It renders on your Mac. Ask for changes in plain words, and every render is saved as a numbered version you can go back to.
An editor, not a timeline
It plans the edit, checks its work, and fixes what's off.
Most AI editors run one filter over your video. VidAgent works like a human editor. It reads the transcript, picks the best take of each line, and cuts only where you actually pause. Then it watches its own render and fixes anything that looks wrong.
- Never cuts off a word
- Keeps your face in frame for vertical video
- Freezes on the product and circles the word that matters

Vertical, with you in frame
Turns landscape footage into 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, and keeps your face in the shot.
Freezes and highlights
Pauses on the moment that matters, then circles or marks the right word on a label or a screen.
B-roll and pictures
Cuts to your other clips, or finds product photos and images on the web to show what you're talking about.
Sound that's ready to post
Evens out your voice to the loudness social apps expect, adds sound effects, and keeps quiet moments quiet.
Every version saved
Each render is a numbered version. Compare them, chat about one, or go back with a tap.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is VidAgent?
A Mac app that edits your videos for you. Add your clips, describe the video you want, and it makes it, with cuts, captions, freezes, highlights, B-roll and sound. You can keep changing it by chatting.
Do I need to know how to edit?
No. There's no timeline to learn. Say what you want in plain words, and pick a style if you like.
Do my videos get uploaded?
No. Your clips and finished videos stay on your Mac, and VidAgent renders there. To edit, the AI reads transcripts and project details and can ask for a few still frames. VidAgent asks your permission first, and you can turn sharing off at any time.
How do Claude and ChatGPT work with it?
