About AI Video Editor
A video editing tool that runs on your computer (not in the cloud) where both humans and AI agents can edit the same video timeline together. It's open-source, meaning the code is publicly available for anyone to review.
Who it’s for
Video creators and developers who want AI to help with editing tasks on their own machine. People who prefer keeping their video files private instead of uploading them online.
Alternatives
- DaVinci Resolve: Professional video editor with some AI features (cloud and local options)
- OpenShot: Open-source desktop video editor without AI agents built in
- Shotcut: Lightweight open-source video editor for basic editing tasks
- CapCut: User-friendly editor with AI tools (primarily cloud-based)
Setup
Check these steps against the project’s own instructions before running anything.
Follow the project's README at https://github.com/MartinDelophy/ai-video-editor (opens external site) for installation instructions, as this is an early-stage project with evolving setup steps.

Risks to watch for
- File system access: The tool can read and write video files on your computer, so a compromised version could delete or steal your footage
- AI prompt injection: If you paste malicious instructions into the video editor's AI prompts, it might execute unintended commands
- Dependency vulnerabilities: Open-source projects depend on other code libraries that may contain security flaws not yet discovered
- Local privilege escalation: A compromised editor could gain deeper access to your system if run with admin rights
- Metadata leakage: Video files and project files might embed sensitive information (timestamps, locations, faces) that could be exposed
How to lower the risk
Least-privilege permissions
- Run the tool with a standard user account, never as admin
- Restrict file access to a single project folder if possible
Network isolation
- Keep the tool offline or on an air-gapped network if handling sensitive footage
- Avoid connecting to unknown AI services or plugins without review
Monitoring
- Check GitHub for security advisories and updates regularly
- Watch for unexpected file modifications in your video directory
Red flags to watch for
- Unexpected network requests or outbound connections from the editor
- Prompts asking you to download code or plugins from unofficial sources
- New versions that require unusual permissions or system changes
