Four editors your coding agent drives: editonny, BashCut, Yap and free247editor

editonny by Matheus Gomes (MIT) was created last night and had 131 stars by this morning. It's one portable skill for Codex ($editonny) and Claude Code (/editonny). It handles transcription, take selection, cuts measured against the waveform, captions, framing and audio, and it includes a library of 145 visual scenes, 54 example requests and 79 original clips. The default cleanup removes dead air, breaths, false starts and repeats, but keeps complete words and intentional pauses. Its sample prompt asks the agent to check an 8–15 second sample before it exports the whole thing, which is a good habit for any agent edit. Local transcription and rendering don't need an LLM API key. It needs Python, uv, FFmpeg and Node 22.13+, and the guide site is in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

BashCut by dongnguyenvie (MIT, macOS 14+) goes the other way. It's a real native editor built on AVFoundation, with a Claude Code / Codex terminal docked next to the timeline. Everything the UI can do is also available through the bashcut CLI or an MCP server, using the same undoable operations, so you can review an agent's edit in History and undo it. Install it with Homebrew, run /bc:setup to add Whisper captions, silence markers and other plugins, and brief it from 25 templates. The demo page has 16 agent-cut videos with their prompts, timelines and source licences. @DanKornas featured it on Oct 18.

Yap by dzhng (macOS) is built for showing rather than editing. Press a hotkey to record your screen, talk, draw and drop numbered pins, then paste a prompt that gives your agent the recording, its transcript and the time of every mark. The README says Yap deliberately has no timeline. The agent uses its CLI or MCP primitives (frames, audio measurements, composition edits, exports) to turn one rough take into a captioned demo or highlight clips. GitHub didn't detect a licence file, so check before reusing the code. free247editor by riecodes (MIT), a leftover from our last scout, runs inside any Agent Skills tool. Drop a raw video in the inbox, say 'edit this', and get back cuts, captions, HyperFrames motion cards, zooms and sound. Then give notes in plain words. Notes you want to keep get saved to my-rules.md, so later edits follow your style.

Our take: if you want a timeline you can check by hand, start with BashCut. For one skill that works across agents, try editonny. Yap is the pick for screen-recorded demos, and free247editor for talking-head reels that learn from your notes. All four are spotted, not tested, and three of them are days or weeks old.
