Edited on Meta Hackathon

An open-source project called Edited!, built at a Meta Hackathon, runs locally on a user's own computer to turn long videos into vertical 9:16 shorts with word-timed subtitles, an opening zoom and an optional AI hook picker that requires a Meta Muse key. The app uses faster-whisper to transcribe speech locally with word timestamps, runs at localhost:8000 after installing Python and FFmpeg dependencies, and keeps footage on the user's machine; a separate paid service, Hive, posts finished shorts to TikTok and YouTube Shorts with the first video free.

Solutions #

Everything a raw clip needs before it's ready for a vertical feed.

Word-timed subtitles

Every word lands on screen exactly when it's said, in the style you pick.

Clean 9:16 crop

Wide footage becomes a vertical short, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

Opening zoom

A subtle punch-in on the first seconds to stop the scroll. Turn it off anytime.

AI hook picking

Add a Meta Muse key and Edited! picks your strongest opening line.

Score your hook #
