5 use cases

  • Caption a video locally with WhisperX at no cost

    Transcribe a video offline with WhisperX and get a transcript.json for captioning.

    View prompt
    In the Open Edit repo at veedstudio/open-edit, use the @veedstudio/openedit-cli commands to transcribe <video path> locally with the whisperx provider. Expect a transcript.json under runs/ for that video. Verify that the file contains word-level timestamps before you continue.

  • Send a finished edit to VEED's editor as a project

    Turn a finished plan into a VEED project a person can edit further, then pull it back.

    View prompt
    Using the Open Edit repo at veedstudio/open-edit, run veed-project on <plan file> and then open the resulting VEED project. Expect the editor to show footage, text, captions, and audio as separate items. Verify that the project opens in VEED before you tell the user it is ready.

  • Render an HTML motion graphic to a frame-exact video

    Turn an HTML page with animations into a silent H.264 video, frame by frame.

    View prompt
    In the veedstudio/open-edit repo, render <page.html> to out.mp4 with the render command and a duration matching the page timing. Expect a silent MP4 that matches the animation timing. Verify that the output is not a single flat colour before you deliver it.

  • Cut dead air and keep existing captions in sync

    Find speech ranges, apply a cut list in one encode, and retime the transcript to match.

    View prompt
    In the veedstudio/open-edit repo, probe speech in <video path>, write an edl.json with the kept ranges, then run apply-edl and retime-transcript. Expect cut.mp4 and a retimed transcript under runs/cut. Verify that the retimed transcript timings fall inside the cut duration.

  • Mix narration, music, and effects into one finished video

    Build one loudness-levelled audio track from many pieces and mux it onto a render.

    View prompt
    In the veedstudio/open-edit repo, run mix-audio on the run folder <run>, then mux-audio onto the silent render. Expect final.mp4 with the mixed audio. Verify from the command output which loudness correction ran before you report success.

How to use Open Edit

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js, so that npx can run @veedstudio/openedit-cli; A workspace folder for the project; FFmpeg, which install-ffmpeg can find or download.
  2. Open veedstudio/open-edit on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npx @veedstudio/openedit-cli init in an empty folder to set up the workspace. (inferred, check the README)
