The AI Director

AI DirectorGenerationEditorThemes
  • Edit by describing what you want. The Director plans the edit, works step by step on your timeline, and checks the result before it reports back. Every change can be undone.
  • Generate video and voiceover with your choice of model: shots with sound, narration on its own track, and regenerations or variations of any generated clip.
  • It sees your edit. The Director reviews rendered frames to check framing, titles and logos, and places a logo on a moving object so it follows it.
  • Give it context from the timeline: right-click a clip and choose Add to Director, or attach pictures and files to a message.
Features
  • Ask, Auto edits and Plan modes, with a chat history in Director view
  • Titles measured with the real font and kept inside the frame
  • Solid logo backgrounds removed automatically
  • Clips still being generated when JBD closes can be fetched later
  • Right-click a track header to add or delete tracks
  • The mouse wheel scrolls tracks; Shift+wheel scrolls through time; Ctrl+wheel zooms
  • Refined Dark and Light themes
  • Help menu: What's New, Check for Updates and Report a Problem
Fixes
  • Alt+click selects one side of a linked clip
  • Long prompts no longer push the Director's input off screen
  • The Director's undo step never includes edits made while it works
