What it does

An NLE exposed over MCP: agents edit the timeline, humans review.

The video editor your AI agent can drive like you do. Point Codex, Claude, or any MCP client at a real desktop NLE — and watch every edit land on your timeline while it plays. Code renders as video, so your agent can build editable clips.

An agent works over MCP while playback runs: restyling the lower third, trimming the B-roll, then undoing both — every edit lands in the UI in real time, every Agent action is recorded.
