AI Video Editing Workflow for Volume Creators
Volume creators need systems, not one-off edits. This workflow keeps production fast, consistent, and scalable. Bring your own clips and Fractal edits them, or use Create with AI to source or generate footage and build the edit for you.
Key takeaways
Source and organize
Group clips by topic or channel so batches are easy to run.
Automate edits
Use clip rules, shuffle logic, and batch exports to remove manual steps.
Quality control
Review outputs quickly before scheduling uploads.

Option 2: Create with AI
