What it does
Open Edit is an open editing pipeline from the VEED organization: you describe the edit and the agent makes subtitles, motion graphics and builds an MP4 through ffmpeg. Installation: `npx skills add veedstudio/open-edit --skill open-edit`. On Mac the skill installs needed programs through Homebrew after your confirmation. The launch-examples release from 03.08.2026, Apache-2.0 license. VEED is a commercial video editor and the repository is open.
Who it is for. For video creators and developers who want to build videos from a description with subtitles and graphics.
Good fit when
- You need editing by description with subtitles and motion graphics
- You need MP4 building through ffmpeg from an agent
- You need an open editing pipeline
Not a fit when
- You cannot install programs through Homebrew at an agent's request
- You need only the paid VEED editor: this is an open pipeline
Example request
Build a thirty-second video from these two clips with subtitles and titles and export it to MP4Limitations
On Mac the skill installs needed programs through Homebrew and this is done only after your confirmation: read the list before agreeing. The skill runs ffmpeg and writes files, so access is extended. The open pipeline is separate from the paid VEED editor.
How to disable. Remove the skill from the agent's folder or the plugin through the plugin manager.
