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`.
