open-edit

by veedstudio

Open Edit is a command-line tool that lets an AI agent, such as Claude Code, make and edit videos, including subtitles, motion graphics and slides. It handles transcription, background removal, lip-sync and AI-generated presenter footage, and can hand a finished edit to VEED's online editor.

What you can do with it

  • Remove a video's background or re-sync lips to a new audio track
  • Generate presenter footage from a script and send the edit to VEED's editor for tidying

Could replace

  • VEED

Our suggestion based on what it does, not a feature-by-feature comparison.

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer a captioning and short-form video editing service, using the agent to speed up delivery for clients.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Add captions and subtitles to social media or marketing videos without paying for a subscription editor
  • Produce scripted explainer or product videos with AI presenters without filming

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Run it with npx (Node.js required), then install FFmpeg and optionally WhisperX using the built-in install commands, and log in with a VEED account for hosted features.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Hosted features need a VEED login and spend VEED credits
  • Background removal and lip-sync need a paid fal API key
  • Tied closely to VEED's services
  • Local WhisperX transcription may be slow without a GPU
  • The FFmpeg auto-download only works on Windows; macOS and Linux users install it themselves
