What you can do with it

  • Edit video by hand on a timeline with keyframes, effects, captions, an audio mixer and hardware-accelerated export
  • Connect Claude, Codex or another MCP client so it can trim, split, caption and restyle your project while you watch
  • Review an AI assistant's changes with notes on the timeline and a before-and-after comparison, then approve or revert them

Make money with it

A freelancer could offer fast-turnaround short-form video editing and captioning for local businesses, using an AI assistant to do the first rough cut.

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

Ways a business could use it

  • Speed up routine editing of interviews, social clips and promotional videos by having an AI assistant make first-pass cuts and captions
  • Produce branded lower thirds, countdowns and title cards as code-based overlays instead of paying for stock templates or motion graphics work

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

Download the installer for your system from the releases page, install it, then copy the connection prompt from the settings panel into your AI assistant.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Still under active development, so features and the interface may change before version 1.0
  • No verified macOS installer yet, so you must manually allow it in system settings
  • Needs a separate AI assistant (possibly paid) to use the agent features
  • Local speech and vision engines are an optional extra download
