13SoulMU is a local AI video editor built for 9:16 short-form. The built-in MCP Server lets Claude drive the full editing workflow in plain language — cuts, subtitles, filters, beat-sync, GPU render. Your footage never leaves your machine.
Video + audio + text tracks. Drag, zoom, magnetic snap, full undo/redo. Sample-accurate playhead, zero IPC delay.
Every clip independently adjustable, WYSIWYG. Filters, transitions, zoom, pan, 4-side crop, speed — all on sliders.
whisper.cpp for local speech-to-text — never touches the cloud. SSE progress stream, auto-imports to the subtitle track. Manual SRT import supported.
Auto-detects hardware acceleration — export time roughly halved. NVENC / AMF / VideoToolbox supported. Preview 540p to 4K, H.264 MP4 with streaming progress.
