Video Use
Video Use is an open source tool to edit videos with coding agents using text transcripts and on-demand visuals.
Video Use allows users to edit videos by chatting with coding agents like Claude Code. Users drop raw footage into a folder, chat with the agent, and receive a final video file. The system uses a two-layer reading approach instead of watching video frames directly: an audio transcript loaded via ElevenLabs Scribe for word-level timestamps and speaker diarization, and an on-demand visual composite producing filmstrips and waveforms. It cuts filler words, auto color grades segments, applies audio fades, burns custom subtitles, generates animation overlays via tools like Remotion and Manim, and self-evaluates outputs at every cut boundary. It supports content types such as talking heads, montages, tutorials, travel, and interviews, and persists session memory in a project markdown file.
