## FAQ

### How does the AI editing process work?

Agent edits arrive as suggestions in the editor with a reason, allowing you to approve or reject them manually.

### Does TrimScript upload my videos to the cloud?

No, transcription, editing, and export all run locally on your machine without any account or upload required.

### What file formats can I export?

You can export your edits as MP4, WAV, SRT/VTT captions, or FCPXML for use in professional editors like Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

### Can I use this with Claude Code?

Yes, TrimScript ships an MCP server that allows Claude Code or other MCP clients to read transcripts and propose edits.
