About FableCut

A browser video editor that AI agents can drive. FableCut is a Premiere-style non-linear video editor that runs entirely in your browser — and exposes its whole timeline as one JSON document. Edit it by hand, from the UI, or let an AI agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or anything that speaks MCP/REST) cut your video for you while you watch the timeline update live.
