# Edit videos with the BlitzReels SDK and CLI

Milestone: 2026-05-09
Article published: 2026-09-26
Status: Product update

Inspect projects, edit timelines and captions, work with media, and export videos through code or your terminal with our SDK and CLI.

## Your editor, with another way in

We added an SDK and CLI around the video API, with tools for inspecting projects, editing timelines and captions, working with media, and exporting. If you build your own tools or spend time in a terminal, those video tasks can now fit into the way you already work.

Having an API is useful, but it still leaves developers with the work of connecting each operation to their own environment. The SDK and command-line tools make those operations easier to reach from code and a terminal, including the steps needed to understand a project before editing it.

## Useful for repeat edits and assistants

Explicit operations and structured results give developers a way to repeat a workflow, and agents a way to inspect a project before changing it. The May package and editing updates kept both routes connected to the same editable project and the finished video it produces.

That gives repeated video work a more consistent starting point: inspect what’s in the project, make the supported changes, and export when it’s ready. For an assistant, the same inspection step gives it actual project information to work from, while you keep an editable result in BlitzReels.

## Make your first edit from the terminal

Use the CLI documentation to get familiar with project inspection and the supported editing commands.
