video-edit-cli¶
Turn raw recordings into publish-ready videos with your AI agent. video-edit-cli lets your agent inspect, transcribe, cut, master, and package video. Its bundled skill teaches the agent how to edit podcasts, make YouTube Shorts with burned-in subtitles, sync multi-camera shoots, and restore audio. It is open source, runs locally, and has no watermarks or per-clip credits.
It works with any coding agent that supports skills: Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Cursor, Copilot, Amp, and others.
Get started¶
Install the video-edit-cli skill into your project with
skills.sh (it installs into every agent you use):
Then ask your agent to edit a recording. The skill guides the agent through the
workflow, including installing the video-edit-cli CLI
(uv tool install video-edit-cli) if it isn't on PATH. Only ffmpeg and
ffprobe must be installed separately.

- Workflows — recipes for a main edit, a vertical short, audio restoration, subtitles, and multi-camera sync.
- CLI reference — every command and flag.
- Agent skills — the bundled skills that teach agents the editing method.
