For years we have been talking about Twitter bots that are capable of performing all kinds of tasks automatically, such as ‘Thread Reader’, which allows us to transform threads into perfectly readable pages.
VideoEditBot (@editvideobot) is a bot that has been gaining popularity on the social network for a few months, since allows us to edit both photos and videos from a few simple commands.
You will receive an answer with the edition in a few seconds
Your Creator, @pigeonburger, ensures that he would never have done this without confinement due to the coronavirus: “I did not have the time or a reason to do it, but I decided to resume it during the quarantine.”
The commands are quite similar to other bots, and in this page we can find the complete list. Thanks to these commands we can pixelate, rotate, fade in / fade out, invert colors, blur, distort or download the video.

Another thing we can do, for example, is change or add music to a video. A good example can be found in a tweet published hours ago by @EscenasANHQV (an account that is dedicated to publishing fragments of the series’There is no one living here‘).
Haz que Emilio baile una canción con el bot de videos. Hay que responder este tweet etiquetando a editvideobot y escribiendo “music=link de youtube, musicskip=segundo del video,” ambos con coma al final (importante). Hago ejemplo abajo ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/CStxt2LMZB

As we can see, this is a video in which a character (Emilio) appears dancing. To add music to that sceneYou simply have to tag the bot (remember, @editvideobot) and write “music = youtube link, musicskip = second of video,” (replacing each field, obviously).

As indicated in the tweet, it is important not to forget to add the commas. Yes, this it will only work if we follow the bot on Twitter. In the answers we can find the funniest mashups, and here are some examples.
Emilio dancing to the music of ‘Neon Genesis Evangelion’:

Or to the rhythm of ‘Yo Quiero Bailar’, by Sonia and Selena:

I have tried to use it, with the best known “song” Ibai Llanos, and the truth is that it works perfectly. In a matter of 20 seconds I got the answer with the edited video:

As we said before, the list of commands is very wide, and we can make all kinds of modifications to the videos. We are going to show you some of the effects that can be easily achieved with this bot.
Distort both image and sound:
— VideoEditBot (PLEASE READ PINNED!) (@editvideobot) December 14, 2020
Put the video in reverse:
— VideoEditBot (PLEASE READ PINNED!) (@editvideobot) December 14, 2020
Or something as simple as adding text over the video:
— VideoEditBot (PLEASE READ PINNED!) (@editvideobot) December 14, 2020
The possibilities are almost endless, and another interesting point is that in the bot’s web we can find the videos that we have created simply by entering our username on Twitter.
