MCPYour Claude can edit your takes now

Stop recording.
The link already plays.

One hotkey to record your screen, face and voice. About 1.6 seconds after you stop, the link is on your clipboard and it plays. Edit by deleting words, or let your Claude do the editing.

macOS 15 or later · then press ⌥⇧R

Illustration: a Mac screen with a small black recording island at the top showing a timer and a stop button, a round camera bubble in the corner, and a notification saying the link is copied and plays.

Fast is the feature. Every step is measured, and the slow ones get rebuilt.

Hotkey to recording

Press ⌥⇧R and it’s rolling before you’ve finished the thought.

1.6s

Stop to a link that plays

It uploads while you talk, so when you stop there’s almost nothing left to send.

~1s

Stop to every word timed

Your take is transcribed as you speak and force-aligned on your Mac.

10–50ms

Edit to preview

Delete a word and hear the cut straight away. No render step.

Measured on an M1 Pro.

Edit by deleting words

Edit the video like a doc. Strike the words you didn’t mean. The video follows.

  • Clean cuts. Every word has force-aligned start and end times, so cuts land in the gaps: no clipped syllables, no half an “um”.
  • One-pass tidy. Remove fillers and tighten long pauses in a click, then fix the rest by hand.
  • Nothing is final. Undo anything, play back at up to 3×, export an MP4 when you want a file.

Your Claude edits it. Say what you want. Claude reads the transcript, makes the cuts and updates the link.

Install in Claude Code

The plugin adds the takes tools and a skill for record, edit and share. With Blazing Video running, say “record this”.

/plugin marketplace add acstener/takes-plugin

then /plugin install takes@takes · Using the Claude app? Add Blazing Video to Claude

A studio, not just a recorder. The recorder is the first room. Your Claude runs the rest.

One link, every version

Edits update the link you already sent. Whoever opens it gets the newest cut, and it starts playing straight away.

My links

Every take you’ve shared, in one place. Copy, open or delete.

Kinetic captions Soon

Word-timed captions that move with your voice. Ask Claude for a style.

Titles, zooms and motion Soon

Title cards, lower thirds and zooms on the bit that matters, from one sentence to Claude.

Your words stay on your Mac. Transcription and word alignment run on-device, on the Neural Engine.

  • No cloud transcription. Nothing leaves your Mac while you record or edit.
  • You choose what’s shared. Only a take you share is uploaded, and only the video.
  • Gone when you say so. Delete a link from My links and it stops playing.

Questions.

What do I need?

A Mac running macOS 15 or later. On first launch Blazing Video downloads its transcription model once; after that it works offline, apart from sharing.

Do I need Claude?

No. Recording, editing by transcript and share links all work on their own. Claude turns editing into a conversation: install the plugin in Claude Code and ask for the cut you want.

Where do my recordings live?

On your Mac. Nothing is uploaded unless you share a take; then the video goes to our storage so the link can play.

Who can see a share link?

Anyone you give it to. Links are long and unguessable and aren’t listed anywhere. Delete one from My links and it stops working.

If I edit after sharing, do I get a new link?

No. Updating keeps the same URL, so the link you already pasted in Slack plays the newest cut.

How do I start recording?

Press ⌥⇧R anywhere. Press it again to stop. The link is already on your clipboard.

Is there a Windows version?

Not yet. Blazing Video is built natively for the Mac, which is a big part of why it’s fast.

Press it once. Talk. Press it again.

The link is on your clipboard and it plays.
