1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,320
We keep a close eye on

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,220
what professional editors already offer.

3
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:06,080
This time:

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,620
AI assistants that edit for you.

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,540
DaVinci Resolve Studio has a

6
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:14,380
built-in MCP server for this.

7
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,360
Adobe connects has an official

8
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,380
connector for quick video jobs

9
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:19,620
in the cloud,

10
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:22,100
but controlling the timeline of Premiere

11
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:24,700
Pro or Final Cut Pro still

12
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:26,420
takes add-ons from the community.

13
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:28,720
Now Cinelerra has its

14
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,080
own MCP server,

15
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,620
too, built in,

16
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:33,500
free and open source.

17
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,160
Turn it on once.

18
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:37,460
In the preferences,

19
00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:39,580
search for remote control,

20
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:41,740
and allow AI tools

21
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:43,640
to control Cinelerra.

22
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,760
It opens a private local socket,

23
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,940
and every call is logged.

24
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:51,710
Then register Cinelerra

25
00:00:51,710 --> 00:00:53,230
with your assistant.

26
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:54,290
For Claude Code,

27
00:00:54,290 --> 00:00:55,790
that's one line.

28
00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:57,870
Codex works the same way.

29
00:00:58,670 --> 00:01:01,490
Here is a very simple example,

30
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:02,330
just to show what

31
00:01:02,330 --> 00:01:03,390
it can do.

32
00:01:03,390 --> 00:01:05,310
You simply say what you want.

33
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,500
The clip goes onto

34
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,380
the empty tracks,

35
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:10,160
and the view zooms out,

36
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,440
so the whole clip

37
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,440
is in view.

38
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,940
Cutting the later range first

39
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:17,280
keeps the earlier times valid.

40
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:20,460
Each change is one undo step.

41
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,060
Then Brightness and

42
00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:24,120
Contrast goes on,

43
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,920
with its values set.

44
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,900
And the assistant can see.

45
00:01:29,220 --> 00:01:30,720
It fetches the frames on

46
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,400
both sides of the cut.

47
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,100
That way it can check

48
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:36,160
that the picture really jumps.

49
00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:38,250
At the end,

50
00:01:38,250 --> 00:01:39,950
it reports what changed.

51
00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:41,330
The clip is now

52
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:42,830
forty seconds long.

53
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,080
That was only a small part,

54
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,840
it can do much more.

55
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,200
The assistant can also remove,

56
00:01:50,540 --> 00:01:53,800
move, enable and disable effects,

57
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,160
set single parameters,

58
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,160
apply and save presets,

59
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,880
and drive the effect inspector.

60
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,860
It lists tracks,

61
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:04,820
clips and media,

62
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:07,620
selects clips, arms tracks,

63
00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:10,340
jumps between edits and labels,

64
00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:11,960
and saves the project

65
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,380
under a new name.

66
00:02:13,380 --> 00:02:14,500
It grabs a frame

67
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:15,980
at any point,

68
00:02:15,980 --> 00:02:17,420
and hears about every

69
00:02:17,420 --> 00:02:18,980
change to the project.

70
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,720
In all, there are forty-five verbs

71
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320
and over three hundred commands.

72
00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:27,130
This is an early version,

73
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:29,550
and only the first step.

74
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:31,550
Rendering, inserting and

75
00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:32,270
moving clips,

76
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:33,790
and automatic editing

77
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:34,590
are prepared,

78
00:02:34,590 --> 00:02:36,990
but not available yet.

79
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,370
Scene detection comes next,

80
00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:39,550
and with it,

81
00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:41,750
even more professional tools.
