Remix is an AI-powered video editing tool that eliminates tedious manual editing. Create highlight reels, condensed versions, chaptered content, and more with a short text description.

Note

Only Account Owners and Managers can access Remix.

Create a new Remix

Note

Remixes cannot generate new video and will only leverage your existing footage. Videos must have a transcript to be remixed.

Remix can be used for any single video or a folder containing multiple videos. You can access this feature in a few different ways.

To get started, click the "Remix" button in the account navigation menu, in a folder, or on a media page. If you're on a media page, you'll need to first click "Repurpose," then "Remix."

From the Remix page, select a suggested prompt or write your own in the text box.

Tip

Not sure where to start? Check out our prompt writing tips below.

You can also add more source videos to the Remix and view your remaining Remix credits from here.

Note

You'll receive fresh credits every month. Each Remix and revision uses a credit. Unused credits don't carry over.

On the left side panel, you can start a new Remix by clicking the "+" icon or access your Remix chat history using the speech bubble icon.

Send your prompt to start the Remix process. The Remix agent will analyze the transcript(s), extract clips, and sequence content. It will also add slides, narration, and music as needed.

Note

The Remix agent can't see what's happening visually in the video. Clip selection is driven by what's being said in the transcript, rather than what's being shown in the video.

After the Remix is complete, you can preview the video and request revisions before saving.

Burnt-in captions

To add burnt-in captions to your Remix, simply ask for them in the chat.

Captions are derived from your video's transcript and narration. The caption style is also fully customizable: beyond the four presets, you can ask Remix to change the font, colors, positioning, and more.

Aspect ratio

Ask Remix to change your video's aspect ratio, including 9:16 (vertical), square, or any custom ratio.

You can also ask Remix to reposition the frame on a per-scene basis (e.g., "focus on the right side of the frame").

Add pronunciation

To define exactly how AI narration in Remix pronounces certain words (i.e., brand names, product names, or other tricky words), head to the Pronunciation page in your account settings.

To add a new term or phrase, click "Add word," then enter the word(s) and pronunciation. Click "Add pronunciation" to save your changes and sync them to all Remix narrations.

After saving, you can preview the pronunciation by clicking "Play." If you need to make changes or delete the word(s), click "Edit."

Prompt writing tips

Tips for writing Remix prompts are included in the "Prompt guidance" tool tip in the Remix modal. We recommend including the following information in your custom prompt:

  • Purpose (e.g., teaser, highlight reel, tutorial)

  • Duration (e.g., "60-90 seconds")

  • Pace (e.g., fast-paced, calm)

  • Topics to include from your footage

  • You can even write a full outline

Export your Remix

Once you're satisfied with your Remix, click "Save as new video" to save it to your Wistia account.

You'll be able to edit the title and select a destination folder when saving.

After saving your Remix, you can edit, customize, and share your new creation like any other media in Wistia.

Below the video previewer, you'll see options to navigate to the new media page (via the "Saved as" title), open the remixed video in the editor, and download the file.
