What it does
The repository ties together the script, takes, source clips and graphics. Eyeline Teleprompter follows your voice through the text, records microphone audio and marks flubbed takes. Eyeline Edit shows source-linked clips, waveforms and word timings, lets you move cut edges and exports video or audio. Skills under `skills/` split the work into recording, cutting, review, design, animation and editor handoff. Tools transcribe takes, estimate camera sync and drift, build proxies and propose a rough cut. The kit includes 267 HTML animation boards, three filled briefs and prompts for Claude Design. Decisions live in readable Markdown and JSON, so editing can continue by hand.
Who it is for. YouTube creators who script, record takes and want an agent to handle the rough cut.
Good fit when
- A script is read from the teleprompter and audio is recorded with flub marks.
- A rough cut with links to source files is built from raw takes.
- Animated boards and a Claude Design brief are chosen for a video.
- An editor receives a project with a cut plan and proxies.
Not a fit when
- Finished color grading and final sound are expected without manual work.
- Python 3.10+ and `uv` are missing or local servers cannot run.
- A cloud editing studio with team collaboration is needed.
Example request
Run the demo with `uv run tools/create_demo.py`, open the editor and show the rough cut with word-based edges.Limitations
The apps run locally on ports 5317 and 5320 and need Python 3.10+ and `uv`. Teleprompter speech recognition works best in Chrome or Edge. Design boards are starter templates: styles, colors and sample copy must be replaced and verified. The author's private skills and source media are not included. The editor needs an Eyeline project with a cut plan and full-take proxies. The last commit dates from October 2026.
How to disable. Stop both servers and delete the clone. Projects are stored in `~/Eyeline/Projects` or the folder named by `EYELINE_DATA` and are removed separately.
FAQ
Is an API key needed to start?
No. Neither app needs a key to launch; an agent with file and command access is optional.
How can I try it without recording?
Run `uv run tools/create_demo.py`, then `uv run apps/eyeline-edit/edit_server.py .local/demo/01-recording`. The demo generates synthetic media.
Where are projects stored?
In `~/Eyeline/Projects` by default. Set `EYELINE_DATA` before starting to use another drive.
Can the board library be opened in a browser?
Yes. Run `python3 -m http.server 5331 --directory templates/design` from the repository root and open `http://localhost:5331/`.
Does it work on Windows?
Yes, use `py` in place of `python3`. External drives and LAN display mode are covered in `docs/setup.md`.
