Your AI agent can edit your videos now.
Makoedit is a video editor that lives in Claude Code, Codex and Claude Desktop. You give your agent the raw recording, and it cuts the story, designs the graphics, adds captions, sound and music, and hands you back a finished video.
- Lives in
- Claude Code, Codex, Claude Desktop
- Runs on
- A Mac with Apple Silicon
- Opens in
- DaVinci Resolve, for edits by hand
You talk to the camera once and hand the file to your agent. Makoedit watches the whole recording, keeps your best take of every line and cuts the rest. It designs graphics for what you actually say, adds captions, sound and music, and shows you a plan before it renders anything. Next time, it already knows your taste.
Here's what it does with your recording.
-
01
It finds the story
It reads the whole recording, keeps the best take of every line and drops the retakes, the false starts and the things you said twice.
-
02
It shows you a plan first
Before anything renders, you get a plan page with the cut, the graphics and the music. Tell your agent what to change in plain words.
-
03
It designs graphics for this video
It draws what you're talking about, like the numbers you mention, a post you quote or the app you use, and times it to your words.
-
04
It adds captions, sound and music
Captions that match the look of the video, sound effects where something happens on screen, and music that sits under your voice.
-
05
It renders the finished video
You get a file that's ready to post, whether it's a short for your phone or a long video for YouTube.
-
06
It learns your taste
Every note you give it is remembered, so your next video starts closer to how you like it.
These videos were edited with Makoedit.
They're excerpts from Czech YouTube videos, so the voice and the captions are in Czech. Turn the sound on anyway; the timing is the point.
The numbers he says become graphics
He says what he pays for AI each month. The monthly total, the cost meter and the post he mentions were all designed for this video.
The app he describes, typed out on screen
When he walks through a normal chat with an AI, the screen shows it happening, word by word, while he talks.
A 15:54 recording becomes a timeline
Here he explains the job itself: the raw file shrinks to the finished length and lands as a timeline in DaVinci.
A whole video, start to finish

A complete video edited with Makoedit, from the raw recording to the upload. It's in Czech, and it's about handing the editing over to AI.
Here are more videos it edited.
You can finish any edit by hand in DaVinci Resolve.
When you want to change something yourself, open the export in DaVinci Resolve. You get the whole edit as a real timeline: the cut on the first track, the graphics on the tracks above it, and voice, music and sound effects on their own audio tracks. Nothing is flattened, so you can move, trim or swap anything.
This is the whole 4:47 video the first three clips come from, drawn from its actual export.

Install Cutwright on this Mac for me. Run these lines:

mkdir -p /tmp/cutwright-install && cd /tmp/cutwright-install
curl -fsSLOJ -H "Authorization: Bearer your-license-key" https://makoedit.com/v1/package

~/cutwright-venv/bin/cutwright setup
Then connect it to yourself: ...Questions people ask first.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple Silicon and one of Claude Code, Codex or Claude Desktop. Your agent installs everything else it needs during setup.
Does it work on Windows or Linux?
Not yet. It needs a Mac with Apple Silicon.
Does it work in the ChatGPT app?
Not in the ChatGPT desktop app, because it can only connect to tools on the internet and Makoedit runs on your Mac. Codex works.
Do my videos get uploaded anywhere?
No. Your video files stay on your Mac. To make editing decisions, Makoedit sends the transcript, a few still frames and a few seconds of audio to its server, which asks the model and doesn't keep them.
Do I need my own AI account or key?
No. Your subscription includes AI credit for the editing. If you use it up, you can top up more.
Can I change the edit by hand?
Yes. Open the export in DaVinci Resolve and you get the full timeline with the cut, the graphics and the audio on separate tracks.
How do I cancel?
On your account page, any time. You log in with the e-mail you subscribed with.
