Edit raw footage into a finished cut by conversation, fully local. Drop clips in a folder, describe the video you want, get edit/final.mp4 back. Local-first raw-footage video editor — the editorial counterpart to the generative Remotion/launch-video skills. Uses a two-layer reading system (local faster_whisper word-level transcript + on-demand timeline_view composite) so the agent cuts with word-boundary precision without ever dumping video frames — llm-as-index applied to video. Swaps cloud…
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
# video-cut — local-first raw-footage video editor Drop raw clips in a folder → describe the cut → get `edit/final.mp4`. Fully local. The **editorial** counterpart to our **generative** video skills (`launch-video`, `Remotion`, `cloned-voice-pitch-pipeline`). Compounds on [`browser-use/video-use`](https://github.com/browser-use/video-use): same two-layer reading architecture, but local ASR instead of cloud ElevenLabs Scribe. ## Core principle — two-layer reading (never dump frames) The agent reads video through two cheap layers, not by watching frames: 1. **Transcript layer** — `transcribe_local.py` runs `faster_whisper` with word-level timestamps (local, MPS/CPU). Packed into `takes_packed.md` (~tens of KB) — the primary reading artifact. This is the *routing projection*. 2. **Visual layer (on-demand)** — `timeline_view.py <video> <start> <end>` renders a filmstrip + waveform + word-label PNG **only at decision points** (ambiguous pauses, retake comparisons, cut-point checks). Never a scan — the *body-grep* expansion. This is `research/entities/pattern/llm-as-index-architecture.md` applied to the video …

How to install
mdr add broomva/skills/video-cut@sha256:7b8b7368315b5402The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260628.871c8a6, 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.
