AI video editor for talking-head video

AI video editor made for talking-head video

A person talking to a camera is the hardest thing to keep watchable and the easiest thing to shoot. Zupum specialises in exactly that: it reads what you said and builds the visuals, captions and sound design around it.

The transcript drives everything

Zupum transcribes your speech with acoustic word timings, then uses that one transcript to time captions, place cutaways, add sound effects and cut dead air - so nothing drifts out of sync with what you actually said.

  • Word-level captions that highlight on the spoken word
  • B-roll chosen for each point you make, stock or AI-generated
  • Graphic cards for numbers, lists and pull quotes
  • Circular picture-in-picture so your face stays on screen
  • Filler-word removal and noise reduction
  • Auto colour grading so skin tones look intentional

Your footage, not a synthetic presenter

No avatars, no voice clones. Zupum edits the video you filmed, which is why it works for founder updates, course lessons, explainers and pieces to camera where being recognisably you is the point.

Control where it counts

Drag captions, retime a cutaway to the second, regenerate a shot from a prompt, swap the music - the AI does the labour, you keep the judgement calls.

Try it on a piece to camera

Open the Zupum studio and upload a clip up to about two minutes.

questions

Frequently asked

Does Zupum use AI avatars?

No. Zupum edits your real footage - your face, your voice. There are no synthetic presenters and no cloned speech.

How does it know where to add B-roll?

It transcribes your speech with word-level timing, then places a cutaway on the moments where a visual explains what you just said.

Can it clean up my audio?

Yes - background noise removal plus filler-word cleanup that removes um, aah and ooh from both the audio and the captions.

Can I change my background?

Yes. Subject cutout lets you replace or restyle the background behind you, or place hook text between you and the wall.
