Async
Async is an AI video editor that creates and polishes video content through chat commands.
Async is a chat-based AI creative suite for video content production designed for creators and small businesses. Users can create finished videos from raw footage and AI-generated scenes simply by telling Async what they want. The platform removes filler words, pauses, and bad takes, cuts footage to the beat of music, cleans audio with Magic Dust, and generates B-roll, voice, or music using top models. It also adds synchronized captions, generates short-form clips for social media platforms, and lets users save their editing style as a reusable skill. The workflow supports video templates for aesthetic reels, quote videos, fashion lookbooks, and brand intros without requiring prior editing experience.
