QuickEdit

Optional LLM editing

Local-first behavior

Section titled “Local-first behavior”

QuickEdit does not call an LLM unless you pass --llm. Standard speech and motion analysis remains local, although faster-whisper may download its model weights on first use.

Enable a provider

Section titled “Enable a provider”

Install the matching optional provider dependency group first:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idityaGE/quick-edit/main/scripts/install.sh | QUICKEDIT_EXTRAS=anthropic bash
Terminal window
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY='...'
quickedit recording.mp4 --llm --llm-model claude-sonnet-4-20250514

Or, for Gemini:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/idityaGE/quick-edit/main/scripts/install.sh | QUICKEDIT_EXTRAS=gemini bash
export GEMINI_API_KEY='...'
quickedit recording.mp4 --llm --llm-model gemini-3.5-flash

QuickEdit sends word-level transcript data, your selected editing prompt, and silent-segment classifications to the selected provider. It does not upload the source video itself. Provider usage can incur charges; review your provider’s current policies, retention terms, and pricing before use.

Make conservative cuts

Section titled “Make conservative cuts”

Use --confidence to require higher-confidence suggestions. --prompt, --prompt-file, and --prompt-template provide domain-specific instructions. When in doubt, run --dry-run first.
