kimo

kimo offers a novel approach to video production, operating entirely without a graphical user interface. Instead, it functions as a powerful backend, driven by coding agents or MCP clients like Codex and Cursor, through direct tool calls. Key features include: • Command-line based video manipulation • Cut, trim, and caption capabilities • Color grading and keyframe control • Reframing to various aspect ratios, including 9:16 • Local processing with a small footprint This robust, CPU-only Rust binary is designed to run efficiently on minimal hardware (e.g., a 2 GB system). Your coding agent renders frames to verify its work, ensuring precise control over the editing process. This makes kimo ideal for programmatic video creation, allowing for complex edits and transformations to be scripted and executed with high fidelity. kimo is perfect for developers, creators building custom video pipelines, and technical users who prefer scripting over visual interfaces. It empowers programmatic content creation, offering a flexible and integrated way to produce video content without manual interaction with traditional editing software. Export directly from your scripts, making it a valuable asset for automated content workflows.
