How it works

The Stitch

Put your clips in, say what you want, and get one edited film back.

Open The Stitch

Step by step

  1. 1

    Add your clips

    Up to 20 clips of any size or shape: phone, camera or generated. Put them in order.

  2. 2

    Say what you want

    For example: about 30 seconds, fast cuts at the start, slow down for the dialogue, end on the wide shot of the sea.

  3. 3

    It listens first

    The Stitch listens to every clip and finds each spoken line. A spoken line is never cut, unless you ask for it.

  4. 4

    The editor cuts

    It looks through every clip, follows your notes, cuts on action, trims dead air, and cuts out mistakes and moments where the camera or a person doubles back.

  5. 5

    The review

    A review agent watches the edit and lists what is still wrong, and the editor edits again.

  6. 6

    Tell it what to change

    Not happy yet? Say what to change in your own words, or tap a quick option like "Make it shorter". Exact changes ("cut from 0:05 to 0:08", "mute the cough at 0:12") change only that moment and keep the rest of the edit. Other wishes (shorter, faster, hold the last shot) make a new edit that follows them. You can also cut or mute an exact moment yourself, free, and undo it.

  7. 7

    Download the finished film.

The film craft inside

The Stitch works from the editing rules in the library: never cut a spoken line unless you ask, keep the story in order, cut out mistakes and double-backs, trim dead air, and give every piece time to read.

What it costs

  • The Stitch runs on your own fal.ai key (Account → API keys).
  • Each clip is listened to once, for its spoken lines: about $0.01 a clip or less.
  • The editor uses a low-cost model and the review uses Claude Opus 5.5: an edit with its review usually costs about $0.20–0.60, depending on the length and how many review rounds it takes.
  • Editing again with your changes is one edit and one review, about $0.20–0.60. Cutting or muting an exact moment yourself is free.

Questions

Can I use clips from my phone?+

Yes. Clips of any size, shape and frame rate are brought to one format before the edit.

Will it cut someone off mid-sentence?+

No. The Stitch listens to every clip first, and no cut lands inside a spoken line. A line is only left out when your notes ask for it, for example "cut the part where he says hello".

What if a clip has music or other languages?+

Speech is found in any language. If a clip can’t be listened to, all of its sound is protected instead, so a line is never at risk.
