What is PublishFi?
PublishFi is an AI-powered video editor built for people who create content for social media. It combines a professional editing environment with an AI collaborator called CoDirector, so you can go from raw footage to polished, platform-ready clips without the steep learning curve of traditional video software.
The core idea is simple: your time is better spent on the ideas behind your content, not on frame-by-frame cutting. PublishFi handles the mechanical work — trimming to the right length, reformatting for different platforms, adding music and motion graphics — so you can focus on what you're actually trying to say.
What you can do with PublishFi
- Edit using a transcript — Every word in your video is transcribed automatically. Click a word to jump to that moment. Delete words to remove those segments from the video. No manual timeline scrubbing required.
- Generate clips with AI — Describe the kind of clips you want, add your source media, and CoDirector creates a set of ready-to-edit clips from your footage. It can find highlights, build a reel, or extract specific moments.
- Reformat for any platform with Auto Frame — Publish to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, and more from a single edit. Auto Frame handles the aspect ratio switching and shows you platform-specific safe zones so nothing important gets cut off.
- Add music, sound effects, and AI voiceover — Search a built-in music library by genre, mood, BPM, and more. Add sound effects. Generate a voiceover from a script using AI voices.
- Polish with motion design templates — Insert lower thirds, titles, and graphic call-outs from the Design System. These elements live on their own track and render on top of your footage.
- Collaborate with your team — Leave timestamped comments, invite collaborators, and share password-protected export links without handing over full project access.
Who is PublishFi for?
PublishFi is designed for anyone who produces video content for social media distribution. That includes:
- Solo creators repurposing long-form recordings — podcasts, interviews, webinars, talks — into short clips for multiple platforms.
- Marketing teams producing branded video at volume, where consistency and speed both matter.
- Podcasters who want to turn audio episodes into visual clips, audiograms, or highlight reels.
- Anyone who wants a faster path from recorded footage to published content.
You do not need prior video editing experience to use PublishFi. The transcript-based editing approach is designed to feel familiar to anyone comfortable with a word processor.
