You might not need to post polished videos on social media, but you do need clips that catch and keep attention. The AI auto video editor from PowerDirector cuts the time it takes between filming and posting with automatic editing tools.

Auto Edit searches for your video highlights and finds the moments your viewers want to see most. Its captions and music make it easier for your audience to engage, so you can grow your account and get more viewers without spending hours on video editing. Auto Edit even has different styles for your videos, letting you keep the same vibe across your content.

Why Auto Edit Is a Game-Changer

When you post a video, you want it to click with people right from the thumbnail. With a memorable style, your viewers will remember you and want to comment and share your clips.

If you’ve been editing your videos manually all this time, start by shaving hours off your process with Auto Edit. It uses AI to find key moments in your videos, so you won’t have to guess what viewers want to see, what to put in your previews, or what highlights to add in your social posts.

PowerDirector already has autogenerated captions, and Auto Edit syncs your subtitles and music to your videos. That way, you make it easy for viewers to follow along without getting distracted by lagging text or off-beat timing.

With styles for travel, movies, stories, and more, you can tailor your video effects to your account. You won’t have to spend time designing styles from scratch, and Auto Edit has plenty of unique visuals and audio effects to choose from.

Create Engaging Clips with Auto Edit

Your daily travel vlog needs tighter editing than that fun video of your dog’s zoomies in your living room. It might take a minute for you to switch gears between different video types, if you’re editing the way you always have. The AI auto video editor from PowerDirector makes that switch instantly and brings out the moments that tell your story in short clips.

Show off the highlights of your travel videos with eye-catching cutouts and scenic music that matches your summer in Bali with your besties. Or capture your anniversary party, holiday, or family cookout with a slower pace and soft, stylized captions.

For those high-energy moments, Auto Edit highlights the winning goal for your football team and adds a beat to bring the crowd into the moment. The AI auto video editor even has upbeat effects that keep up with your new kitten, so you can share her cuteness with your followers.

Tailor Your Videos with Themes and Styles

PowerDirector’s Auto Edit comes with four styles to immerse your viewers and guide your editing process. Here’s how you can use them to enhance your videos:

Travel: If you’re a travel vlogger who likes to get every adventure on video, the Travel style highlights each location, special stop, and your train, plane, or car ride between each one. This style is perfect for sharing your destinations and tips with your followers who want vacation ideas and travel tips.
Movie Scene: Experienced and amateur filmmakers who like adding dramatic moments to videos can show off dramatic movement, action scenes, and transitions with the Movie Scene style. If your audience is looking for a fast-paced story, this theme adds the finishing touches to get your video there.
Family Moments: Shine the spotlight on your memorable moments, whether you’re getting down on one knee, welcoming a new member of your family, or opening a special gift, with the Family Moments theme. As the host, you get to focus on sharing milestones with your loved ones, and viewers who want to make their own events special can get ideas from you or just share in your heartwarming memories.
Sports: Every player wants to capture their big moment in the game. The Sports style puts the focus on your kickoff, goals, and turning points in the game before your win, so your fans see your dedication and get inspired.
