Photo and video editing support

Keep your content polished and on schedule without a full creative team.

Raw footage and unedited photos pile up quickly, especially for brands posting every week. A photo and video editing assistant turns that material into finished, on-brand content so your team can focus on ideas and distribution.

Common challenges

Where businesses usually feel the strain.

Footage sits unedited

Recordings, podcasts, and shoots wait in folders because nobody has time to cut them.

Product photos are inconsistent

Backgrounds, lighting, and sizing vary from listing to listing, which makes a store look uneven.

Content needs many formats

One video often has to become a vertical clip, a square post, and a thumbnail for different channels.

Brand look drifts

Without someone applying the same fonts, colors, and captions each time, content stops feeling like one brand.

Tasks you can hand off.
