# free247editor
A free, open-source personal video editor that runs inside your AI coding agent: Claude Code,
Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and others that support
Agent Skills.
Drop in a raw video and say **"edit this"**. You get back a cut, captioned edit with motion
graphics, zoom-ins, and sound. Then give notes in plain words (English, Tagalog, Taglish),
the way you would to a human editor. Lasting notes become rules it follows on every
future edit, so it learns your style.
## Setup (once)
### One prompt
Open your agent in any folder (for example `claude` or `codex` in a terminal, or a new chat
in Cursor or Antigravity) and paste:
 [code] 
From then on, open your agent in the `free247editor` folder so it finds the skill. The
Claude desktop app works too: in its Code tab, pick Local and the folder.
### Step by step
1. **Get it.** `git clone https://github.com/riecodes/free247editor.git`, or use
 *Code > Download ZIP* on GitHub and unzip it.
2. **Open the folder in your agent.** In a terminal: `cd free247editor` then `claude` or
 `codex`. In Cursor, Antigravity, or Windsurf, open the folder as the workspace.
3. **Type `start`.** The agent checks your computer, installs what is missing (with your OK),
 renders a test video, and asks a few questions about your style.
## Editing
1. Put a raw video in the `inbox` folder, or drag it into the agent's chat.
2. Say **"edit this"**.
3. Watch the draft from `outbox`, say what to change, and repeat until you say "final".
Plain words are enough; every agent picks the skill from its description. You can also call
it by name: `/free247editor` in Claude Code and Cursor, `$free247editor` in Codex.
Vertical 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts by default. Ask for a horizontal version for
YouTube and it gets its own framing and text placement.
## What it does
| | |
| --- | --- |
| Cuts | Removes dead air, breaths, false starts, and retakes |
| Captions | Word by word, bold key words, key-word pills, or subtitles, in your position and colors |
| Hook | Big text in the first 3 seconds, if you want it |
| Motion graphics | Animated cards, pop-up clips, and overlays (HyperFrames + GSAP) |
| Camera | Zoom-ins and reframing that keep your face clear |
| Color | Natural, warm, cool, black and white, or orange and teal |
| Sound | Sound effects and a music bed from files you put in `my-sounds` |
| Learning | Your notes are saved as rules in `my-rules.md` and applied every time |
## What you need
- **An AI coding agent that can run terminal commands**, such as Claude Code (paid Claude
 plan; Pro works, Max is better if you edit often), Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI,
 GitHub Copilot agent mode, or Windsurf. Editing uses a lot of usage. Codex blocks internet
 in its sandbox by default, so approve network access when setup or transcription asks.
- **Node.js 22+, Git, FFmpeg, and Chrome.** Setup tells you what is missing and the agent can
 install it for you.
- **Transcription, free
