Velorn lets Claude directly control an open-source video editor
Velorn is a free video editor built with Claude. It was made by a film and TV visual effects artist with 25 years of experience, and it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The main idea is that Claude does not only help build the editor; it can also operate the editor itself.
Velorn includes a local with more than 100 tools, and Claude Code can be connected with one copy-paste step. After that, Claude can read the timeline, inspect video frames, and review an edit shot by shot. It can also make real editing changes, including trims, moves, transitions, speed changes, text, , and keyframes.
With ComfyUI, it can generate images, video, and music through or an API, then bring community workflows into the project after checking for missing nodes or models and asking for approval before installing them. For audio, Claude cannot hear the music directly, but it can read volume levels, adjust faders, use , export the project, and check the result. Write actions show a plan before they run and go onto the normal undo stack, so changes can be reversed.
