Your own director: the assistant plans, Slicer checks

Version 2026.10.19API 1.7.0NewMCPAPIAppiOS

Your AI assistant looks at the frames and writes the video plan itself, and Slicer applies its director rules to it on the server — over MCP and API, free.

On this page

Your AI assistant can now edit a video by itself — on its own subscription, and for free in Slicer. The assistant looks at the frames and writes the plan, and Slicer applies the rules of its AI director to the plan on our server: whatever it can, it corrects itself, and for the rest it answers with issues. The rules themselves are not passed to the assistant.

What's new

  • Director brief — get_director_brief: the material — speech by word ids, pauses, retakes and your wishes — a few general tips and the schemas of the plan and of observations from the frames. The video type, pace, effects and length can be passed right away — they are saved to the project.
  • Frames — get_frames: the assistant looks at the sources itself, up to 16 frames per call, at the seconds it needs or evenly.
  • Accepting the plan — submit_director_plan: the plan and the observations from the frames become the video — a new revision. The answer has what Slicer corrected itself, issues with the plan and the video as text; the assistant fixes the plan accordingly and submits it again.
  • The direct_reel prompt — the whole workflow in one command.
  • API 1.7.0 — the same routes: POST /v1/projects/{id}/director/brief, GET /v1/projects/{id}/sources/{index}/frames and POST /v1/projects/{id}/director/plan.
  • The director's rules stay on the server. In the Chat, the The director’s brief entry is now hidden by default.

What's paid

The brief, frames, accepting the plan, edits and export are free. Only speech recognition for captions (transcribe_speech) is paid — at cost per minute of sound and after you agree to the price. An AI montage by the Slicer director stays a paid option for those who don't have an assistant of their own.
