NepTime AI Video Editor guide

NepTime AI Video Editor: edit with Nova, then publish to your channel

NepTime is a free video platform for uploading original videos, livestreaming, and watching other creators. Logged-in users also get something a lot of “upload sites” skip: an AI Video Editor built into the product. You cut on a multi-track timeline, talk to an assistant named Nova 1.0 [Beta], generate clips and audio when you need them, and hit Publish to NepTime when the cut is ready.

Sign-in required. The editor opens inside your NepTime account. If you visit https://neptime.io/ai-video-editor while signed out, you will be asked to sign in first.

What the AI Video Editor is

Think of it as a project room, not a public gallery. Projects move through statuses such as draft, rendering, completed, failed, and published. Clips sit on video, audio, text, and caption tracks. Effects and transitions are part of the timeline too.

You do not need a separate desktop NLE just to ship a short for your NepTime channel. You still might use one for other work. Here, the path from cut to channel stays inside one account.

What’s on the screen

The editor uses a three-pane layout:

The media library filters include Videos, Images, Audio, Music, and SFX. Character-style tools in the live editor include Ref→Image and Img→Video. Generation tools include text-to-video, image-to-video, AI voiceover / TTS, lip sync, effects and transitions, timeline editing, and the AI chat assistant.

For maximum video length, check the live editor for your plan or ask NepTime Support.

Nova 1.0 [Beta] vs generation models

Nova is NepTime’s AI chat assistant inside the editor. In the editor it appears as Nova 1.0 [Beta]. Nova can help drive timeline edits through chat. It is not affiliated with the third-party product at wearenova.ai.

Chat models Nova can use are listed publicly at https://neptime.io/nova-models. As of September 2026, that catalog lists about 41 active chat models across families such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Moonshot, MiniMax, NVIDIA, DeepSeek, Meta, and models offered through OpenRouter. That page lists chat models only.

Video, voice, music, lipsync, and other generation models are chosen inside the AI Video Editor, not on /nova-models. They are separate catalogs.

A simple create → publish flow

Here is a typical path from first cut to published video:

  1. Sign in and open the AI Video Editor.
  2. Start or open a project; drop media onto the multi-track timeline.
  3. Ask Nova for an edit suggestion, or generate a clip / voiceover / lipsync pass when the right model is selected in the editor.
  4. Preview, adjust duration and layers, add text or captions if you need them.
  5. When the render finishes cleanly, use Publish to NepTime to post it to your channel with a title, description, and category.

That is the whole loop: cut in-product, publish to the same place people already watch you.
