REVISION SAFE

Describe the cut. Review the plan. Keep editing.

Codex never rewrites project JSON. It calls the loopback daemon through a dependency-free STDIO bridge, validates a proposal, then submits revision-safe semantic operations through the same engine as the Web editor.

01

Ask

Describe a cut, caption style, motion graphic, generated asset, audio treatment or delivery target.

02

Review

Inspect the normalized diff, affected dependencies, warnings and provider cost before any write.

03

Apply

Approved operations commit as one revision with CAS, idempotency and a single-step undo boundary.

04

Handoff

Open the editor URL at any time and continue manually on exactly the same project revision.

25 MCP TOOLS · 10 SKILLS

A video-production toolbelt inside Codex.

01

Timeline

Inspect projects, validate edits, apply semantic operations and review history.

02

Speech & captions

Transcribe, read the script, remove words or pauses and restyle linked captions.

03

Motion graphics

Create editable lower thirds, title cards, callouts and charts with the safe MG DSL.

04

Generation

List providers and generate images, B-roll, voice, music or SFX into managed local assets.

05

Audio

Create reversible denoise and processing derivatives without replacing source media.

06

Delivery

Render preview frames, validate the project, start pinned exports and track persistent jobs.

SECURITY MODEL

Local by default. Explicit when it leaves.

The bridge reads only the protected runtime descriptor and daemon token. It does not access SQLite, project JSON, Codex auth files or provider keys. Paid generation and outbound media remain approval-gated.
