Scenith's AI Features: How to Use Them for Video Editing (2025)

Scenith's AI features are designed for seamless integration, turning hours of manual work into minutes of magic. Whether you're isolating product shots, adding captions for accessibility, or generating voiceovers without a microphone, these tools adapt to your workflow. Let's dive into each one with detailed steps, tips, and troubleshooting.

1. AI Background Remover: Clean Up Your Visuals in Seconds

Background removal is a staple for e-commerce, social media graphics, and green screen effects, but manual masking can take ages. Scenith's AI uses advanced segmentation models to detect subjects with pixel-perfect accuracy, even in complex scenes like busy crowds or textured fabrics. This feature supports PNG transparency and integrates directly into your video timeline for overlays.

Scenith's Background Remover: Upload, process, and download transparent images effortlessly.

1. Access the Tool: Navigate to the "AI Tools" sidebar in your Scenith dashboard and click "Background Remover." No project setup required—it's available project-wide.
2. Upload and Process: Drag-and-drop your image (supports JPEG, PNG up to 10MB) or use the upload button. Hit "Remove Background" to let the AI analyze edges and isolate the subject. Processing takes 2-5 seconds, depending on complexity.
3. Refine and Download: Preview the result with a checkerboard background. Use the built-in eraser tool for fine tweaks if needed, then click "Download" to save as PNG with alpha channel. Drag the file straight into your timeline for instant overlay.

Pro Tip: For best results, use images with clear subject-background contrast. If the AI misses fine details like hair strands, upload a higher-resolution version—Scenith handles up to 4K seamlessly.

2. AI Subtitles: Engage Silent Viewers with Smart Captions

With 85% of mobile videos watched muted, subtitles aren't just accessible—they're essential for retention. Scenith's AI subtitles go beyond basic transcription: they detect speaker changes, add timestamps, and suggest engaging styles based on your video's tone. Powered by advanced speech-to-text models, it handles accents, background noise, and even filler words for cleaner output.

Scenith's AI Subtitles: Generate, select all, and customize styles in one workflow.

1. Prepare Your Clip: Add your video to the timeline. Select the clip and open the "AI Subtitles" panel from the effects menu—it's context-aware and auto-detects audio.
2. Generate Captions: Choose from preset styles (e.g., minimalist white, bold pop-up) or custom options like font family and color. Click "Generate Subtitles" to transcribe—the AI processes in real-time, achieving 98% accuracy on clear audio.
3. Batch Edit and Style: Hit "Select All Subtitles" for one-click highlighting. In the text panel, update font (e.g., sans-serif for modern vibes), background color (semi-transparent black for readability), size, and animation. Drag to reposition on screen.

Advanced Tip: For multilingual videos, generate base English subtitles first, then use Scenith's translation layer to dub in other languages. Export as SRT for platforms like YouTube or embed directly in your export.

3. Text-to-Speech: Natural Voiceovers Without Recording

Voiceovers add personality, but hiring talent or recording yourself can be a hassle. Scenith's text-to-speech leverages neural voices that sound remarkably human, with options for tone (enthusiastic, professional), speed, and emotion. It's perfect for tutorials, ads, or dubbing foreign content, supporting 20+ languages with native accents.

Scenith's Text-to-Speech: Select language, input text, generate, and sync to timeline.

1. Open the Panel: In the audio track of your timeline, click "Text-to-Speech" from the insert menu. It opens a dedicated composer with voice previews.
2. Input and Configure: Select your language (e.g., English-US, Hindi, Spanish) from the dropdown. Paste or type your script—up to 5,000 characters. Adjust pitch, speed (0.8x-1.5x), and emphasis for natural flow.
3. Generate and Integrate: Click "Generate" to synthesize the audio (under 10 seconds). The waveform auto-adds to your timeline, snapped to the playhead. Fine-tune volume or add fades in the mixer.

Pro Tip: For dynamic narration, break long scripts into segments and vary voices (e.g., male for intros, female for calls-to-action). Combine with subtitles for a fully accessible video.

While powerful, manual methods demand skill and time. Photoshop for backgrounds, transcription apps for subtitles, and recording software for voiceovers require separate workflows, often leading to inconsistencies. They're best for one-off, highly customized projects where AI falls short (e.g., artistic masking or dialect-specific dubbing).

Popular Manual Options:

• Photoshop/Lightroom: Lasso or magic wand for background removal—precise but pixel-by-pixel tedious.
• Premiere Pro/Final Cut: Hand-typed subtitles with timeline syncing; built-in speech-to-text is basic (80% accuracy).
• Audacity/GarageBand: Record and edit voiceovers, then export/import to video software.

General Workflow:

1. Prepare Assets: Source high-res images/audio; organize in folders for easy access.
2. Edit Individually: Remove backgrounds in Photoshop (30-60 min/image), transcribe subtitles while pausing video (1-2 hours), record voiceovers in a quiet space (15-30 min/script).
3. Refine Details: Mask edges, correct transcription errors, normalize audio levels.
4. Integrate and Sync: Import everything into your video editor; manually align timings (error-prone).
5. Preview and Export: Scrub through for glitches; render multiple versions for platforms.

Common Pitfalls: Manual syncing often leads to lip-sync issues in voiceovers or misaligned subtitles, wasting more time on revisions. For teams, version control becomes a nightmare without centralized tools like Scenith.

A fashion brand needed clean product shots for Instagram Reels. Using Background Remover, they isolated models in 10 seconds per image, then added AI Subtitles for size/color callouts and Text-to-Speech for gentle narration. Result: 25% higher click-through rates, produced in 15 minutes vs. 2 hours manually.

Case Study 2: Educational YouTube Tutorials

A tech educator created a 10-minute tutorial. AI Subtitles transcribed the lecture with 97% accuracy, customized to bold keywords. Text-to-Speech generated a calm intro voiceover in Spanish for global reach. Views increased 35% due to better accessibility.

Case Study 3: TikTok Marketing Clips

A startup dubbed short ads into Hindi using Text-to-Speech (natural accent), overlaid with Background-Removed graphics, and auto-subtitled. Engagement soared 50%, with zero recording costs.
