## What You Can Build [#what-you-can-build]

* Long-form to short-form clipping pipelines for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and LinkedIn
* AI-driven timeline edits, captions, B-roll, overlays, and audio
* CLI workflows an AI coding agent can run from a terminal
* Faceless generation and carousel workflows when those formats are explicitly needed
* Integrations for Claude, ChatGPT Actions, Zapier, n8n, Make

## Start Here [#start-here]

* **Quickstart**: create a managed clip from a YouTube URL or workspace asset
* **Authentication**: get an API key and send requests
* **Concepts**: understand projects, media assets, timeline items, jobs
* **CLI**: inspect, edit, snapshot, and export projects from a shell
* **Video Editor API and CLI**: edit captions, transcripts, B-roll, footage, and exports programmatically
* **Agent Skills**: install workflow-specific skills for clipping, editing, captions, carousels, and CLI use
* **Agent Integrations**: use BlitzReels with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and shell-based agents
* **SDKs**: use the official TypeScript SDK or generate clients from OpenAPI
* **Timeline API**: trim, split, move, transform, insert B‑roll
* **Project Media API**: upload, list, and delete project media
* **Project Context API**: fetch full edit context for AI agents
* **Captions API**: apply styles and edit words
* **Transcript API**: segment and bulk-correct transcripts
* **Reference**: full REST + OpenAPI spec
