Python automation / CI


pip install kinocut

python -c "from kinocut import Client; print(Client().info('clip.mp4'))"

CI tips:

Hyperframes

Optional code-to-video path. Needs Node 22+ and Hyperframes CLI.

Post-process renders with Kinocut FFmpeg tools. See tool reference Hyperframes section in TOOLS.md.

FFmpeg

Required system dependency — not bundled. Kinocut wraps FFmpeg with validation and guardrails; it does not replace installing FFmpeg.

MCPB / Desktop

Staged package in mcpb/. Not a fully self-contained native bundle yet. MCPB.md.

Compatibility

Former mcp-video CLI/import/env still work during the compatibility window. RENAME.md.
