Turn your own raw talking-head recording (phone or webcam, several takes, flubs, "um"s and pauses) into a finished vertical reel for $0, locally. Local tools transcribe it word by word, keep the best take of every line, cut false starts, fillers and dead air, then snipshorts' Remotion composition frames your face in 9:16 and adds word-synced captions (bold, bounce or clean), punch zooms, motion graphics, SFX, noise removal and a -14 LUFS master. Use when the user asks to edit, cut or clean up…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# edit-footage

Turns a person's own raw recording into a finished vertical reel with free, local tools. It sits on snipshorts: same transcript tool, same face framing, same `PodcastShort` composition, edit plan, SFX and master. What it adds is the editing a human would do on raw footage: **the best take of each line, with false starts, fillers and pauses gone.** The only step that calls an agent CLI is the edit plan (zooms, graphics, caption fixes), through snipshorts' `tools/podcast/llm.py` (Claude Code by default, or `SNIPSHORTS_LLM`). Project rules in `AGENTS.md` still apply.

> **Always show the kept script before rendering.** The first run stops after picking takes. Show the user the ✓/✗ script, fix what they want changed, and render only after they OK it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thenoumandev/zero-dollar-studio/edit-footage@sha256:93198ccb33ff6602

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.a52f8ed, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
