3 use cases

  • Edit local clips into an MP4 without an API key

    Import local video, audio, and images, arrange them on a timeline, and export an MP4 in the browser.

    View prompt
    Use the BeatDesign repo at <repo path>. Start it with pnpm dev, import the local clips in <clip folder> into the Video Editor, arrange them in order, and export an MP4. Verify that the exported file plays in a browser.

  • Let an MCP agent edit the same timeline you see

    Connect a coding agent over local MCP so it updates Editor timelines, overlays, and captions in your open project.

    View prompt
    Using the BeatDesign MCP tools in <repo path>, open the latest project, add the clips in <clip folder> to a timeline, place the logo overlay at <logo file>, and style the SRT captions. Confirm the changes appear in the browser Editor and report what changed.

  • Generate and branch images and video on a Canvas

    Build a node-based image or video workflow on the infinite Canvas using your own BeatAPI key.

    View prompt
    In the BeatDesign repo at <repo path>, use the Canvas to connect a prompt node for <prompt text> to an image generation node, generate three variations, and list the resulting Asset names. Verify that each variation appears as an Asset in the project.
