# Edit by a Professional

> Send a video for a professional edit from Home.

**Edit by a professional** is marked Beta. Use it when you want a person to edit the video instead of running an AI Edit yourself.

**1. Choose the project type**

On Home, open the project type menu and select **Edit by a professional**. The description is "Get your video professionally edited."

**2. Add the footage and the brief**

Import the video. In the prompt, describe the audience, the length, and what the edit must include. Attach references with the paperclip.

**3. Submit**

Select **Create my video** to send the project. Track it from the sidebar. When the edit is back, open it in the editor to review captions, timing, and export.

For an immediate AI cut of the same footage, use [AI Edit](https://captions.ai/help/web/start-with-your-footage/ai-edit.md).
