Color, by hand or by chat

One clip. Every look.

Six built-in looks, your own LUTs, a five-point curve and wheels. Or ask: “make it teal and orange, keep the skin warm.”

Video and audio tracks, ripple edits across every track, snapping, markers, multicam synced by audio, nested sequences and proxies.

VoiceMusic, ducked

Sound that sits right

Three-band EQ, high-pass, noise gate, voice isolation, and music that ducks under speech by itself.

Agents

Bring your agent. It already knows how to edit.

EditMax runs an MCP server on your Mac with 62 tools: everything you can do by hand, plus the window itself. Connect the agent you already use, or chat inside the app.
