ShootClip is a complete video editor for macOS — pro editing made simple, with AI captions and a built-in MCP server so your AI assistant edits alongside you.
👋 Hi everyone! I'm the maker of ShootClip.
I built ShootClip because I believe video editing should be simple and accessible to everyone.
Today, many video editors are packed with complex features that overwhelm beginners. Most people just want to create a great video quickly without spending hours learning professional editing software.
With ShootClip, our goal is to make video editing:
✨ Simple
⚡ Fast
🤖 AI-powered
Beyond being an easy-to-use editor, we're also building AI-native video editing.
ShootClip supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing AI agents powered by OpenAI and Claude to automate video editing tasks
I’m actually struggling with this right now — I want to create short promo videos for my product, but I keep getting stuck on the editing part.
The AI-assisted editing is what caught my attention. Can someone with very little editing experience use it to go from raw footage to a short promo video with the AI helping along the way? Would love to try this.
does it support publishing videos directly to socials or is it export only now?
