Most clip tools read the transcript and cut around the words. Guin watches the footage itself: who is in the frame, what is happening, and which moments matter. That is why a request like “the best moments from the food tour” works without tags, labels, or timestamps.

​
What happens after you upload

Every file you upload is prepared automatically, before you ask for anything.
1

It makes the file easy to work with

Guin creates a lightweight copy for smooth playback in the browser and keeps your original for full-quality export.
2

It transcribes the audio

Speech is transcribed with word-level timing and speaker detection. This powers captions, transcript search, and cuts that land between words.
3

It finds the shots

Guin detects where the camera cuts and picks representative frames, so it can reason about shots and not only about sentences.
4

It watches and listens

Guin notes what it sees in each shot and what it hears beyond speech. It then writes a chaptered summary of the whole file.
You will see these stages on a file while it is being prepared: processing footage, transcribing, analyzing footage, finding shots, then Ready.

​
How an edit gets made

Once your footage is ready, you ask for what you need. Guin works in the open and checks in before it commits.
  1. It reads your request against the footage. It searches the transcript, the visuals, and the audio for moments that fit.
  2. It proposes a plan. You see what it intends to make before anything is cut. In the Smart Editor the button is Approve & build.
  3. It builds the cut. It chooses the moments, trims them, frames each shot for your canvas, and adds captions.
  4. You review. Ask for changes in plain words, or make them yourself in the editor. Nothing is posted anywhere. You export when you are happy.
Everything in your edit comes from footage you filmed. Guin does not generate synthetic video.
