This page has everything you need to write about Vidiyo: approved descriptions in three lengths, the key facts, images you can use, and who to contact. Facts here are current as of the date above; the [changelog](https://getvidiyo.app/changelog) has the latest release. ## How should Vidiyo be described? Use one of these as written, or trim them. Please keep the product claims accurate. **One line (entity sentence)** > Vidiyo is an AI video editor for Mac that edits by chat, watches the actual frames, and runs on your existing Claude or ChatGPT plan. **One paragraph** > Vidiyo is an AI video editor for Mac that edits by chat, watches the actual frames, and runs on your existing Claude or ChatGPT plan. You describe the edit in plain words, such as "cut the ums and long pauses" or "show the product above me", and the assistant makes it on a real timeline with layers, keyframes, motion graphics, word-by-word captions, music and sound effects. Footage stays on the Mac, and finished videos can be scheduled through Buffer. **About 100 words** > Vidiyo is an AI video editor for Mac that edits by chat, watches the actual frames, and runs on your existing Claude or ChatGPT plan. Instead of dragging clips, you type what you want: cut the pauses, start on the strongest line, add captions, put a counter on a number, keep the music under the voice. The assistant checks real frames as it works, so captions stay off faces and graphics stay in frame. Editing, transcription and export run locally on Apple Silicon Macs. Vidiyo also plans, scripts and schedules posts through Buffer. It's built by designer Ajay Pawriya and is in invite-only beta. ## What are the key facts? | Fact | Detail | |---|---| | Product | Vidiyo, an AI video editor for Mac | | Made by | Ajay Pawriya, a designer who builds | | Platform | macOS desktop app | | Requirements | Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later), macOS 14 Sonoma or later | | AI | Runs on the user's Claude Pro or Max plan through Claude Code, or ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise through Codex | | What it edits | Talking heads, product demos, explainers and short-form video in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 | | Output | MP4 (H.264, AAC) at 1080p, 30 fps; timelines up to 5 minutes | | Transcription | Local Whisper on the Mac: English built in, 29 more languages with a downloadable language pack | | Publishing | Scheduling to Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and X through Buffer | | Status | Invite-only beta, free during the beta | | Website | [getvidiyo.app](https://getvidiyo.app/) | | Contact | hello@getvidiyo.app | ## What makes Vidiyo different? Three points come up in most conversations about Vidiyo: 1. **It watches the frames, not just the transcript.** Vidiyo measures faces and on-screen text, checks the composed frame after every edit, and lets the AI inspect still frames before deciding. 2. **It runs on a plan people already pay for.** Chat uses the user's own Claude or ChatGPT plan through Claude Code or Codex. There's no second AI subscription. 3. **Footage stays on the Mac.** Editing, transcription and export are local. The AI sees transcript excerpts and the frames it inspects; a finished video leaves the Mac only when the user schedules it. ## What are the honest limits? Please don't describe features Vidiyo doesn't have. As of this page's date: - Mac only (Apple Silicon); no Windows or web version. - Export is 1080p at 30 fps; there's no 4K or 60 fps. - Timelines max out at 5 minutes. - No speed ramps or speed control, and no cursor-follow zoom. - No client review link; brand looks are per project. - AI thumbnails need the user's own OpenAI or Gemini API key. ## Which images can I use?
