Readme
openmode
Video editing and rendering for coding agents. An open-source CLI and MCP server that lets Claude Code, Codex and Cursor look at footage, cut it, caption it, render Blender scenes and produce an MP4. It runs on your machine with your own ffmpeg and Blender: no account, no upload, no API key, no cost.

Then ask: "Cut the silences out of interview.mp4, add captions, and make a vertical version."
