Meta's Muse

How to edit videos using Meta's Muse

Behind the scenes

Watch Muse edit a video

One prompt, Muse at work, and the fix—all on a phone.

The workflow

From one phone video to a captioned short

You send messages. Muse runs moviestar.

01

Attach the video and ask in one sentence

Attach the video. Say what you want, where to find moviestar, and what style to match.

what James sent Muse

Edit the attached video into a tik tok style video using moviestar (you can find it on skills.sh). Use similar brand colors and styling from trymoviestar.com. Burn in captions.

02

Let it look before it cuts

Moviestar transcribes the footage so every cut lands on a word. On the first run, allow the huggingface.co prompt.

inspect the footage
$ moviestar load IMG_0423.MOV --as cam --model small
moviestar storyboard --source cam --interval 8 --out cam_storyboard.jpg
03

Give it a style to match

Point Muse at a site. It pulls the colors and styles the captions to match.

burn in branded captions
$ moviestar captions generate --style social-bold --highlight spoken-word \
  --highlight-color "#ffb81c" --position bottom
04

Watch it, then say what to change

Reply in plain language. Recorded more than one take? Say which to use.

the follow-ups

Yeah let's try something shorter. Work this video in as b-roll and build the story around building with Muse. Double check the colors on the captions / branding because they look off to me.

Okay you used the wrong cut for that one.

05

Check it, then render

Muse checks frames before the full render. Each note is a re-export, not a rebuild.

verify and export
$ moviestar screenshot --at 44.5
moviestar export --out final.mp4
