If you’ve been looking for a way to speed up your creative workflow and improve your photo or video edits without spending hours on manual tweaks, you’re in the right place. In this article I’ll walk you through exactly how to make the most of the AI‑powered editing tools in EditPro’s AI Features, show you practical tips you can apply right away, and help you feel confident as an editor whether you’re a beginner or already comfortable with editing.
What is EditPro’s AI Features and why they matter
When I refer to EditPro’s AI features, I’m talking about the collection of automated editing tools built into the platform that use artificial intelligence to simplify tasks like background removal, colour correction, scene detection and more. They’re important because they reduce repetitive work and let you focus on the creative side of editing.
These tools are not meant to replace your judgement or style—they enhance what you already do by handling the more tedious technical adjustments. That means faster turnaround, more consistent output and potentially better results. Whether you’re editing photos for social media, crafting a video project or polishing a travel vlog, having AI assist you can make a noticeable difference.
Getting started with the workspace
Setting up your project
Before you dive into the AI tools, make sure your editing environment is ready:
- Choose your source media (photos or video clips) and organise them in folders so you can find things easily.
- Make sure your footage conforms to a standard format and resolution (for example 1080p or 4K for video, RAW or high‑res JPEG for photos) so you give the AI high‑quality input.
- Backup your original files—editing tools (even AI‑assisted ones) may overwrite or compress media.
Familiarising with the interface
When you open the EditPro workspace you’ll typically see:
- A preview window where changes show in real time
- A timeline or layer panel (for video or photo sequences)
- A toolbar or sidebar that includes AI functions (labels like “Auto Colour”, “Scene Detect”, “Background Remove”)
- A controls panel for manual tweaks (levels, curves, saturation, etc.)
Spend a few minutes locating these panels so you’re comfortable and not searching when you’re in a flow.
Key AI features explained
Here are the core AI tools and how to use them effectively.
Auto scene detection and clip selection
In video editing, one of the biggest time‑sinks is scrubbing through hours of footage to pick usable takes. The scene detection feature analyses each clip, flags changes like camera motion, scene cuts or significant action shifts, and highlights the best parts.
How I use it:
- Turn on scene detection and let it mark candidate segments.
- Review the fragments the system suggests—keep the ones that match your narrative or flow.
- Delete or archive the extras.
This gives you a rough assembly quickly, which you can then refine.
Auto colour correction and grading
Colour grading manually is both art and technique. The AI feature handles the art of matching tone and colour by analysing your footage and applying corrections automatically.
Example: My travel vlog footage shot in midday sunlight looked flat. I used the auto colour corrector, then fine‑tuned highlights and shadows manually. Results: the sky popped, skin‑tones stayed natural, and the edit time was cut by 30 %.
Background removal and subject isolation
For photos or video, isolating a subject from a background (for example to place them on a new background, add a blur or insert graphics) can be tedious. The background removal tool uses AI to identify the subject edges and mask them out.
Tip: In portraits or static shots, use the auto mask, then refine the mask manually (especially hair or translucent edges) for better results.
Noise reduction and sharpening
Low‑light footage or photos often show noise (grain) and lack sharpness. The AI noise‑reduction tool analyses the image and reduces artifacts while preserving detail. The sharpening or “enhance” tool then brings back subtle detail.
Real‑life case: I had drone‑footage at dusk with visible grain. Using noise reduction followed by sharpen gave it a cleaner look with less visible noise but without the “smoothed plastic” effect.
Template and preset application
Many editing platforms with AI include style presets (for example cinematic look, social‑media friendly, vintage photo). These apply a combination of effects in one click.
How I adopt this: Choose a preset that matches your style (for example “social reel – high contrast”), apply it, then tweak settings like exposure and saturation to align with your brand or aesthetic.

Practical workflow from start to finish
Here’s a step‑by‑step process I follow which you can adapt for your own editing projects.
Step 1: Import and organise
Bring all your media into EditPro. Label or tag clips/photos by category or scene. Delete unusable takes early.
Step 2: Rough assembly (for video) or select best photos
Use the scene detection AI to mark key segments. Create a rough cut or selection list. For photos, pick the best frames before editing.
Step 3: Apply global corrections
Use AI for colour correction, noise reduction, background removal (if needed). Apply a preset if you have one that suits your brand or project tone.
Step 4: Refine manually
Even though AI did much of the heavy lifting, manual tweaks matter. Adjust exposure, fix skin‑tones, clean up masks, check audio levels (for video) or check composition (for photos).
Step 5: Add finishing touches
Transitions, titles, motion graphics (video) or overlay text, filters, export size adjustments (photo). Ensure everything is aligned with your target platform (Instagram, YouTube, portfolio website).
