Awesome Ai Video Editing

Awesome AI Video Editing [](https://awesome.re)

> A curated list of AI-powered video editing & production tools for developers and creators, with a unique focus on the 2026 wave of agent-native tooling: Claude Code skills, MCP servers, and CLI-first pipelines that let a coding agent direct the whole production.

⭐ Star counts harvested live on 2026-06-12 (GitHub API). PRs welcome.

The 2026 meta-shift: new video tools no longer ship as apps, they ship as agent skills and MCP servers. The fastest-growing repos of the last 90 days (OpenMontage, ArcReel, html-video, Generative-Media-Skills, waoowaoo, Toonflow) are all agent-first. Premium differentiation moved from model quality to orchestration + cross-shot consistency.
