Introducing Lumiere: Direct an Agentic Edit for Real Talking Footage
Most “AI video editors” still make you drive a timeline while automation bolts on one feature at a time. Lumiere takes a directing posture: you describe the outcome, and an agent cuts silences, places B-roll, writes captions and scores the edit — on a real multitrack timeline you can still reverse and refine.
What Lumiere does
Lumiere is an AI-native editor aimed at real talking-head footage, not synthetic presenters:
- Prompt-driven packaging — ask for silence removal, captions, B-roll, transitions/SFX and get a visible plan before frames move
- Editable multitrack timeline — agent decisions land as clips you can keep, dismiss or undo as a whole turn
- Captions on the beat — word-synced styles with karaoke highlight and brand presets
- Local WebCodecs export — render in-browser across 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 without shipping media to a render farm

Who it is for
Founders, creators and editors who already shoot talking footage and want agent help packaging it into vertical or multi-aspect cuts — while keeping human taste on the final timeline.
Where it fits in a content stack
Lumiere sits in raw A-roll → directed first package (silence cleanup, captions, B-roll, music beds). Use it when the source is real camera work. If you instead need a storyboard-approved explainer before any footage exists, that is a different layer of the stack.
Why an agentic timeline beats one-click black boxes
Black-box “auto edit” buttons are fast until they are wrong. Lumiere’s agent writes a plan, applies packaging steps, and leaves every clip editable — including undo by whole agent turn. For teams that care about taste, that reviewability is the difference between a draft assistant and a mystery export. Real footage stays the source; the agent handles silence, captions, B-roll placement and scoring so humans keep directing.
Quick tips if you try Lumiere
- Start with a clear direction prompt (“cut silences, captions on beat, B-roll on product mentions”).
- Read the agent plan before accepting a full pass — bad assumptions die in chat, not on export.
- Use undo by agent turn when a whole packaging pass misses the tone.
- Export the aspect ratios you actually publish rather than reframing later in three apps.
- Email ataberk@getlumiere.app — the founder contact listed on privacy/terms — for beta and product questions.

If you also need concept → storyboard → animated or whiteboard explainer / Reels (not talking-avatar presenters), see Scro Explainer. Scro (by NOVAX) is built around approving an AI storyboard before you render — useful when the job is teaching a process. Keep Lumiere as the focus of this intro; Scro is only a related option for storyboard-first explainers.
