Before we dive in, a quick heads-up:

Detail is running a Cyber Monday deal right now, and new users can get 30 percent off the annual subscription.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to try it, this is definitely the moment. You can grab the deal in the app and start creating all through the holidays.

The holidays are the perfect time to record content. You’re around family, cooking, catching up, laughing, sharing stories… and these moments make great videos. But that doesn’t mean you want to spend hours editing afterward.

The good news is you don’t have to.

Detail has a feature called Auto Edit, and it can turn one long recording into finished long-form videos and short clips with zero manual editing. You film once, tap a button, and AI handles the rest.

Here’s how to use it for two types of videos: Talking Head and Podcast.

What You Need

• Your iPhone or iPad

• The Detail app

• A microphone (optional but helpful)

• Any video you want to repurpose

If you’re planning content for Thanksgiving or the holidays, this is one of the easiest ways to post more while still enjoying your break.

Option 1: Talking Head Videos

Perfect for:

• Solo videos

• Holiday messages

• Tutorials

• Storytelling

• Simple “sit and talk” moments

Step 1: Open Your Project

If you recorded directly in Detail, you’ll see it in your library.

If not:

1. Tap +

2. Choose Import

3. Select your long video

Step 2: Tap Auto Edit

1. Open the project

2. Tap Auto Edit

3. Choose Talking Head

Step 3: Customize Your Edit

You can toggle on or off:

• Zoom cuts

• Titles

• Captions

• Background music

Pro tip: If you want to add your own music later, turn off the music toggle.

Tap Continue and Detail will analyze your audio, clean up timing, and build your edits.

Step 4: Review the Results

Auto Edit creates:

• Long-form edits

• Short clips grouped by topics

Everything is editable: captions, fonts, transitions, trims.

When you like what you see, tap Export and save it.

Option 2: Podcast Videos

If you filmed conversations with family or friends, this workflow is perfect.

Step 1: Open Your Podcast Recording

Tap Auto Edit.

Step 2: Choose Podcast

Turn captions on or off, then tap Continue.

Step 3: Assign Speakers

Detail will play short audio samples.

For each voice, select who’s talking.

Tap Let’s Go when all speakers are assigned.

Step 4: Review Your Podcast Edits

You’ll get:

• Clean long-form edits

• Short clips cut around each speaker (Vertical versions by default but adjustable in Aspect)

Pro tip: want a split screen for multi-camera podcasts?

1. Open a clip

2. Tap Layout

3. Choose Split screen

4. Reposition as needed

5. Save it as a Preset

6. Tap Apply to all clips for quick batch editing

Then export each clip you want to share.

Why This Helps During the Holidays

• You can capture moments without worrying about editing later

• Long videos become short clips automatically

• Perfect for family chats, cooking moments, or holiday updates

• You focus on the recording, Detail handles the rest

Record once.

Auto Edit creates everything for you.
