Video Editing Tools: Use Case Match
Matching video editing tools to the actual jobs they do best.
| Decision | Other Apps | Editly |
|---|---|---|
| Professional production | DaVinci Resolve / Premiere Pro: the right tools for film, broadcast, and commercial production | Editly: not for professional production — for content creator workflows at volume |
| Content creation at volume | Traditional NLEs: 2-4 hours per video — significant time investment for regular publishing | Editly: 15-20 minutes per video — enables high-frequency publishing |
| Mobile social content | CapCut / InShot: native mobile experience — best for phone-filmed social content | Editly: better for long footage editing — use mobile apps for phone clips |
| Beginner first video | Traditional tools: 2-4 hours of learning before first acceptable output | Editly: first video in 15-20 minutes — no learning required |
Using Editly Among Your Video Editing Tools
Step 2
Write a prompt for each video
Brief Editly as you'd brief a human editor: what to focus on, what length, what platform format, captions or not. Specific briefs produce better results.
Step 3
Let AI process while you do other work
Submit the prompt. Editly processes in the cloud. Return to a finished edit — no supervision required.
Step 4
Reserve traditional tools for professional content
Keep DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro for content requiring professional color, effects, or precise manual control.
