Everything you need to create
professional content

From recording to publishing — one app replaces your entire video production workflow.

AI Titles & Descriptions

Generate YouTube-ready titles, descriptions, and chapter timestamps. Output quality scales with whichever model you connect — Claude Opus or GPT-4 produce noticeably better titles than the bundled budget models other tools ship.

Remove Fillers & Silences

Strip out "um", "uh", awkward pauses, and repeated words in one click. Edit by deleting text in the transcript — the video follows.

Local — runs on your machine

Audio Enhancement

One-click background noise removal powered by RNNoise. Crystal-clear audio from any microphone, no cloud round-trip.

Local — runs on your machine

Transcript-Based Editing

Auto-transcribe every recording and edit by deleting words. Faster than a timeline for talking-head content.

Local — runs on your machine

Record Screen & Camera

Capture your screen, webcam, or both. Picture-in-picture, side-by-side, or vertical stack layouts.

Animated Captions

8 caption styles — Classic, Modern, Bold, Neon, Spotlight & more. Customize fonts, colors, and positioning.

Zoom & Pan Effects

Add zoom regions to highlight key areas. Auto-suggested from your cursor movement, or place them manually.

Speed Regions

Speed up or slow down any section from 0.25x to 2x. Perfect for fast-forwarding setup steps or slow-motion reveals.

Annotations & Overlays

Add text, images, and figures on top of your video. Layer media overlays for picture-in-picture effects.

Professional Styling

Wallpapers, gradients, shadows, blur, rounded corners, and padding. Make screen recordings look polished.

Multi-Format Export

Export as MP4 or GIF. Optimized for YouTube (16:9), Shorts (9:16), Twitter, and LinkedIn. FFmpeg-powered for speed.

Agent-Controllable

MCP server + CLI surfaces 150+ verbs to Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents. Drive the editor with natural language — no UI clicks required.
