Talking head video editor

A talking head video editor that does the tedious parts for you

Talking head videos are easy to record and hard to keep watchable. Zupum edits your piece to camera around what you say, so viewers stay for the point instead of scrolling past a static frame.

The problem this solves

A single person speaking to camera needs constant small edits: trimming pauses, removing ums, adding captions for silent viewers and cutting away when you describe something. Done by hand, that is an hour per minute of footage.

What Zupum does in the first draft

Upload a clip and Zupum transcribes it with word-level timing, then builds the edit from what you actually said.

  • Word-synced captions in 40+ styles
  • Stock B-roll placed on the moments that need a visual
  • Filler-word and silence cleanup
  • Background music, sound effects and transitions
  • Automatic colour grading and noise reduction
  • Hook text that can sit behind you using subject cutout

Review, adjust, export

Every caption, cutaway and track stays editable. Retype a word, swap a B-roll shot for your own upload or change the music before exporting.
