Lua for editors

Skip the assembly. Keep the craft.

Most of an edit is assembly, not craft. Lua does the first pass — retakes cut, captions timed, b-roll placed — on a real timeline. You start where the work gets good.

What should we change?

I edit the timeline the same way you do. Every change undoes with ⌘Z.

Sound familiar?

Most of the day isn’t editing.

Assembly

“Forty minutes of footage for a forty-second reel.”

Scrubbing every take to find the one where the client didn’t stumble takes most of the day. None of it is editing.

Lua’s first pass

Captions

“Captions eat the hour I wanted for the hook.”

Re-timing words after every trim. Restyling the same template for the same client, again.

HERE’S WHY

After a trim

Update captionsRe-timed to the new cut
Done

Open timeline

“AI tools hand me a video I can’t open up.”

When the auto-edit is wrong, it’s a flat file. You start over in your own editor anyway.

Captions
B-roll
Takes

Every clip Lua made — click one

Every AI change

A normal edit on these tracks. One ⌘Z undoes it.

The first pass is Lua’s. The cut is yours.

Every cut, caption and clip Lua makes is a real layer. These are the real app screens — click around.

The assembly, done.

Lua reads every take, keeps the cleanest delivery of each line, and cuts the retakes and gaps. Cut words stay in the transcript. Bring one back with a click, or swap the line to another take.

  • Edit the cut from the transcript
  • Add a forgotten clip anywhere

A client’s look, learned once.

Show Lua a few reels from the client’s feed. It learns the pace, the caption look and the b-roll. Every new reel for that client starts there.

  • The style steers the cut, the b-roll and the AI
  • Pick the style per project

A day with Lua

Three steps. You keep the last one.

The part your clients notice is the part you still do.

1

Drop in the footage

The client’s takes, their b-roll, their music, and the script if they sent one. One upload screen.

2

Check Lua’s first pass

The cut, captions and b-roll are on the timeline. Each step leaves a note of what it did.

3

Do the part they pay you for

The hook, the pacing, the punch-ins. Ask the AI chat for the busywork. Export when it’s yours.

Which plan

Pro fits an editor with a client or two.

32 reels a month is a reel a day for one client, or a few a week for each of two or three.
