What is Shino?
Shino is the home for creators who talk to camera: an AI editing agent you brief in a chat. Tell it what you want and it cuts, captions and animates your real footage into a vertical reel, in your style. No timeline. It decides the edit on its own, from the cuts to the animations, learns your style as you go, and never swaps you for an avatar.

Frequently asked questions
What is Shino?
Shino is an AI video editor that works through chat, built as a home for creators who talk to camera. You upload a clip, say what you want in plain English, and Shino edits it into a vertical video with captions, zooms, hook titles, animations and clean audio. There is no timeline. It edits English-language videos today, with more languages to come, and early access opens in the US first.
Is Shino an AI video editing agent?
Yes. Shino is agent first and chat first. You brief it like you would brief a human editor, and it plans the edit, builds it, checks it against the platform safe zones, renders it and revises it when you ask. You never cut by hand or go looking for the right button.
Do I need video editing experience?
No. If you can explain what you want to a friend, you can edit with Shino. You never touch a timeline, keyframes or layers.
What animations does Shino have?
Animated word-by-word captions, punch-in zooms, hook titles, typing chat bubbles, stat pills, product cards, DM and comment callouts, stickers, phone frames and text that sits behind you. We add new ones all the time, and you ask for them in the chat instead of digging through a menu.
What kind of videos is Shino best at?
Talking-head videos: creator content, founder videos, UGC ads, product explainers, tips and storytime. Shino is built for short-form vertical video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
How is Shino different from CapCut or Descript?
CapCut and Descript are editors you operate yourself, with a timeline or a script you edit by hand. Shino is an editor you talk to. You describe the result, Shino does the cutting, captioning and polishing, and you refine it in the same chat.
Does Shino learn my style?
Yes. Shino remembers the choices you make, like caption look, pacing and hooks, so every new video starts closer to your style.
Does Shino generate fake AI video?
No. Shino edits your real footage. It does not create synthetic people or replace you with an avatar. It is your face and your voice, edited the way a good editor would.
What do I get at the end?
A full-HD 1080x1920 MP4 with captions and graphics kept inside the TikTok and Reels safe zones, ready to post.
Less editing. More getting shit done.
Your personal AI video editor. It learns your style, edits with you, and gets shit done.
