Second Studio
Video API + MCP for agents

The video team for your agents.

Give Second Studio a video whose editing works and your own raw clips. Get back a finished, captioned, beat-synced edit in that style, ready to post. It all runs through one API key that Claude, Cursor or any agent can use.

1 · Analyze

Reference → style

Every cut, shot length, beat, caption look and hook, measured from a video you like.

2 · Edit

Your clips → finished video

Your footage matched to each shot, cuts snapped to your music, captions in the style. Checked before it's returned.

3 · Post

Approve → publish

Drafts go to your own TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn accounts once a person approves them.

What it does

The production work behind short-form video, packaged so an agent can do it end to end.

Style analysis

Turn any reference into a reusable style. Cut points, pacing and beat sync are measured from the file; a vision model labels what each shot is for and how the captions look.

Style replication

Rebuild that structure from your own clips. The right moment goes in each slot, the music sets the rhythm, and footage is never cropped badly. Every render is checked for black frames, freezes and bad audio.

Real product recordings

Film your live web app from simple steps: click, type, scroll. A visible cursor, human-speed typing and smooth scrolling come built in. It records the real interface and never generates one.

Characters, scenes and video

Character sheets that lock a look, locations, props, cinematic shots and performed voiceover. Each one is directed by our production skills, so you write a brief, not a prompt.

Explainer videos

Save a brand kit once. Send a brief, get an editable scene-by-scene script, render a branded explainer in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 — captions, narration and music included. Same script, same video, every time.

Swaps and in-place edits

Put a stored character into an existing clip — object swap or motion transfer — keeping the footage, camera and everyone else. Or into a real photo, with every pixel outside the mask untouched.

Your models, your recipes

Pick the image model per job (GPT Image 2.5, Soul, Grok, Qwen, Ideogram, Nano Banana) and keep your own prompt recipes as versioned, team-shared skills on top of our craft.

Teams and spend control

Everyone on the account gets their own key and role; brand kits, characters, styles and footage are shared and attributed. Caps in credits and provider dollars, checked before a job starts.

Posting with approval

Connect your own social accounts, let agents draft posts, and release them with a separate admin key. Agents can never approve their own drafts.

Built for agents first

One line connects any MCP client. Your agent gets a tool for every step, from uploading clips to drafting posts. A REST API covers everything else.

  • Remote MCP server, no install
  • Local MCP server for files on disk
  • Jobs refunded automatically if they fail
  • Agents can report bugs on their own

# then just ask:
"Analyze the editing style of ref.mp4, cut my clips in
 ./footage to it with track.mp3, and draft the best one
 to our TikTok for Friday 6pm."

What people use it for

Anywhere you have footage and know what good editing looks like.

Launch videos

Every release becomes a demo: record the feature, cut it to your house style, draft the post.

Agencies

Clients send raw footage and a video they love. You send back variants in that style for approval.

Creators

"Edit my clips like this one." Upload the reference and your footage. That's the whole brief.

Agent builders

Use Second Studio as the video engine behind your AI social media manager.

Simple, prepaid credits

No subscription. Credits don't expire. Failed jobs are refunded automatically.

Packs from $10 for 100 credits, with bonus credits on larger packs. Uploads, reading results and bug reports are free. Approved accounts can run generation on their own provider keys and pay only the platform fee.
