Rodeo by TwelveLabs

Rodeo by TwelveLabs is a new AI-powered video editing tool that lets you generate a rough cut simply by describing the shot you want. Instead of manually scrubbing through footage and arranging clips on a timeline, you type a natural-language description—like "close-up of the presenter introducing the product"—and Rodeo finds matching moments and assembles them into a first draft. This solves the pain of spending hours logging and organizing raw footage before you can even start editing. TwelveLabs is known for its video understanding APIs, and Rodeo applies that same underlying AI to the editing workflow itself. The tool is currently in early access, with a Product Hunt launch generating buzz among video creators who want to speed up their pre-edit process. While the core idea is clear—text-to-first-cut—the full feature set and output quality are still being explored by early users.

Launched on Product Hunt with the tagline 'Describe your shot. Rodeo builds your first cut.' generating early buzz among video editing and AI communities.
