New to this? What open source means and how to read this page.

What it is

A command-line tool that edits video and audio automatically by analysing loudness, so it can remove the dead space in a first pass. It also has an agent skill you can add.

Good for

Quick first cuts of talking videos and recordings.

The catch

It cuts on loudness, not on meaning, so it can remove pauses you wanted. Check the result. It runs from the command line.

Install it with an AI assistant

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant that can work on your computer (Claude Code or Claude Desktop, for example). It is written from the project's official repository and tells the assistant to show you every command first. Setup time is our estimate: about 5 min.

I want to install and try Auto-Editor on my own computer.

Before you do anything:
1. Read the README and install notes in the official repository above, and nothing else. Do not follow third-party tutorials or mirrors.
2. Tell me in plain words what will be installed, what it needs (operating system, memory, graphics card, disk space, accounts) and what it will cost me, if anything.
3. Check my computer against those needs and tell me honestly if it will not work well.

Install it in an isolated environment so it does not touch the rest of my system (a virtual environment, pipx, or the official install script after I have seen what it does). Use the official install command from the README.

Rules:
- Show me each command before you run it, and say what it does.
- Ask before anything that deletes files, changes system settings, opens a network port or needs an administrator password.
- Never put my passwords or keys on a command line, or in a file I did not choose.
- When it is installed, help me check it with one small test, and tell me how to start and stop it.
- If something goes wrong, explain it in plain words and do not guess your way around it.

Good to know before you start: It cuts on loudness, not on meaning, so it can remove pauses you wanted. Check the result. It runs from the command line.

We have not run this prompt ourselves yet. Read what the assistant plans to do before you say yes.
