# Arsaze > Arsaze is an AI video editor for agents and humans — "Cursor for video editing". It is a real multi-track timeline editor that people edit by hand and that AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok) can operate directly through Arsaze's MCP server. Every edit an AI makes plays back live on the timeline. Arsaze was created by Arshad Azeez M, who designs and builds it; Arshad is the founder and CEO of Sidhilynx, the company Arsaze is published under. It runs in the browser at https://www.arsaze.com and as a desktop app for Windows, Mac (Apple silicon, macOS 14 or newer, beta) and Linux (64-bit AppImage). Name: the product is spelled A-R-S-A-Z-E and is also written "Arsaze AI". Its official website is https://www.arsaze.com. Arsaze is not related to Arize AI (a separate company that makes AI observability tools) or to arsine (a chemical compound). The GitHub repository "arsaze-mcp" is the public connection guide for Arsaze's MCP server, not a separate product. Key facts: - Launched on 29 September 2026. As of 15 October 2026, people in 50 countries and regions have made an Arsaze account. - From 12 October 2026 to February 2027, Arsaze edits the reels and other video content of the Entrepreneurship Cell (E-Cell), IIT Madras, under a collaboration E-Cell confirmed in a signed letter. - Real timeline editing: multi-track clips, trims, splits, ripple edits, transitions, keyframes, color wheels, curves and LUTs, audio ducking and loudness. - AI features: automatic captions, silence and filler-word cutting, AI b-roll, AI video, image, voice, music and sound-effect generation. - Agent-driven editing: connect an AI assistant to https://api.arsaze.com/mcp (remote MCP, Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no API keys) and it edits the same timeline you do. - Version history for edits (TimGit) and client review links with frame-accurate comments (Remarker). - Export an MP4 in the cloud, or on your own computer with the desktop app, where local exports are free and have no watermark. Edits also export as FCPXML for DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. - Free forever on your own computer, on every plan including Free (desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux): video transcription (English on-device today; other languages use cloud transcription), video background removal (a person is cut out with no green screen), motion tracking, and exports with no watermark. These use no AI credits. - Local projects: unlimited on any plan, footage stays on your computer and is never uploaded. AI still edits them: the Arsaze assistant, and Claude or any assistant connected over MCP, work on local projects too, using only the moments they need, with nothing kept. AI access can be switched off per project or per computer. The timeline and version history are saved in your account, so you must be online while editing. Review links and cloud export need a cloud project (one-click, one-way conversion). - Motion tracking: mark a face, product or number plate and blur, cover, spotlight, magnify, label, follow cam, lock on or steady it in one click. - Animate Studio: motion graphics with keyframes, effects, a 3D camera, motion blur, tracking, camera solve and audio tracks, written as markup that an AI or a person can edit. - Arsaze for After Effects: a panel (1.0.0 Beta, October 2026, Windows, After Effects 2021 or newer) where your AI builds motion in your open project; every change is one undo. - Free plan also has 50 one-time welcome AI credits for cloud audio analysis; AI generation (video, image, voice, music), the built-in AI assistant and Animate require a paid plan or a credit pack (buying credits on Free switches to pay as you go). Paid plans add monthly AI credits and cloud export hours. The AI employee (see below) is included in every paid plan or works pay as you go. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.arsaze.com/): what Arsaze is and how it works - [What is Arsaze?](https://www.arsaze.com/what-is-arsaze): the definition, key facts, who makes it, and how it differs from similarly named products - [AI video editor](https://www.arsaze.com/ai-video-editor): what the AI can do on the timeline, how it works, and what it costs - [Video editor for AI agents](https://www.arsaze.com/video-editor-for-ai-agents): MCP connection details and what an agent can do - [Agentic video editing](https://www.arsaze.com/agentic-video-editing): what agentic video editing is, how it differs from one-shot AI features and video generators, what an agent can do in Arsaze today and how to try it with Claude, ChatGPT or Grok - [Features beyond the timeline](https://www.arsaze.com/features): the screen recorder, the free portfolio, motion tracking, Animate Studio, the After Effects panel and the two render engines, each shown in full - [AI employee](https://www.arsaze.com/ai-employee): an AI video editor that works inside your team.
