Fix a cut that sounds or looks wrong
Put the playhead on the cut and tell the AI what is wrong: it looks at the frames, listens to the finished audio, fixes the cut by word and checks it again. For the last few frames, dragging the cut's edge yourself is quicker.
No automatic cut is perfect to the frame. Words run into each other, and a transcript's word times are a little off, so a cut can clip the end of a word, leave the first sound of the next one behind, or land on a blink. When you tell the AI about a cut, it now reads the words and edits at the playhead, renders that stretch of the finished video, transcribes what it actually hears and compares it with what should play, then moves the cut by word to the quiet between them and checks again before telling you it is fixed. Every cut it makes snaps to the quietest point nearby without clipping a word you keep. It also warns when two changes in the picture land a few frames apart, which reads as a stutter, and suggests putting them on the same frame or keeping one. Some things no cut can fix: removing part of a sentence on camera usually jumps your hands, so the AI offers to cover the cut with a punch-in or a picture, keep the line, or leave the jump. An inserted pause holds the picture still, so it prefers a real silent moment from your footage. The checks need PandaStudio 2.1.59 or later.
In the app
- 1Move the playhead onto the cut, or just name the moment, for example: at 16 seconds.
- 2Open the AI tab and say what is wrong: a word is cut off, a sound is left over, it jumps, my eyes are closed.
- 3The AI checks the frames and the audio there, fixes the cut and tells you what it checked.
- 4If the cut is still a few frames off, fine-tune it yourself: on the timeline, each cut is a Trim item. Drag its left or right edge a few frames and play it back. This is quicker than another round with the AI.
- 5Keep talking in the same chat. A message you send while the AI works is queued, and Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) steers it. A new chat starts from scratch and doesn't know what it already fixed.
- 6Changed your mind? Undo this run under the AI's reply puts everything back.
Ask the AI
Open the AI chat in the editor and say any of these. The agent does the edits for you.

pandastudio project.review-moment --id=$ID --atMs=16000
Frames, the finished audio transcribed and compared with the edit, whether each cut lands in quiet or in speech, nearby edits and stutters. Async: job.wait. PandaStudio 2.1.59 and later.
pandastudio project.add-trim --id=$ID --afterWordId=$LAST_KEPT --beforeWordId=$NEXT_KEPT
Cut everything between two words. Edges snap to the quiet without clipping a kept word; result.edges says where each landed. Word anchors need PandaStudio 2.1.59 and later.
pandastudio project.update-region --id=$ID --regionType=trim --regionId=$CUT --beforeWordId=$WORD
Move one edge of an existing cut to a word.
