Manual Edit
Open video in a browser-based web editor for manual adjustments.
Overview
The Manual Edit node pauses workflow execution and opens the video in a web-based editor. Make manual adjustments (cuts, trims, overlays) in the browser, then confirm to continue the workflow. Useful when automated processing isn’t sufficient and human judgment is needed.
Configuration
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | Display | — | Shows “Waiting for your edit” when paused |
| Input Video URL | Display | — | URL of the video being edited |
No configurable parameters — click “Open Editor” on the node during workflow execution.
Inputs & Outputs

Best Practices
- Place Manual Edit nodes at points where human review is essential
- Be aware that workflows with Manual Edit nodes cannot run fully autonomously
- Complete your edits promptly — the workflow pauses until you confirm
Common Use Cases
- Fine-tune AI-generated video before final delivery
- Make precise cuts that automated trimming can’t handle
- Add manual annotations or adjustments
- Review and approve content before social media publishing
Tips
- Manual Edit breaks fully automated pipelines — use only when human input is genuinely needed
- For automated workflows triggered by webhooks or schedules, avoid this node
- The web editor opens in your browser — ensure you have a stable connection
