Edit your video by asking

What you can ask for

Ask the way you’d brief an editor. Requests Dollop can’t map to a safe edit get a plain answer saying so, with a list of what it can do.

• Shorten or tighten a section, by a little, a lot, by half or by a percentage
• Remove a retake, the pauses or the filler words
• Add B-roll from clips you’ve tagged
• Keep a part uncut, or lock it
• Change captions: size, position, capitals, words per line or word highlight
• Turn music up or down, or duck it under your voice
• Add chapters, zoom, crop or punch in
• Fix how a word or name was said
• Make a TikTok, Shorts or Reels version
• List recent AI edits, or revert one

Choose what it applies to

Each request has a scope: the current selection, the clip under the playhead, an in/out range, the section under the playhead, the whole timeline or all platform versions. When a request could mean more than one part of the video, Dollop asks which one you mean instead of guessing.

Review before it’s applied

A request comes back as a proposal: what will change, why, and anything it couldn’t do. Preview it, then apply or reject it. Applied changes appear in the history by name, so you can revert that one edit later without losing the work you did after it.

Guardrails

Locked clips are never changed, and the AI can’t unlock them. Sponsor disclosures and other protected lines stay unless you override the protection yourself. Every proposal is checked against the timeline’s rules before you see it.

Chats stay with the project

Each project keeps its own conversation, so you can pick up where you left off. When a studio’s AI credits run out, a built-in planner still handles the common requests above.
