A TikTok editor has one job. Make the hook land in the first two seconds and keep the cuts moving. Vyra does that from your footage and your description, then exports with a preset sized for TikTok and Reels.
How it works
- Upload the footage and the sound, if you have one.
- Describe the video. Format, length, the hook line or shot, what to cut, caption style, music.
- The agent builds it, captions it, and keeps text inside the safe zone.
- Fix one thing at a time until it reads right with the sound off.
- Export with the Instagram/TikTok preset.
What you can control
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Format | Talking head, UGC hook and demo, relatable, story time, montage, and more |
| Hook | A quoted line or a described shot in the first 1 to 2 seconds |
| Pace | Pause threshold, cut density, pattern interrupts you describe |
| Captions | Word-by-word, highlight, or phrase, with emphasis words bigger |
| Sound | A sound you upload, original speech, sound effects from Freesound |
| Look | Effects by category, or a reference video's style |
Prompts to paste
Make a 30-second TikTok from these clips. Open on the shot where I pull the canvas out of the box, then the three best painting moments. Cut all talking except the line "this is the part everyone skips". White 3-word captions, calm piano underneath at low volume.
Match the pacing and caption style of the attached reference TikTok. Use my footage only.
Remove every zoom and transition you added. Straight cuts only.
When to use something else
- You want TikTok's own effects, trending templates, and sounds library. That's CapCut.
- You're editing entirely on your phone. Vyra is browser-based.
- You need to post and schedule from the editor. Vyra exports the file.
FAQ
Does the export match TikTok's specs? The Instagram/TikTok preset gives you 1080p vertical MP4 at 20 Mbps.
Can it use a trending sound? Upload a sound you have rights to and ask for the cut to follow its beat. Vyra doesn't host a sounds library.
Will the captions clear the TikTok UI? Ask for the lower third above the bottom safe area.
