Show HN: Velorn – an open-source desktop video editor with MCP agent controlhttps://github.com/VelornLabs/velornHi HN, I’m Jaime. I’m a VFX artist with over 20 years of experience, and I’ve been building Velorn as a solo developer.Velorn is a GPLv3 desktop video editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It has a multi track video/audio timeline and works as a normal editor without any AI generation setup. You can import existing media, edit and layer clips, add effects, text and keyframes, transcribe locally with Whisper, mix audio, and export through FFmpeg.For me, AI generated footage is raw material. The creative part is still what happens afterward: selection, timing, sound, pacing, effects, captions, and narrative structure. I wanted an app where generation and editing could exist in the same workflow, even editing live action footage with AI generations, so I started building Velorn.One of the parts I've been especially interested in is MCP.Velorn runs a local, loopback only MCP server that lets clients such as Codex and Claude Code interact with the project that's actually open in the editor.Aug 15, 2026 4:15 PM
