OpenKlip

Open source

Agent-native video toolchain

Local-first video editing for agents and humans. Run the edit loop from the CLI, review in the browser, keep every project as plain files on disk.

MIT License. Built for agents that edit by reading and writing files.

github.com/craftled/openklip

The editor runs locally on macOS today. This site is the project home; install from GitHub to edit video.

OpenKlip demo: transcript editing and export

Agent at the terminal

Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or your scripts drive cuts, overlays, and export through the CLI and MCP.

Human at the browser

Review the same project.json in the editor: transcript cuts, overlays, captions, and export.

Plain files on disk

Every project is a folder. project.json is the edit. No database, no cloud lock-in.
