LOCAL VIDEO & AUDIO EDITING SYSTEM

How Klamra works

Klamra turns raw talking-head footage into a polished video or podcast — 100% locally on your Mac, powered by on-device transcription and speech AI.

01

From raw media to finished export

Four simple stages form a repeatable editing pipeline.

01

Import

Klamra creates local proxies and extracts high-resolution audio.

02

Analyze

On-device Whisper generates transcripts; pause and bad-take detection runs.

03

Edit

Cuts appear synchronized across text and the magnetic timeline.

04

Export

Finished video exports to MP4 (H.264/HEVC) or clean M4A audio.

02

Original files are never overwritten

Klamra preserves all source media completely untouched. Every cut is fully reversible, and you can always toggle between the edited preview and original source.

  • Non-destructive text and timeline edits
  • All video and audio processed locally on Apple Silicon
  • On-device AI models run offline after initial download
