Lugh Xtudio lets coding agents edit video on a real timeline: Reveneau

Why it mattersAn AI video tool whose interface is the timeline, not a chat window that returns a finished clip, lets the editor and the agent work on the same project file at once and lets the editor keep every change the agent made.

Most tools that put AI into video editing give you a finished clip you cannot touch, and the agent never sees the timeline. Lugh Xtudio, released today by Arthur Breno Costa Polimeni, is a free desktop editor where any coding agent that speaks MCP, including Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity, edits on the same timeline the user does.

The pitch, read from lugh-xtudio.com, is a desktop editor on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux (AppImage and .deb, both marked beta). The agent runs on the user's own account with the model provider, so the editor itself has no chatbot and nothing to sign up for. Every cut, caption, 3D model and map the agent writes lands on a real timeline the user can trim, keyframe, undo or hand back for another pass.

Workspaces, skills and multiple agents

Three ideas carry the product. A workspace holds one channel, client or series, with its own brand files and the instructions the agent reads before touching a project. A skill is a saved way of editing: Lugh ships 17, with Shorts Viral Editor, Talking Head Editor, Whiteboard Animator, Motion Graphics Pro and Documentary Editor on the list. And several agents can edit at once, each on its own copy of the project, each publishing when it is finished.

The agent generates maps, whiteboards and 3D (import .glb files, rotate with a gizmo, animate camera and light), writes shaders and animated characters from a prompt, and uses connectors the user adds for ElevenLabs, fal.ai, Higgsfield, Runway, Luma, Pexels and Pixabay. A feature named Jev Analysis reads what is said in the video and marks the stages, from hook to call to action, with a quality score on each.

Local-first, with named exceptions

Import, transcription, effects, preview and export happen on the user's machine, and the site says Lugh never receives projects or media. The two exceptions are stated in plain words: what the agent reads from a project goes to the company that provides that agent, and a connector only sends what the user asks it to generate.

Pricing

The editor is free with no trial and no project limit. Anything the user edits by hand exports clean; anything the agent edited carries a watermark. A founder licence at $59, limited to 100 copies, removes the watermark, adds 4K export and includes free updates forever. The final price once those run out is $99, lifetime. One key works on two computers. A 7-day full refund is offered on both.

Arthur Polimeni posted the launch to Product Hunt the same day, under the tagline "The video studio where AI agents edit with you". He said the launch video itself was edited entirely by agents inside the editor. Nothing independent is published yet.
