Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source desktop video editor where AI agents can make timeline edits and people can review or adjust them by hand.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-19 issue.

For: Video creators working with AI coding agents
Worth noticing: The published JSON timeline schema is shared by the app, CLI, and agents, and can be tracked with Git diffs.

Field notes

A project folder can contain footage, its transcript, script text, a timeline for each video, and animations as code. The site says short-form edits branch from the same recording, avoiding copied footage. Its published timeline schema lets the app, CLI, and agents work on the same project file, with changes visible in Git diffs. The page labels the release alpha; it lists macOS, Windows, and Linux downloads.
