Found a video whose editing you love? Give it to the Studio app. Your video gets its cuts, captions and effects, with your own people, words and brand in it. Showing a video once is faster than describing it, and a video you only half like is still a better start than a blank page. Pick a reference from the feed: it’s a person talking to camera, so the app goes to Copy editing style. Choose who’s on camera, then say what the video should talk about. Reference is part of HyperFrames Pro: the app watches the video through HeyGen, and Pro credits pay for the read when they’re available. A usable HeyGen API key saved in Settings > HeyGen API key pays when the plan can’t. A saved key with an empty balance makes the app ask for a key before the read starts; remove it in Settings to let Pro pay. With no plan that can pay and no usable key, the app asks you to get Pro or add a key, opening Plan & usage if Pro’s allowance for the month is used up, and it picks up the selected video again once your plan can pay.

​
1. Pick the video

On Home, open Reference. Then:
  • Paste any URL, then Use link. One public video from YouTube (a video or a Short), TikTok, Instagram or X, up to 30 minutes, or a published HyperFrames project.
  • Upload your reference: drop a file from your computer.
  • Pick a reference from the feed beside it, videos made to be remixed (also on Home as Remix from inspiration).

​
2. The app reads it and picks the way

The app watches the reference and decides how to remake it:
  • A person talking to camera becomes Copy editing style: your video gets its cuts, captions and effects, with your footage or an AI avatar.
  • Graphics and animation with nobody on camera becomes a Video brief: it recreates the motion with your topic and files.
If it can’t tell, it asks you to choose between those two, then Continue.

​
3. Say what it’s about

For Copy editing style, the app asks Who’s on camera?
  • Upload your own takes. Add Editing instructions if you want, for example “Cut the pauses, keep it under 30 seconds”.
  • An AI avatar: your photo or a HeyGen presenter. Say what the avatar should say; a sentence or two is enough.
For a Video brief, write What will your video talk about (a sentence or two), and add your own pictures or clips with Upload assets.

​
4. Swap what should be yours

What to swap lists the parts the app found in the reference, each with where it appears, for example “Your opening question 0:00-0:02” or “Your website URL 0:02-0:05”. Choose how to fill each: Choose a brand kit for the video, or No brand kit. Your workspace default stays as you set it. Then Continue; Framey may ask a question or two about anything the video leaves open.

​
5. Compare with the original

While Framey builds, Show original at the top of the preview plays the reference over the picture. When the build is done, the same button sets the two side by side, on one clock, so you can see what matches and what doesn’t. Then edit the result like any other video.

​
Use other people’s videos fairly

The app copies the editing style, not the footage: your video is built from your own takes, avatar, words and media. Don’t reuse the original’s footage, music or logos unless you have the rights to them.
