How it works
From raw footage to a timeline you finish
Runs learns quietly from work you’ve already finished, then uses what repeats — your pace, captions and structure — to shape new footage into an editable first cut.
The loop
Footage in. An editable draft out.
The normal experience is deliberately simple. Runs handles the pipeline; you stay focused on the video.
- 01
Add finished edits
Share a small body of work that already feels like you. There is no style questionnaire to maintain.
- 02
Add footage and direction
Drop in the raw material, describe the video you want, and point to a reference when it helps.
- 03
Receive one strong draft
Runs selects, trims and assembles the moments into an opinionated first cut in a real timeline.
- 04
Finish it your way
Trim, replace or reorder directly—or ask for the change. Previous versions remain available.
Behind the draft
Your work teaches Runs what to notice
Finished edits create a quiet style memory. Your corrections improve that starting point only after you approve them.

improves only with your approval
The warm panels stay in your hands. Runs handles the quiet middle; learning from your corrections still waits for your approval.
Under the surface
Your style is richer than one preset
Runs keeps these details backstage. They are shown here as evidence for the claim—not as a control panel you have to configure.

Same creator, same profile. A montage is cut roughly 4.6× faster than a long-form piece — so an interview does not get cut like a montage, and neither gets an average of the two. Flattening these into one number would describe none of them.
The difference
One body of work. One personal starting point.
Runs notices the decisions that keep recurring across your finished edits. Give two creators the same footage and their personal starting points produce visibly different cuts. The measurements and evaluation remain available on the research page.
Questions
Asked before applying
How many videos does Runs need to learn my editing style?
Five finished edits that feel like you is the starting point. That is enough to measure what repeats — pacing, captions, sound, structure. A larger body of work sharpens the signature. During private testing, corrections are kept as comparisons and reviewed with you before they update the profile.
Do I have to describe my style?
No. The brief you write for a new video covers the video — what it’s about, what matters, how long. Your style is read from your finished edits, shown back to you as findings with numbers, and you can correct any finding it gets wrong.
What exactly does Runs measure?
Pacing (how often you cut and how long your shots run), captions (where they sit, how large, in what register), sound (the loudness you deliver at), and structure (how directly you open and how you land the ending). Each finding carries the number behind it.
Is Runs an AI video generator?
No. Runs never generates synthetic footage — it edits real footage you already shot. Runs is the editorial pass: selecting, ordering, trimming and captioning your own material.
