First edit, in plain language
Once connected, this is a conversation, not code:“Open my latest AskEditor project beside this chat.” → the agent callslist_projects,open_projectandget_editor_url, and the editor opens. “Cut the long pauses and add captions.” → the agent reads what the clip says withget_clip_transcript, cuts the timeline, adds the captions, and looks at the result withwatch_editbefore telling you it is done. “Export it.” → the agent callsexport_video, thenget_exportuntil the film is ready, and gives you the download link.
What it costs
Editing is free. Paid work (generated video, pictures, voices and music) uses your AskEditor credits, and anything that costs more than a few credits, or deletes something, asks you first. See Connect over MCP and askeditor.com/pricing.Next
