Monty.fast is a web-based AI video editor for creators, founders, and small teams who make short-form video out of footage they filmed themselves. It is built for the clips already sitting on your phone, not for synthetic scenes: Monty does not generate AI actors, avatars, or text-to-video footage.
There are two ways in. The first is footage: upload an MP4 or MOV clip from your gallery and let Monty work with it. The second is a script: write the idea, or let Monty draft one, then record the take with the browser teleprompter so you keep eye contact with the camera while you read.
From there Monty prepares an editable preview. It cuts the pauses and the stumbles, syncs captions to speech word by word, picks music, adds b-roll where the text calls for it, and applies your brand colors, fonts, and logo. Nothing is published behind your back. You watch the preview, change what you want in the editor, approve the render, and download the finished video.
Output is short-form first: 9:16 for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok, plus 1:1 and 16:9 when you need them. Captions are burned in and styled for muted feeds, where most short video is actually watched.
Monty.fast is in closed beta. Publishing connections to social accounts are enabled per account during the beta, so treat the product today as an editor that hands you a finished file, with distribution as the next step rather than a promise. The free tier is real and does not expire, paid plans start at $29 per month, and no card is required to start.
Who it is for: founders recording product updates between meetings, solo creators who film a lot and edit little, agencies and small studios that need a repeatable pipeline instead of a freelance editor per clip, and teams that want the same look across every video without opening a timeline editor.
What makes it different: most AI video tools either generate footage that never existed or schedule posts they never edited. Monty sits in the middle, on the part that actually eats the day, turning real footage and a real voice into a publishable short video while keeping your face, your words, and your final say. That is the whole bet: your material, your approval, less time in the timeline. Pricing stays simple while the beta runs: a free tier with a watermark, and paid plans from $29 a month for longer clips, more videos and your own brand profile.
