The Agent lives in the Agent tab of the left panel. Tell it what you want, and it builds, edits, records and exports for you. It can even make a demo of your product from a description. Ask the Agent: “Make a 60-second tour of our new Reports page for the help center.” · “Open with the problem instead.”

​
How to ask

Type in Ask, edit, or make something… and press Enter (⇧Enter adds a line). The box also sits under the Script tab, so you can ask while you read. For your most important work, click Auto at the bottom of the box to switch to Max.
The Agent sees the playhead, the current scene and what you’ve selected, so you can select a clip and say “make this a bit shorter”.
Paste or drag in images, videos or a YouTube link, or click +, and add a message to go with them.

​
Get better results

  • Say what you want and what it’s for. The Agent knows your product and brand, and asks if it needs more.
  • Go back and forth. React to what it made, like “shorter” or “open with the problem”.
  • Name other videos to reuse their look, like “the same intro as our Getting Started video”.
  • Fix small things in a comment, at the exact moment on the timeline: press C and type after @Agent. See Review with comments.

​
While it works

The Agent working on a request, with a progress line and timer
  • To change direction, send a new message. To stop, tell it to stop. Unfinished work isn’t kept.
  • If you switch away from Yarn, a Mac notification tells you when it’s done.
  • Don’t like a change? Choose Show Version History… from the ⋯ menu next to the panel tabs, then point at a version and click Revert.
  • To start fresh, choose New Agent Chat from the same menu. This clears the chat.

​
What it can’t do yet

A few things take a click or two in the editor instead: zooms, a screen recording’s display, the voice, captions, background music, publishing a link, switching brands and the canvas size. Each page shows how.

​
Images and video

The Agent can make an image for your video, or change one you attach with +: “Make the sky in this image a sunset.” To turn an image into a short video clip, attach it and name Seedance: “Use Seedance to turn this screenshot into a 6-second clip that slowly moves in closer.” Agent edits and generated images and videos use credits.
