Vyra for founders: edit real footage by describing the edit

Record a phone video about what you're building and get a captioned, tightened, vertical cut back by describing the edit. No evening of editing.

By Sulan Zhang, co-founder of Vyra · Updated 2026-09-24

You have ten minutes to record and none to edit. Vyra takes a raw phone video, removes the pauses and restarts, adds captions and a screen recording where you point at the product, and exports it vertical. All from a few sentences.

What you make

Your three most-used prompts

Weekly update

Cut this 6-minute phone recording into a 60-second 9:16 update. Keep the parts about the new feature and the metric, cut everything about the office move. Remove pauses over half a second and restarts. Word-by-word captions, bold white. No music.

Face plus screen

When I talk about the dashboard, show the screen recording as a picture-in-picture top right, about a third of the frame, for as long as I'm on that topic. Then back to just me.

Launch demo

Make a 45-second demo. Start on me saying the one-line pitch, then the screen recording cropped to what I'm clicking, then me for the ask at the end. Title card with the product name for the first 2 seconds and a lower third with my handle.

A typical workflow

Record on your phone, screen-record the product, upload both.
Ask for the cut with the length, what to keep, and what to drop.
Fix one thing per message. Ask for a timestamped list of cuts if you want to check.
Add captions and the screen overlay.
Export 9:16 and post. Ask for 16:9 for LinkedIn if you need it.

What Vyra does that matters for you

Filler and restart removal with thresholds, so a rambling take gets tight without sounding chopped.
Screen overlays triggered by what you say, no manual keyframes.
One style reused across weekly updates. Describe it once.
Works through Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor over MCP if that's already your setup.

What it does not do

It doesn't write your script or generate an avatar. You're on camera.
It doesn't post to LinkedIn, X, or TikTok.

FAQ

I say "um" constantly. Can it fix that? Yes. "Remove every um, uh, and like used as filler" is a normal prompt. Add "keep like when I mean it."

Can I drive it from Cursor or Claude Code? Yes, through MCP. Same prompts, your own assistant.

How long from upload to export? Analysis runs once on upload. After that a short cut is a few prompts and a review.
