## About

OpenReel Video is an open-source, agent-native video editor designed for manual and conversational editing. It features a typed action system that allows an AI agent to operate timeline controls, effects, subtitles, and exports directly. Built with TypeScript, React, and WebGPU, the platform ensures privacy by keeping media processing on-device while supporting bring-your-own-keys for major LLM providers or local models. It is available as a web application, desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and mobile apps for iOS and Android under the MIT license.
