Make videos as fast as you think them.
OpenNolan drafts your edit with AI, then hands you a real timeline — where nothing re-renders unless it actually changed. It all runs on your Mac, with your own key.

Editing should keep up with your ideas — not the other way around.
Modern video tools make you wait, and pay, for every single change. Here's the tax you're quietly paying today.
Every edit, a full re-render
Trim one clip and watch the whole timeline rebuild. Your creative flow dies in the render queue while a progress bar crawls.
The cloud meter never stops
Per-export fees, render credits, monthly subscriptions. Your bill scales with how much you tinker — exactly when you shouldn't be counting.
Your footage isn't yours
Uploading raw footage to someone else's servers just to make a cut is a privacy tax you never signed up for.
Three steps. No render queue.
From a blank timeline to a finished cut — without ever renting the cloud or waiting on a rebuild.
Bring your key
Drop in your own Anthropic API key. No account, no subscription — you pay the model provider directly, with no markup.
Direct the agent
Describe what you want, or drop in your footage. The AI assembles a full first cut on a real timeline — one you can actually change.
Edit at the speed of thought
Trim, retime, crop, caption, restyle. Every edit lands instantly, because OpenNolan renders each scene once and reuses it.
A studio that runs on your machine.
The power of an AI video pipeline and a real non-linear editor — local, private, and yours to keep.
Render once, edit cheap
Each scene renders a single time and is cached. Rearranging, trimming and retiming are instant — only a scene you actually changed ever re-renders.
Runs on your Mac
Fully local and offline-capable. Your footage and your keys never leave your machine. No uploads, no servers, no surprises.
Bring your own key
Plug in your own API key and pay providers directly. No middleman markup, no per-export fee, no monthly bill.
A real timeline editor
Multi-track timeline, drag-to-trim, split, keyframes, speed, crop, transitions and overlays — the NLE controls you expect, built from scratch.
AI drafts, you direct
An agent assembles a first cut from your brief or footage, then hands you the controls. You stay the editor — it just skips the blank page.
Open source
No lock-in, no black box. Read the code, shape the roadmap, and own your workflow forever.
Stop waiting on the render bar.
Join the waitlist and be first to make videos the local way — privately, on your own Mac, for the cost of an API call.