Step 6: Export and review
Export using appropriate format/resolution. For video: MP4 at target resolution; for photos: high‑res JPEG or PNG depending on use. Review on target device (mobile, desktop) to ensure quality.
Workflow table overview
| Stage | Action | Why it matters |
| Import & organise | Bring media in, label, delete unusables | Keeps project manageable |
| Rough assembly | Use scene detection or select photos | Gets you to edit stage faster |
| Global corrections | Apply AI tools (colour, noise, background remove) | Improves base quality |
| Manual refine | Adjust masks, correct colour, clean audio | Adds polish and controls look/feel |
| Finishing touches | Add graphics, transitions, text, adjust settings | Aligns with platform or brand style |
| Export & review | Output final file, review on device | Ensures end user experience is good |
My top tips for better results
- Use high quality input: The better your source footage or photo, the more effective the AI tools will be.
- Less is more with presets: Applying a heavy preset then over‑tweaking can make the output look artificial.
- Watch your export settings: For example, if your final video is destined for social media, target the resolution, frame rate and bit‑rate accordingly.
- Check on multiple devices: A photo that looks fine on a laptop may show banding or colour issues on a mobile screen.
- Batch process similar items: If you have a series of images or clips from the same session, apply the same base corrections to all to maintain consistency.
- Refine AI masks manually when needed: Especially with subjects that have hair, semi‑transparent features, motion blur—AI will get you 80‑90% but you’ll deliver better results if you clean up the rest.
- Keep version history: Before applying major AI changes, duplicate your sequence or image so you can compare “before” and “after” and revert if needed.
Case studies showing real impact
Travel vlog scenario
I had drone clips shot during golden hour. The exposure varied, the drone footage had noise in the sky shadows, and some transitions were shaky. Using EditPro’s scene detection I isolated the two best takes. Then I applied noise reduction, auto colour correction, and a “cinematic teal‑orange” preset. Manual tweaks fixed the shaky portions and I added a title slide. In total I reduced editing time by nearly 40%, delivered a smoother result and used the output for YouTube and Instagram without additional conversions.
Portrait photo editing
A client requested a set of influencer portraits for social media. The shoot included indoor and outdoor lighting. I used the background removal AI on the outdoor shots to isolate the subject and apply a consistent blurred background style. Then I applied an auto colour grade and refined skin‑tones manually. The result was a clean, cohesive look across all images in the set. The client was able to publish them the same day rather than waiting 48‑hours for manual retouching.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying solely on AI: The AI is powerful but not infallible. Always check your output.
- Using low‑quality source files: Grainy or poorly exposed footage will make AI corrections difficult.
- Ignoring audio (in video projects): Many think “AI editing = visuals only” but audio clarity matters just as much—check levels, background noise, ambient sound.
- Over‑processing: Heavy sharpening or aggressive colour grading can introduce halos, unnatural skin tones or digital artefacts.
- Skipping testing on target device: A video may look fine on your desktop but pixelation or banding may appear on mobile or streaming platforms.
How to measure success
To understand whether you’re improving your editing process and final output, here are some metrics you can track:
- Turnaround time: Compare how long it takes you to complete a project using AI tools vs manual alone.
- Quality review feedback: Check with clients or stakeholders how they rate visual quality, consistency and speed.
- Engagement metrics (for content shared): If you’re posting edits online, monitor views, likes, comments, watch time for videos or click‑through for images. Improvements here may signal better visual appeal.
- Error rate: Track how many revisions or fix‑ups you have post‑edit. If AI usage reduces rework, that’s a win.
Integrating EditPro’s AI into your regular toolkit
Even if you already use traditional editing software (for example Adobe Premiere Pro or other photo editors), here’s how you can integrate EditPro’s AI features smoothly:
- Use it for preprocessing: Run your media through AI tools (background removal, noise reduction, auto colour) before importing into your main editing software.
- Reserve it for “bulk tasks”: If you have a large batch of media (e.g., 50 photos from a shoot), use the AI tools to process them together and then pick and refine the top‑10.
- Create templates: Once you’ve settled on a workflow (e.g., preset → refine → export), save that as a template so future edits are consistent and faster.
- Train yourself on manual skills: AI tools should not replace your understanding of fundamentals (exposure, composition, audio mixing). Maintain your skills so you can intervene when AI results need correction.
Concluding thoughts
Using EditPro’s AI features gives you an edge—not by replacing what you do, but by making it faster and more consistent. If you follow the workflow above and use the practical tips I’ve shared, you’ll find yourself spending less time on technical fixes and more time on creative decisions.
Whether you’re working on one photo, an influencer campaign, a vlog or a full‑length video project, the right tools paired with the right process make all the difference. Embrace the support these AI features offer, refine your own approach, and deliver better edits with confidence.
