video-use edits raw footage into final.mp4 by reading transcripts, not frames
alex_verem · x · 2026-07-23
video-use turns raw footage into a finished edit by converting video into a transcript first, then editing from text instead of frames.
- Drop clips into a folder and ask for an edit, and it returns a final.mp4.
- It uses speech timing, speakers, and pauses to cut on sentence boundaries rather than mid-word.
- The tool can also create animations and graphics overlays, and it remembers project state across sessions.
- It runs locally on your own machine; only audio is sent out for transcription via ElevenLabs.
- The project is open source and had more than 17,600 GitHub stars at the time of the post.
