OpenEdit is an open-source, agent-driven video-editing pipeline from VEED. It has no graphical interface or timeline; an agent-agnostic skill and repository guide drive it through coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini. The pipeline can edit, cut, and reframe footage; create burned-in subtitles, motion graphics, charts, and visual elements; assemble slides, websites, stills, or generated media into video; capture web pages; and connect generation services or MCP servers when needed. Source footage is optional, and VEED Fabric can generate footage only with the user's approval. For captioning, the agent transcribes the video, designs the captions, renders the result, opens a video previewer, and accepts follow-up requests such as changing subtitle color, position, or emphasis. Transcription can use VEED, local offline WhisperX, or a user-supplied service; all providers must produce per-word timings, which are stored in a common transcript format. Caption styles are authored in HTML and CSS. The project includes VEED's closed-source but free-to-use HTML renderer, which does not require a headless browser; Chrome can be used as an alternative rendering backend. V1 primarily targets captions, while motion graphics, charts, and brand-book-matched styling are less exercised. OpenEdit supports Apple Silicon Macs and Windows x64 PCs. Intel Macs are unsupported, Linux support is planned, and Windows requires Git, Node, and ffmpeg. It can be installed from the repository or with `npx skills add veedstudio/open-edit`.

An installable set of Claude Code skills that teaches Claude to act as a first-pass video editor in DaVinci Resolve Studio. It guides a workflow that ingests footage, cuts retakes and dead air, preserves and places B-roll, applies vlog-pacing rules, prepares audio and music, creates one-line captions, adds Remotion-based motion overlays, and configures YouTube exports. The package contains skill instructions rather than application code; Claude builds the small scripts for the user's setup and uses Resolve's external scripting interface. It includes setup, rough-cut, B-roll, Resolve scripting, audio, captions, motion-overlay, Figma round-trip, and export skills, along with configuration and editing learnings. It requires DaVinci Resolve Studio, ffmpeg, Python 3.9 or later, and a speech-to-text API with word timestamps; Epidemic Sound MCP, Figma MCP, and Node with Remotion are optional. The repository is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0 and prohibits commercial use without the author's permission.

video-use is an open-source video-editing tool for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and Openclaw. It takes raw footage in a folder and produces an edited MP4, with support for removing filler words and dead space, applying FFmpeg color-grading chains, adding short audio fades at cuts, burning customizable subtitles, and generating animation overlays through HyperFrames, Remotion, Manim, or PIL. Its pipeline transcribes each source with ElevenLabs Scribe, packing word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, and audio events into a Markdown view. The agent reasons over that transcript and requests filmstrip, waveform, and word-label composites from timeline_view only at decision points, rather than processing every video frame as visual context. It then creates an edit decision list, renders the result, evaluates the rendered video at every cut boundary for visual jumps, audio pops, and subtitle problems, and can revise and re-render up to three times. The tool uses an approval-oriented workflow in which the agent inventories sources, proposes an editing strategy, waits for confirmation, executes the edit, evaluates it, and persists session memory in project.md. It requires FFmpeg and an ElevenLabs API key; yt-dlp is optional for downloading online sources. Outputs are placed in an edit directory next to the source footage.

ffmpeg-skill is an agent skill that gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other agents a local video- and audio-editing workflow built on FFmpeg and ffprobe. It uses a probe → edit, preferring stream copying where possible → check → verify process, with typed Python scripts rather than shell strings. Its 21 tools cover cutting, joining, silence removal, duration and aspect-ratio fitting, captions, overlays, graphics, HDR-to-SDR conversion, LUTs, audio cleanup, loudness, synchronization with drift correction, multicamera editing, delivery checks, project rendering, and batch processing. Each tool supports structured results and dry runs, and the machine-readable contract generates an MCP interface whose tool definitions are derived from the scripts. The skill runs locally without cloud services, API keys, or Python dependencies beyond the standard library; it requires FFmpeg 5.0 or later. It is a tool for local, agent-controlled workflows that probe, edit, verify, and render video.

An open-source AI agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, and similar coding agents that produces cinematic product, marketing, launch, and demo videos with Remotion. It provides shot recipe cards, motion previews, a reusable video template, and workflows for storyboarding, real page capture, animation, 2.5D camera moves, sound design, beat-synced cuts, and visual checks. The repository includes native Remotion components driven by normalized progress values, a gallery for browsing motion previews, and an optional JianYing project export that separates shot plates, captions, sound effects, and background music into editable tracks. It can be installed through the skills CLI, by cloning the repository, or by linking it into a Claude Code or Codex skills directory.
