Vidmoat — AI Video Editor. Type a prompt, get a finished video.

What

Vidmoat is a hosted, agent-first AI video editor: users type a prompt in plain language and an AI agent cuts, captions, grades, and reformats footage on a normal, still-editable timeline. It targets people who create video but do not want to operate a traditional editor — podcasters, coaches, cooking and fitness creators, and short-form publishers. Its positioning is "don't edit, delegate," with the same product accessible through a browser editor, mobile apps, chat, or an external agent over MCP.

Features

• Prompt-driven agent editing: Describe the result ("make this a punchy TikTok") and the agent plans multi-step edits, reports steps as it works, and self-corrects, applying cuts, captions, and grades without altering anything not requested; all edits land on a standard timeline that can still be adjusted by hand.
• Auto-Cut and word-synced captions: The agent reviews full-length footage, identifies usable takes, removes dead air and silence, and adds captions synced at the word level.
• Multi-platform reformatting: A single edit can be reframed, re-timed, and re-hooked for TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and Shorts from one source project.
• Chat-based editing: Sending a clip with a caption to @vidmoat_bot on Telegram or WhatsApp (Discord is also cited) returns a finished video, using the same projects, commands, and credits as the web editor.
• External agent access via MCP: On every plan, MCP clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can import media, run 65+ timeline commands, preview frames as images, and render MP4 files. The page also lists auto-captions, silence removal, background removal, green screen, a cleanup brush, 33+ effects, and smart splits with varied transitions as current capabilities.

Helpful Tips

• The free plan is described as free forever, not a trial, but it carries a watermark and 720p exports; treat it as a genuine evaluation tier and confirm whether 4K, watermark removal, and pro effects justify a paid plan for your output volume.
• Because agent edits remain on a conventional timeline, test hand-editing early. The practical question is not whether the agent can produce a first pass, but whether its first pass reduces or increases your cleanup time on your own footage.
• If you already run agents in Claude, Cursor, or similar MCP clients, that path is the lowest-friction way to test automation; the browser editor and chat bot require no setup and suit creators who do not want an agent stack.
• Claims about footage privacy (uploads used only to render, no training on user footage) and desktop handling of 10 GB files with zero uploads come from the vendor's own FAQ. Verify them against your own compliance and data-handling requirements before uploading client or regulated material.
• On-page counters such as creator and project totals are site figures, not independently verified metrics; pricing beyond the listed $9.99 Creator Studio add-on is not stated on this page, so check the pricing page directly.
