film cuts video projects: sequences, tracks, clips, trims, transitions, titles and audio. It renders MP4 with progress you can stop, and "Edit in Film" never touches the original clip.

Use with your AI

Kition ships an MCP server for its kits. Run it over stdio against a folder, without the app open, and your agent gets tools like film_inspect, film_run and film_check for every kit.

# Claude Code
claude mcp add kition -- kition-kits-mcp --workspace /path/to/your/folder

# Any MCP client (mcpServers config)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kition": {
      "command": "kition-kits-mcp",
      "args": ["--workspace", "/path/to/your/folder"]
    }
  }
}

The kition-kits-mcp binary comes with Kition. Without a licence key it runs in development and evaluation mode.
