## Overview

Vidmoat is a hosted AI video editor from Buzz Innovations Ltd, a UK company. Users upload footage and describe the result in plain language, for example "make this a punchy TikTok". A built-in agent then cuts silences, adds captions, reframes for vertical formats and applies a colour grade on a multi-track timeline that can be reviewed and changed by hand before export to MP4. Agent edits can be reverted step by step, and each AI action shows its credit cost.

## Key features

- Editable multi-track timeline
- Auto-cut and silence removal
- Captions and reframing
- Live calls
- MCP connection

- **Team** ($29/seat/mo): Shared workspace, minimum 3 seats.
