenarrative.ai. *TIMELINE EDITING, AI EDITING, AND EXPORTS REQUIRE A NARRATIVE SUBSCRIPTION.
