How to revise an edit with chat

After the first cut, keep editing by typing what you want changed. Novacut edits the same timeline you see, so you can mix chat requests with editing by hand.

Steps

1. Type a change in the box under the chat, for example "Hold the bedroom shot a little longer and drop the staircase."
2. Press Enter. Editing pauses while Novacut works and unlocks when the reply finishes.
3. Read the reply. It says exactly what changed.
4. Review the preview. If you don't like it, click Undo: the whole chat change is undone in one step.

Things you can ask for

• Structure: "Make the intro shorter", "Move the customer quote to the end", "Cut the tangent about pricing."
• Footage: "Use the close-up when she's answering", "Put more b-roll over the explanation."
• Look and sound: "Add a warm filter", "Lower the music under speech", "Reduce the background noise."
• Graphics: "Add a title for the first 3 seconds", "Put my logo in the corner."
• Questions: "What's in the clip from the second camera?", "Which shots show the product?"

Tips

• Be specific: "Remove the first 10 seconds" works better than "make it better".
• For big changes, Novacut may describe its plan and ask before acting. Reply "Yes" to go ahead.
• New Chat starts a fresh conversation. Your timeline stays as it is.
