An open-source AI video editor built for humans and AI agents.
Start with one clip, a collection of media, or a blank video. Edit directly on the canvas and timeline, or describe the result you want.
Pireel brings AI into a real editing workspace. AI can help make the first cut, but you stay in control of the canvas, timeline, captions, graphics, audio, and final export.
- Talking-head videos with cleaner pacing and readable captions
- Short clips made from longer recordings
- Product demos, tutorials, explainers, and marketing videos
- Multi-source edits combining video, images, audio, and graphics
- Multiple versions for different platforms, formats, and audiences
- Videos shaped with reusable editing Skills and visual Frames
- Directly in Studio for hands-on canvas and timeline editing
- With Chat by describing cuts, pacing, captions, layouts, and visual ideas
- With an AI agent such as Codex or Claude Code
- Any combination of the three as the project develops
