Video editing · Rough-cut prep

Two hours of interviews.Six quotes on your timeline.

An agent works in a terminal card on your footage folder: pulls the audio with ffmpeg, transcribes every interview locally with Whisper, and picks the quotes that answer the producer’s brief. You change the list by voice, it writes an EDL and FCPXML your editor imports, and cuts the selects without touching the originals.

You swap one quote by dictation. Allow the cut when it asks.

Three interviews for a hospital documentary: the agent transcribes them, picks quotes against the brief, takes your dictated change and exports an EDL and selects for the edit.

Your footage stays put

Everything runs in a terminal card on your own disk: ffmpeg, the Whisper CLI and a small script the agent writes for the edit list.

Quotes against the brief

The brief is a note on the canvas. Each pick comes with the clip, the timecodes and the part of the brief it answers.

Change it by voice

Dictation turns “swap Mark’s last quote” into text in the agent card — no typing between two monitors.

Import, don’t retype

An EDL and FCPXML go straight into your NLE; the selects are stream copies, and the originals are never rewritten.
