How to edit videos with Codex

Describe the edit in plain language
No more scrubbing through hours of footage. Just prompt it. 'Tighten the intro', 'Cut the silences', 'Add b-roll that matches my voiceover', 'Create captions that look like movie subtitles'. Daydream gives Codex a feature-rich editing toolkit that will turbocharge your editing sessions.
Export as MP4 or XML
Render a watermark-free MP4, or export your timeline into Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Premiere Pro. Your footage stays on your device the whole time. How exporting works.
Common questions
Can Codex edit videos?
Yes, when paired with Daydream. Daydream gives it a real editor to drive, whether you use Codex in the built-in chat or connect over MCP. Ask it to cut bad takes by transcript, find b-roll in your footage, add captions, or build motion graphics, and it does the work on a real timeline you can still tweak by hand.
Can I use Codex from my terminal instead of Daydream's chat?
Yes. Connect Codex to Daydream's local MCP server and drive the editor from your terminal. How to connect via MCP.
