A one-time-purchase desktop app that edits raw screen/podcast recordings by transcript, adds captions, and publishes to YouTube.
What it does
PandaStudio is a local macOS/Windows video editor that records screen and camera footage, transcribes it on-device, and lets users edit by deleting text in the transcript rather than scrubbing a timeline. It removes filler words and silences automatically, adds animated captions and motion graphics, and can publish finished videos directly to YouTube; an included AI agent (using the user's own ChatGPT or Claude account) can automate the edit via CLI or MCP.
