ForgeCut GitHub

Desktop video editing / Linux-first

Your footage.
Your final say.

Cut the footage. Place the music. Make the titles feel right.

ForgeCut brings a timeline, visual controls and editable Remotion graphics into one workspace. An MCP bridge lets your agent work alongside you.

The everyday edit

The details are
part of the cut.

01 / Assemble

Find the moments.

Save source ranges with notes. Review contact sheets, waveforms and short previews, then trim, split and arrange your footage on the timeline.

02 / Shape

Get your hands on it.

Change text, fonts, artwork, colour and placement. Move and resize graphic layers on the canvas, or save a style to use again.

03 / Finish

Make a few versions.

Keep landscape and portrait sequences in one project. Export a short review, queue MP4 or WebM outputs, and collect the project with its media.

MCP / A shared project

Work with an agent.
Keep the edit in reach.

Talk to Codex or another MCP client while ForgeCut stays open. Ask for a cut, then refine it yourself. The agent can read the current project and continue from your changes.

  1. 01

    Start with your footage

    Import sources and choose the ranges worth keeping.

  2. 02

    Ask for an assembly

    The agent edits the same project you see in the editor.

  3. 03

    Make it your own

    Tune the shot, wording, music and crop with visual controls.

  4. 04

    Carry on together

    Continue from the current state. Undo and saved projects stay in the editor.

Inside the editor

Visual first.
Code when you need it.

Use the Inspector for everyday changes. Open the Remotion source in the bundled Monaco workspace when an animation needs more than a control. Preview a draft before applying it.

Editable source travels with the project, alongside artwork, fonts and their licence information.

The project comes with you

Save the whole edit.

Reopen your project without an agent. Collect the source code, artwork, fonts and selected media into a portable folder. Keep larger recordings external when you prefer, with relinking when their location changes.
