Open Edit
Open Edit is a command-line tool for agent-driven video creation, transcription, editing, and rendering.
Open Edit is a command-line tool designed for agent-driven video creation and editing, powered by VEED. It provides commands to transcribe videos using local tools like WhisperX or hosted VEED services, generate fabric footage from scripts, remove backgrounds, and re-lipsync audio tracks. Users can push finished edits to VEED projects or render HTML pages to video in headless Chrome. The tool also supports audio mixing, fetching licensed pictures, and managing workspace dependencies through a command-line interface. It runs locally and integrates with external AI models and APIs for processing video and audio assets.
