Automating video editing as you delegate to a professional editor is the challenge of OneTake AIfounded by Sebastian Night And Vladimir Glusac Ril. The French startup wants to transform the post-production process using AI capable of understanding and executing instructions in natural language.
An AI that edits, cleans and publishes
OneTake allows any user to import a raw video, often shot “in one take”, to obtain a finalized rendering without manual intervention. Artificial intelligence removes silences, corrects audio, eliminates hesitations and cleans up rushes. The latest version, OneTake 7introduces a key function: natural language interaction.
User can simply write “put the title at the bottom” Or “place the text next to the presenter” so that the AI carries out the complete editing, without going through a timeline or technical menus. The tool goes further with automatic multilingual translation and the voice synchronization which allows you to publish the same video in French, English, Portuguese or Japanese.

Creators rather than technicians
The platform aims above all to trainers, coaches, authors and speakersa segment often constrained by the cost or complexity of assembly. According to Sébastien Knight, “editing remains an invisible but massive pain for independent experts”, estimating 900 euros the average cost of a one-hour montage carried out by a professional. OneTake reduces this expense to less than 1,000 euros per year for equivalent volumes, thanks to a model freemium accessible from 10 euros per month.
A community campaign to accelerate
To support the technical development and launch of OneTake 7the company completed a fundraising 1 million dollarsor approximately 850,000 eurosnear 33 investorsall platform users. This round table marks a key step before a future institutional liftingplanned to support international expansion.
The startup, based in Parisnow aims to establish itself as a European alternative to American players in automated video editing, in a market estimated at 6 billion euros.
