> Open source video agent: code writes the film in HTML and you adjust it on a visual timeline

Worth exploring: The AI writes the edit as plain files and the visual timeline writes back to the same files

## What it is

The agent (Codex or Claude Code) writes the film as a film.html of tracks, and the local Studio lets you move, trim and cut clips on a timeline whose edits save back to the files. It exports the timeline to Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve and keeps named versions.

## What it’s for

For someone who wants the AI to assemble the first edit and then fix the cut by hand, without leaving the same file.

## Benefits

- A visual timeline that saves back to the same files
- Export to Final Cut, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve
- Named versions and a canvas for notes, media and shots

## Caveats

- It is MIT for the format, CLI, Studio and app, but the OpenFilm name and logo are trademarks.
- It needs Node 22.2+, ffmpeg and git, and the first run downloads a headless Chromium of about 100 MB; generated voice, music and images need your own keys.
