How it works

From your footage to a finished video in three steps.

One purchase gets you both apps: the Mac app now, and the iPhone app when it launches.

  1. 1

    Add your clips

    Add video files from your Mac, including clips you filmed on your phone. VidAgent transcribes and studies them on your Mac.

  2. 2

    Say what you want

    "A 30 second short, hook first." Choose a look and a caption style, or let VidAgent decide.

  3. 3

    Get a finished video

    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.

Pay once, bring your AI

One price. Claude or ChatGPT does the editing.

VidAgent is $29.99, once. No subscription. It plugs into Claude and ChatGPT through MCP, the open standard for connecting tools to AI, so the assistant you already use can plan, cut, caption and render your video right from the chat.

  1. ✳◎

    You ask in Claude or ChatGPT

    "Make a 30 second short from my coffee clips. Hook first, Spotlight captions."

  2. VidAgent does the work on your Mac

    Reads the transcript, picks the best takes, cuts at the pauses, adds captions and renders. Your clips never leave your Mac.

  3. ▶

    A finished video, ready to post

    Ask for changes the same way. Every render is saved as a numbered version.

Connecting needs your own Claude or ChatGPT account. How the connection works

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

Features

The tedious parts of editing, done for you.

Clean cuts

Auto trim takes out filler words, silences and retakes, and cuts only at natural pauses.

Word-by-word captions

Made from what you say, timed to every word. Nothing to type, nothing to sync.

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.

Edit by chatting

"Make the hook shorter." "Use the second take." "More energy." Say it in plain words and it gets done.

Your footage never leaves your Mac.

VidAgent studies and renders your videos on the device. The AI works from transcripts and the few frames it asks to see. It asks before it shares anything, and it never uploads your original clips. Read the privacy policy
