Manus Video Editor: an AI draft you can still edit by hand
Manus, an AI assistant, now offers a Video option that the company says can research a topic, write a script, and generate shots, music, voiceover, and motion graphics from a one-sentence request. The new Video Editor then places each piece on its own timeline layer, so a caption or music cue can be adjusted by mouse or by plain request without regenerating everything. Manus also says it can cut your own footage into shorter social clips. These claims come from a Manus employee's launch post, not independent testing.
