Make money with it
A freelancer could offer fast, AI-assisted short-form video production for local businesses and charge per video or on a monthly retainer.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Produce social media and product videos in-house instead of paying an editor or agency
- Use an AI assistant to carry out repetitive edits and draft cuts, saving editing time
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Download the DMG from the releases page and install it on a Mac running macOS 26 on Apple Silicon, then optionally add the MCP server with a one-line command.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Only releases up to v0.7.6 are open source (GPL-3.0); later releases are proprietary with no published source
- No longer accepts code contributions
- Works only on macOS 26 with Apple Silicon
- AI generation models likely need paid access or credits (not stated in the README)
