Eddie Smith, Video Editor.
Spend less time searching footage. More time telling the story.
The problem isn't editing.
It's finding the right moments.
Your editor should not spend hours scrubbing through video looking for one smile, one hug, one story, or one meaningful moment.
A memorial project may have:
- 3 hours of footage.
- 5 hours of footage.
- Multiple cameras.
- Interviews.
- Family videos.
- Speeches.
- B-roll.
- Hundreds of possible moments.
But the final film may only need a few minutes of them. Before your editor can create anything, someone has to find those moments. That takes time. A lot of it.
Let AI watch the footage first.
Your Mancebo Video Editor can review the source material before your human editor touches the timeline.
It identifies:
Then it makes the footage searchable by what actually matters.
Ask for the moment.
Instead of scrubbing through four hours of footage:
“Find moments where the family is laughing together.”
“Find clips of her with the grandchildren.”
“Find the part where they talk about how they met.”
“Find quiet moments that would work under this part of the story.”
“Find the best shots for the opening.”
The Video Editor searches the footage and brings back the strongest candidates.
From hours of footage to a short list.

Tell it the story you're trying to make.
Give the Video Editor a brief.
- Open with family arriving.
- Show how loved he was.
- Include the story about meeting his wife.
- Find moments with the grandchildren.
- End on something peaceful.
The AI turns that story into things it should look for in the footage. Then it finds them.
It can build the first cut too.
Once the right moments are found, the Video Editor can prepare a rough edit.
Then your editor reviews it.
AI does the searching. Your editor does the editing.
That distinction matters.
The AI can do the repetitive work:
Your human editor keeps control of:
A human stays in the middle.
Mancebo doesn't need to publish a finished memorial automatically. The workflow can be:
AI finds the footage.
AI prepares the edit.
Human reviews it.
AI makes requested changes.
Human approves the final film.
Your editor spends less time operating the machinery of editing and more time making the film good.
Make revisions easier too.
Instead of:
“Go back through the footage and see if there's anything better.”
Ask:
“Find a warmer moment with his daughter.”
“Give me three alternatives for this scene.”
“The opening feels too sad. Find lighter footage.”
“Find another clip that supports this part of the speech.”
The Video Editor goes back through the footage for you.
Built for long-form source footage.
This isn't just AI that generates videos. It's an employee designed to work with the footage your studio already has.

Your editor is still the editor. Mancebo gives them another worker.
One that can watch hours of footage. Remember what it saw. Search it instantly. Build selects. Prepare timelines. And go back through the footage whenever asked.
More projects. Same team.
If an editor saves hours of footage review on every project, that time can go somewhere much more valuable.
Don't make great editors spend their day searching footage.
Give them an AI Video Editor.
