VODOOAI video editor: your clips, cut together for every platform
By VODOO AI · · 4 min read
Most of the time in a video isn't spent filming, it's spent editing: putting clips in order, trimming the slow parts, laying music and a voice underneath, then doing it all again for every shape each platform wants. An AI video editor does that from a sentence: "put these six clips together, vertical for Reels and square for the feed."
This guide covers what to tell it, how to get every size at once, and the few checks that matter before you post.
What to tell it
Which clips
- For example
- These six, or the four product shots from yesterday
What order
- For example
- Product first, then the person using it, then the result
How long
- For example
- Fifteen seconds, or as long as the voiceover
Where it's going
- For example
- Reels and TikTok, the feed, YouTube
| Say | For example |
|---|---|
| Which clips | These six, or the four product shots from yesterday |
| What order | Product first, then the person using it, then the result |
| How long | Fifteen seconds, or as long as the voiceover |
| Where it's going | Reels and TikTok, the feed, YouTube |
You can leave out anything you don't mind about, and say it in your own words. The more you say about what matters, such as the product staying in view or the logo coming last, the less you'll change afterwards. You can always ask again with one thing different: "same edit, but start on the close-up".
Every size at once
Each platform wants a different shape, and cropping a wide video to tall by hand usually cuts off the thing that matters. Asking for every size in one go means each version is cut from the same edit and reframed on what each shot is about, so the face or the product stays in view.
9:16, tall
- For
- Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories
1:1 or 4:5
- For
- Instagram and Facebook feeds
16:9, wide
- For
- YouTube, websites, presentations
| Shape | For |
|---|---|
| 9:16, tall | Reels, TikTok, Shorts, Stories |
| 1:1 or 4:5 | Instagram and Facebook feeds |
| 16:9, wide | YouTube, websites, presentations |
Voice and music
Give it the voiceover you already have, or ask for one, and it cuts the clips to the words: a new shot on each new idea. Ask for music under it and it keeps the music below the voice and lets it come up when nobody's speaking.
- Add captions: most people watch with the sound off.
- Keep each shot under three seconds for Reels and TikTok, longer for YouTube.
- End on the product or the offer, held for at least a second.

Same edit as last time, but open with the close-up of the product and make a 16:9 version for YouTube as well.Make this in VODOO →
Check it before you post
- 01Watch it on a phoneMost people will. Check the captions are readable and nothing important sits under the buttons at the edges.
- 02Watch it mutedIf it still makes sense with no sound, it will work in a feed.
- 03Check the first secondIf the first second is a logo or an empty frame, move a stronger shot to the front.

Questions people ask
- What does an AI video editor do?
- It puts your clips in order, trims them, adds a voice, music and captions, and makes versions in the shapes each platform wants, from a short description.
- Can it resize a video for Instagram and TikTok?
- Yes. Ask for 9:16 for Reels and TikTok and 1:1 or 4:5 for the feed, and each version is framed for its shape.
- Do I need to film anything?
- No. You can edit clips you already have, or make the clips with AI first and then cut them together.
