Stop editing b-roll
by hand
Drop in a talking-head video. VibeRoll transcribes it on-device, plans the edit, places the b-roll and burns word-synced karaoke captions — then hands you a publish-ready 9:16 short. Your footage never leaves your Mac.

How it works
Upload → transcript → edit plan → review → render
Five steps, one sitting — and the only one that needs you is the review.
Step 1
Upload
Drop in your talking-head video — one straight-to-camera take is all it needs.
Step 2
Transcript
On-device ASR (sherpa-onnx Parakeet) times every word. Nothing is uploaded.
Step 3
AI edit plan
The planner places b-roll under hard craft rules — concrete nouns, 30–50% coverage, hook in the first 3 seconds.
Step 4
Review
You stay in the loop: swap any clip against ranked alternates before anything renders.
Step 5
Render
Automated frame QA checks the output, self-heals and retries, then renders your 9:16 short.
The edit brain
Craft rules, not vibes
The LLM plans your edit, but hard rules decide what an acceptable cut is — the same rules a good short-form editor works by.
Hard craft rules
Every plan is checked against these
Lands on concrete nouns
b-roll appears when you name a thing, not mid-sentence
30–50% coverage
enough cutaways to hold attention, never wall-to-wall

the opening gets its own visual treatment
Word-synced captions

Your footage never
leaves your Mac
VibeRoll is a desktop app, not a cloud editor. Transcription runs on-device, rendering runs on-device, and your videos stay files on your own disk. Bring your own API keys for the optional cloud extras — they're stored locally and calls go straight from your machine to the provider, never through us.

VibeRollBring your own keys — or none
Works keyless, gets sharper with keys
Your API keys stay on your Mac and calls go direct to the provider. No keys at all? Every stage degrades gracefully — you still get a finished short.
| Stage | With your keys | Keyless — still works |
|---|---|---|
| Transcription | On-device ASR — sherpa-onnx Parakeet | Identical — transcription is always local, no key exists for it |
| Edit planning | LLM planner with the craft rules | Heuristic planner, same craft rules |
| B-roll | Stock (Pexels/Pixabay) + AI generation | Procedural motion-graphic cards |
| Captions, themes & render | Local, all 15 themes | Identical — local, all 15 themes |
No VibeRoll subscription hides behind the keys either — you pay providers directly, at their prices, only for what you use.
One price. No subscription.
A single stock clip can cost more than VibeRoll. Pay once and it's yours.
