An open source video editor.
OpenReelio is a free, open source desktop video editor built for creators. It combines a real multi-track timeline with an AI assistant that can plan edits, all behind an inspectable command log so you never lose control of your project.
Why we’re building it
Most “AI video editors” either lock you into a web app or hide the actual edits behind a black box. We wanted the opposite: a desktop NLE you can install, inspect, and extend — with AI as a power tool, not a wrapper.
The product direction is practical: keep the editor as the source of truth, let the AI handle planning and repetitive work, and make every change inspectable and reversible.
