Use BlitzReels as an AI video editor for Codex with CLI commands, API docs, captions, transcripts, B-roll, media, and exports.

## Direct Answer

Codex can operate BlitzReels through the same API, CLI, OpenAPI, and docs surfaces used by developers, making it useful for repeatable short-form video edits.

## Positioning

Use Codex when you want an engineering agent to inspect project state, reason over docs, update captions or media through structured commands, and keep a clear audit trail.

## Workflow

A Codex video workflow should stay factual and incremental: inspect context, choose a small edit, apply it through a documented command or API call, then verify the project state.

- Read the BlitzReels API and CLI docs for the target workflow.
- Run `blitzreels agent-context --json` to discover current command contracts.
- Inspect the active project, caption words, media assets, and export history.
- Make structured edits through CLI commands or API calls.
- Use snapshots, project state, or export status as verification evidence.
- Hand off the final video for human review before publishing.

## Capabilities

- Machine-readable command discovery
- Caption and transcript edits
- B-roll, stock media, and project media insertion
- Timeline and project state inspection
- Export creation and download workflows
- Repeatable CLI/API automation for short-form editing

## Example Commands

- `blitzreels agent-context --json`
- `blitzreels projects list --json`
- `blitzreels captions words list --project-id PRJ_xxx --json`
- `blitzreels exports download --export-id EXP_xxx --output ./short.mp4`

## Limitations

- Codex should not guess unsupported CLI flags or API fields.
- Video output still needs visual and audio review.
- Long-running exports should be polled until the status is terminal.

## FAQ

### Can Codex edit videos with BlitzReels?

Yes. Codex can use BlitzReels CLI, API, OpenAPI, docs, and agent context output to perform structured video editing tasks such as caption edits, media insertion, and exports.

### Why use Codex for video editing?

Codex is useful when the editing task is repeatable, documentation-driven, or connected to code and assets. It can inspect commands, apply structured edits, and keep the work auditable.

### Does Codex replace the BlitzReels editor?

No. Codex is best for structured edits and automation. The BlitzReels browser editor remains the review path for visual polish, message fit, and final approval.
