The whole loop, one window.

01

Record

Screen, camera, or a remote guest by link. Full quality, captured locally.

02

Edit

Delete words from the transcript and the video follows. Fillers and silences gone in a click.

03

Publish

Captions, zooms, AI titles and thumbnails, then straight to YouTube.

Bring your own AI

Connect your ChatGPT. Edit like a pro.

Plug in your own ChatGPT or Claude, or drive PandaStudio from OpenClaw or Hermes — and edit by asking. Titles, captions, cuts, whole videos. Your AI, your quota — no markup, no extra subscription.

On it. Trimmed to 0:58, removed 31 fillers, added neon captions, exported 9:16. ✓
Edit by text

If you can delete a word, you can edit a video.

Every recording is transcribed on-device. Delete text and the video re-cuts to match. Strip "um", "uh" and dead air across the whole timeline in one click — no scrubbing, no razor tool.

  • Remove filler words like “um” and “uh”
  • Remove repeated words and false starts
  • Remove silences over a threshold

Motion graphics. Transitions. Captions. One click each.

Drop in a chapter card, a glitch transition, an animated caption track — without leaving the editor. Pre-designed templates, brand-color aware, ready in a click. The polish a hired editor would charge you for, in the time it takes to scrub the timeline.

  • 13 motion-graphic templates — lower thirds, stat reveals, side panels, chapter cards
  • 6 scene transitions — fade, flash, glitch, film burn, light sweep
  • 10 caption styles, fully brand-color aware
Agent-native

The first editor your AI can actually drive.

A CLI and MCP server expose 150+ editing verbs to Claude, Cursor and any agent. Describe the edit in plain English; the agent cuts, captions, lays out and exports. No clicks required.
