Product: Awesome Video Editor (AwesomeVideo): a browser video editor for styled, animated captions, plus a prepaid REST API and MCP server for AI agents.
Website: https://awesomevideoeditor.com
Main job: Video in, captioned video out: transcribe, optionally translate, and burn styled captions. Returns MP4, SRT, VTT and a JSON transcript.
Other jobs: Translate, dub, trim and remove silences, cut long videos into short clips, write titles, descriptions, hashtags and chapters.
Caption presets: 34 built-in presets (for example hormozi-style, karaoke, pop-words, highlighter-marker, number-punch), plus custom presets saved per key.
Web and server parity: The web editor and the server renderer share one style schema, so a server burn looks the same as a browser export.

Unit: 1 credit = 1 US cent. Prepaid; nothing is charged when the balance is short (HTTP 402 with a checkout link).
caption_video: 5 credits per audio minute (1 transcribe + 4 burn), 7 with translation.
$5 pack: 500 credits, one-time, never expire. $0.050 per captioned minute.
$20 pack: 2,200 credits, one-time, never expire. $0.045 per captioned minute.

Keys: An agent can create a key without an account: POST /v1/keys/anonymous or the MCP tool create_key. One key and one balance for REST and MCP.
Welcome credits: While the trial runs, a new self-serve key can claim 10 welcome credits (about 2 minutes of caption_video) after a small proof-of-work. Fair-share limits per network apply. They pay only caption_video and transcribe, for jobs up to 2 minutes, and expire after 30 days.
Failed jobs: Refunded in full. Caption jobs can be resumed and pay only the remaining steps.
