mcut docs
Current docs for the open-source mcut TypeScript packages.
mcut is an open-source video editing SDK for TypeScript apps. The current OSS repo is strongest at project documents, headless timeline edits, editor operators, React preview surfaces, browser media helpers, captions, CLI workflows, and MCP tools.
The visual editor and commercial mcut Studio app are separate from these docs.
Intro
- Quickstart: create a project document and inspect it with the CLI.
- Project model: understand the JSON document mcut edits.
- Package architecture: choose the package that owns your task.
- SDK Reference: generated TypeScript API docs for public exports.
Current state
mcut is alpha software. The packages are useful today, but the API is still settling. Prefer commands and operators over editing project JSON by hand, and check the generated SDK reference when you need exact signatures.
For agents
Use Agent instructions when an AI agent edits an mcut project through CLI, MCP, or the browser bridge.
