For long-form videos, the current AI Auto Edit workflow applies a default combination of AI tools and charges credits before users can choose which features they need.
Please add a setup screen before generation where users can select:
The amount or frequency of B-roll
Transitions
Captions
Auto-zooms
Sound effects
Images and GIFs
Silence and filler-word removal
Other AI editing features
Credits should be calculated and charged only for the selected tools.
Alternatively, allow users to save the complete editing configuration from a previous video as an AI Auto Edit preset. This should be different from custom themes, which control only the visual style.
For example:
80% B-roll + limited transitions + captions + no auto-zooms + no sound effects
This would make credit usage more transparent, prevent credits from being spent on unwanted features, and make Submagic more practical for long-form videos.
