The video editing API

Turn rough footage into finished video.

Point your agent at the footage. It writes the edit. CueFrame renders it — the same way, every time.

One command · Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code — and 10 more
npx -y cueframe install

Detects the agents on your machine and wires CueFrame into each. No API key — your agent opens a browser to authorize on first call.
On Claude Code you can instead paste its skill. On ChatGPT, add api.cueframe.ai/v1/mcp as a connector. Building a pipeline? It's three REST calls.

$20.00 to start, no card. Your agent signs in from the browser, so there are no keys to paste.

No footage. Just a brief.

Every frame is a real render. Every shot came from licensed stock. Click a card to read the prompt behind it.

The edit is data

Change one line, not the whole video.

The edit is plain data. Read it, version it, change one line. A change costs a re-render, not a re-edit. Run it again untouched and the same video comes back. That's the point.

format: "9:16"
format: "1:1"

A new shape for a new platform. Same footage, same type, same timing — nothing was re-cut.

overlay: "48 hours"
overlay: "72 hours"

The recipe changed, so the number did. The shot behind it never moved.

Checking an edit is free. Previews cost pennies. You pay when you render, and a short costs $0.50. Next week's episode reuses the same edit, so you never start over. And it exports to Premiere or Final Cut whenever you want.

How you'd use it

Ask for the video you want.

you, to your agent — plain English
1

Upload

Point CueFrame at your footage, a file or a URL. It transcribes the audio and finds the speakers for you.

2

Compose

Your agent writes the edit as data: which clips, where the captions sit, your brand.

3

Render

One call turns it into finished video. Any aspect ratio, up to 4K.

Building a pipeline instead? The same three steps are three REST calls — get an API key or read the setup guide.

  • The camera follows whoever's talking — a moving frame, not a static crop.
  • Text and captions behind the speaker — composited from the footage, no masking.
  • Every aspect ratio from one edit — never re-edited per platform.
Pricing

Any video up to a minute renders for $0.50.

Rendering bills by the output minute, rounded up. A three-minute cut is $1.50. 4K counts double, 720p half. Transcription costs pennies. No subscription and no seats — just prepaid credits that don't expire, and you start with $20.00 free, no card.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do I need to know video editing?

No. You describe the video you want; your agent writes the edit and CueFrame does the editor's work — framing, captions, pacing, brand. If you can review a draft, you can ship video.

What do I upload?

Real footage: a talk, a podcast recording, a product walkthrough, a founder update. A file or a URL. CueFrame transcribes it and finds the speakers so the edit can follow them.

Which AI tools does this work with?

Run npx -y cueframe install and it wires CueFrame into every agent it finds on your machine — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI and more. Claude Desktop and ChatGPT can't be wired from the command line (neither reads a local MCP config), so add api.cueframe.ai/v1/mcp as a custom connector instead. There's a plain REST API too.

What does a video cost?

Rendering bills by output minute, rounded up to the next whole minute: anything up to a minute costs $0.50, a three-minute cut $1.50. 4K counts double, 720p half. Transcription is pennies per minute, and you start with $20.00 in free credits — no card.

Will the same edit always produce the same video?

Yes. The edit is data, and rendering it is repeatable — pin the edit and you get the same video back. Writing the edit is the creative part, so an agent may draft it differently run to run; but once it's written, nothing re-rolls. Change one line and only that one thing changes.

Can I open the edit in Premiere or Final Cut?

Yes — export the timeline any time and finish by hand. No lock-in.

Your next video is one paste away.

Run one command, then ask your agent for a video. Or start free in the console.
