70 prompts to start with

AI video editing prompts you can use

Make a globe journey, put your app on a 3D device, animate with Remotion or HyperFrames, or clean up a spoken video. Start with a short prompt, then refine the editable result with a follow-up.

1. Pick one task

Try a built-in template or filter by “No files needed” for a simple first scene.

2. Add your content

Attach the listed files and replace bracketed text. For a tagged template, type @ and select it in the assistant.

3. Paste into Subclip AI

Use plain language. Review the timeline and preview, then copy a follow-up to refine the same layers.

Designed for the current Subclip AI Editor. Results depend on your input and rendering; these are starting points, not a guaranteed success rate. Speech and media generation can use AI credits. Export needs an active paid plan.
