Editonny

Editonny is an open-source video editing skill for coding agents that edits local recordings through conversation.

Editonny is a free, open-source video editing skill designed to work with Claude Code and Codex. Users describe desired changes in plain language, and the agent inspects the footage, measures cuts against the waveform, assembles a project, and exports a checked MP4 file. It removes pauses, mistakes, and repetitive sections while preserving complete words and natural pacing. The system includes a catalog of motion scenes and original clips to incorporate into projects. Transcription and rendering run locally on the user's computer. It is built for creators and developers who manage video projects using command-line agents.
