Having the skills to edit clips is only one part of creating a quality video. Writing and sourcing the content is also a time-consuming task.
On Tuesday, startup Augie (formerly Aug X Labs) commercially launched Augie Studio to simplify video editing. The comprehensive studio is designed to help users create videos by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) models, commercially licensed content, predictive algorithms and more to address the complexities of video editing platforms like Adobe Premiere Pro.

Augie Studio helps automate nearly every task in the video editing process, including generating scripts, producing lifelike voice-over narration, sourcing commercially safe content from Getty Images, assembling B-roll clips to align with your script, and generating automatic captions.
We use large language models from leading companies, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, Stable Diffusion, AWS, and more. These models are neatly packaged in the Augie interface, allowing users to get started on one platform rather than having to choose between different AI tools on their own.
During a product demo, Augie CEO Jeremy Toeman compared learning a complex tool like Premiere to editing a short video to taking a helicopter ride to the grocery store, which is completely unnecessary. Seeing Augie Studio in action, I could see the potential he was talking about.
Plus, Vyond's video generator adds AI that businesses will love. Give it a try.
As someone who edits video for work and pleasure, I was fascinated by Augie Studio's ability to assemble a video timeline to fit a script using relevant B-roll from Getty Images.
Finding, downloading, importing, and cutting B-roll takes time. Doing all of this manually may be convenient if you're making an award-winning film, but it may not be necessary for a 60-second video.
Augie Studio allows you to replace videos that don't fit your story with a simple keyword search without the need for trimming or cutting, or you can upload your content and use Magic Search to find the specific clips or actions you need within it.
Adobe will also make it possible to create AI-generated images in PDFs for free.
ZDNET plans to test Augie Studio thoroughly in the future, but in the meantime, if you want to try out the tool for yourself, you can try it for free with the Lite plan, which has some limitations, such as a maximum of 60 seconds of video, 2 minutes of video generation per month, and no access to premium content.
The Premium plan, costing $34 per month, includes features such as 2-minute video generation, 10 total minutes of video creation per month, access to premium content (Getty Images), AI scripting, voice library, Magic Search, etc. The Enterprise plan offers additional benefits, please contact our sales team if you are interested.
