Video Editor (local FFmpeg)

Local video editor for your own footage: 45 FFmpeg tools for the agent (cut, silence removal, 9:16 reframe, captions, music with ducking, loudness, platform export and checks) plus a visual editor in Hermes Desktop with canvas, any number of tracks for text, shapes, video overlays and music, scenes and an English/German help. 100% local, no API key. Licence: PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0.

Good to know before installing

The Desktop page starts a local web server on 127.0.0.1 (random port, per-run token) that can read and write media and image files anywhere under your home folder (and any VE_EDITOR_ROOTS); preview caches go to the system temp folder. The agent tools run ffmpeg/ffprobe on the input paths the model passes and write media, image or .srt files at the output paths it passes (replacing an existing file only with overwrite: true).

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-video-editor
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-video-editor
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
