OpenChatCut
Local-first conversational video editor whose built-in agent and external MCP clients share one set of timeline tools.
Free
- I edit interviews by deleting words from a transcript and want Claude Code to do the rough cut while I keep undo and the timeline
- I want a CapCut-style editor where my keys stay on my machine and an agent proposes edits I approve
- AI generation: image, video, speech, music
- Export MP4, audio, captions, FCPXML
- Delete a project
1 more job is undetermined.
- AGPL-3.0
- macOS builds are unsigned and not notarized; Gatekeeper will need manual approval
- External MCP sessions cannot generate, export, or delete; those stay in the UI or the built-in agent
- Requires Node 24.x to run from source
Velorn
Open-source desktop video workstation with a local MCP server of 100+ tools and ComfyUI-backed generation.
Free
- I run ComfyUI locally and want a real timeline around it that my agent can review and edit
- I make music videos or UGC ads from generated shots and want the whole project in one desktop app
- Launch or restart ComfyUI
2 more jobs are undetermined.
- GPL-3.0
- All generation needs a separately installed local ComfyUI; heavy video workflows may want 24 GB+ VRAM
- MCP binds to 127.0.0.1:19790 with no auth; any local process can call it
- Imports, exports, and generated files are not undoable; the docs tell agents to preview and ask first
