video-use is an open-source tool that lets you edit videos by chatting with an AI coding agent. Drop raw footage in a folder, tell the agent what you want, and it produces a final edited video with cuts, color grading, subtitles, and animations.
video-use is a fully open-source video editing tool designed to work with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and others. It allows you to edit videos by simply describing your edits in natural language. The tool automatically cuts out filler words and dead space, applies color grading, adds audio fades, burns subtitles, and can generate animation overlays using tools like HyperFrames, Remotion, Manim, or PIL. It self-evaluates the rendered output at every cut boundary and persists session memory in a project file so you can pick up where you left off. The LLM never watches the video; instead, it reads an audio transcript with word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, giving it everything it needs to make precise cuts. video-use is ideal for content creators, developers, and anyone who wants to streamline their video editing workflow using AI.
Strong trust signals; still review the README and permissions before production use.
