kimo: open-source GUI-less video editor driven by coding agents over MCP
LieTop7965 · reddit · 2026-10-22
College student Naman Sharma open-sourced kimo (MIT): a video editor with no timeline UI, driven entirely by coding agents (codex, cursor, opencode) over MCP tool calls — cut, trim, keyframes, captions, color grade, audio, export.
- Agents can render a single frame to self-check before a full render, avoiding 'caption covering the face' bugs
- One Rust binary, 15MB, CPU-only, runs on a 2GB box
- Known rough edges: audio sync, odd aspect ratios, caption positioning
