Vidmoat
Vidmoat is an agent-first video editor designed to automate the editing workflow: users type natural-language instructions (or connect external agents) and the system cuts footage, applies captions, grades color, matches B-roll and renders finished videos optimized for social platforms. It is positioned for individual creators and teams: a free Hobby tier is available for testing, a Creator tier for frequent posters, and a Studio tier for teams with API/MCP access and priority renders.
The product supports web and desktop apps, a Telegram/WhatsApp bot for editing from mobile, and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so you can connect third-party or custom agents like Claude or Cursor to drive timeline edits programmatically.
Vidmoat is an AI video editor with an agent that reads your footage, cuts the dead air, writes captions, removes backgrounds, and ships shorts to every platform — from one prompt.
