EDIT BY TYPING

Just tell Zella what to do. It does the editing.

Type what you want in plain English and Zella’s built-in AI assistant does it — cut the silences, add captions, make it vertical for TikTok, drop a whoosh on that cut, export in 4K. The whole toolset, driven by chat — and it’s free: bring your own key, and free providers work out of the box.

  • Plain-English editing — "remove the dead air, add captions, and make it vertical" runs the whole chain for you
  • Content-aware cuts — "cut the part where I fumble the intro" finds it in the transcript and removes it
  • It can see your video — ask "is my face centered?" or "is it too dark?" and it checks the frame on-device
  • Auto B-Roll — "add b-roll" places matching stock clips from your captions automatically (free Pexels key)
  • Adds music, 30 built-in sound effects, titles, callouts and logos on command
  • Bring your own key (Groq, Gemini, Cerebras and Ollama are free) — keys stay in your Mac’s Keychain, nothing is uploaded by Zella
