Turn raw footage into clips

Pair a coding harness with FFmpeg for scripted edits. Keep the original files and review a low-resolution preview before final export.

Trims, crops & repeatable exports

Components and their roles

Coding agentPlan + script the edit ↗FFmpegMedia processing ↗

How to get started

  1. Describe the cut list, aspect ratio, captions and export target.
  2. Have the agent create a reproducible edit script against copies.
  3. Check pacing, audio sync and subtitles; export after review.

Limitations

This is an editorial recipe, not a one-click packaged harness. Timeline-native projects require a separate editor integration.

Costs and licensing

FFmpeg is free software; model use and media licenses are separate.

Evidence level

Documentation reviewed · not hands-on tested. This is an editorial combination, not a packaged product or a benchmark result.
