How to Edit a Travel Vlog With AI: Files, Chapters and Cost
Organize trip footage, understand the AI moment log and chapter edit, keep whole sentences, review b-roll and music, and budget your source minutes.
To edit a travel vlog with AI in Sentarys, organize your trip files, upload them into one long-edit project, let the AI log the moments and assemble chapters, then adjust scenes, speech, music and captions in the chapter editor. A new account receives the first chapter free, reading up to four hours of footage. Paid long editing uses 80 credits per source minute.
1. Organize the trip files before uploading
Put footage from your phone, camera and drone in folders by day or place. Keep the original filenames or add clear names such as “day-02-market”. Remove accidental duplicates and unusable recordings. Keep both talking-to-camera clips and establishing shots. Write a short goal: “arrival, a day at the market, then the journey home.” A project accepts up to 300 files and 12 hours of material.
2. Let the AI build a moment log
The AI reads the footage and records moments it can use: what happens, where speech matters and which shots help explain the trip. You still supply the trip's purpose and decide what belongs in the final story. Review whether key events are represented before polishing small details. A beautiful shot can provide context even when nobody speaks.
3. Review chapters and complete speech
The edit organizes the moments into chapters. Watch the first chapter from beginning to end. Check whether the location and change of activity are clear. Sentarys keeps talking moments as whole sentences. Listen for the start of an explanation and its conclusion; shorten repetition without removing a condition or the reason something happened.
4. Check b-roll, music and captions
B-roll from your other files can cover gaps while your voice continues. Match the image to the place or action being described. Avoid a shot from another day that suggests an event happened differently. The edit includes music per chapter and captions. Keep the music below speech and review place names, local dishes and numbers in captions.
5. Adjust the chapter editor
Open the chapter you want to change. Replace a scene, trim an unnecessary stretch or choose different music. Replay the transition into the next chapter. Work on one problem at a time: first story order, then sentence boundaries, then shots and sound. Watch the entire edit after the local adjustments so the trip still has a beginning and an ending.
How much will the vlog cost?
| Source material read | Long-edit credits |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | 2,000 minimum |
| 60 minutes | 4,800 |
| 120 minutes | 9,600 |
| 240 minutes | 19,200 |
| 720 minutes | 57,600 |
The charge follows source duration, even if the final vlog is much shorter. The pricing function applies a 2,000-credit minimum and rounds up to a multiple of 10. Pro costs US$10/month with 30,000 credits and no watermark. Used entirely for long editing, that balance covers 375 source minutes. A 12-hour project exceeds one monthly allowance.
What does the free chapter include?
A new account gets the first chapter free, with up to four hours read for that preview. This lets you inspect the story, speech and scenes before paying for the whole edit. The project limit of 12 hours is larger than the free-preview reading limit. Review the project's estimate before processing the full material.
Start with the AI vlog editor and use one trip to evaluate the free first chapter.
