Narrative is an AI video editor for iOS and the web. You describe the edit in text, and it creates a draft on an editable timeline. The editor can read footage, make cuts, add automatic captions and graphics, and explain the changes it made. You can choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 frame formats. Every editing turn is saved as a version that can be restored. Narrative is intended for people who edit on a phone and post often, including sports highlights, montages, short-form edits, and talking-head clips. A free trial is available, but timeline editing, AI editing, and exports require a Narrative subscription. Plans include stated rendering and storage amounts; exceeding them may slow exports, require an upgrade, or create disclosed additional charges. Narrative AI Inc. says submitted footage, prompts, and edits are not used to train its own models. Traffic and stored files are encrypted, and deleted project data is cleared from storage and backups within 30 days.
