Maximize Your Creativity.
Shikomi is the prep work professional editors do before the actual edit begins — the time spent absorbing your footage.
Listening to hours of material, picking out usable moments, building the structure of your story.
For just 5 minutes of final video, this process can take hours — sometimes days.
Minimize that time.
Focus your motivation and skill on the creative side of editing.
Tired before you even
start editing?
A one-hour long-form interview.
Days of documentary footage.
That company video project you were assigned.
You want to make it great. The motivation is there.
But just picking through the footage and building a structure
already leaves you exhausted.
What if AI could be there in that moment?
Your motivation could reach so many more places.

We know you've seen AI video tools before. Here's what makes shikomi.ai different — direct answers to the questions you're probably already asking.
“Just removing silence?”
No. It understands the content and builds a structure.
“Can I re-edit the result?”
Yes. The output is a standard Premiere Pro sequence. Edit as you always do.
“Multiple structure options?”
Up to 4 AI editors propose different editing perspectives.
“Is my data safe?”
Audio and subtitle data are deleted immediately after processing. Nothing stays on the server. We do not use your data for AI training.

About
Built by a working
video director.
This tool was born from real production experience — the frustration of spending hours on prep work before the creative editing even begins.
We understand the workflow because we live it every day. shikomi.ai is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing process, not replace it.
