how do i run it?

Needs FFmpeg, the uv tool, Claude Code, and an ElevenLabs API key for voiceover features.

The README does not state a license, so terms of reuse are unclear.

in plain english

video-editor-agent is a workbench for editing video with help from AI tools, built for a Chinese-speaking audience since its documentation is written in Chinese. It chains together several tools into one pipeline: FFmpeg handles precise cutting and joining of clips, Remotion handles programmable overlays and templates, ElevenLabs generates voiceover and narration, fal.ai generates AI media assets, and the final polish is left to manual editing in tools like Descript or CapCut. Setup is a single shell script that checks for and installs FFmpeg, the uv Python tool, and Claude Code, then creates the project's folders and a configuration file, and runs a health check. The script can be run again safely since it skips anything already installed. To actually use it, you set an ElevenLabs API key as an environment variable if you want voiceover, then start the Claude Code assistant and follow its prompts. The project organizes files into folders: raw footage and recordings, FFmpeg-cut segments, ElevenLabs voiceover audio, fal.ai generated media, the final output videos, the Remotion composition project, and any helper scripts. ElevenLabs is connected through the Model Context Protocol using a package called elevenlabs-mcp, while fal.ai is used through a separate skill rather than MCP, and FFmpeg and Remotion are used directly as command line tools. The README also includes a short cheat sheet of common FFmpeg commands for this workflow, covering cutting a clip by timestamp, converting video to a vertical 9:16 format, detecting silence to find places to cut, normalizing loudness, and concatenating clips together.
