Solar Sailer Documentation

Solar Sailer is a Windows video editor built for rough cuts. It can sync and transcribe footage, find retakes, and help shape a timeline that you can edit yourself or with the built-in AI agent.

Choose where to start

If you're new to Solar Sailer, start with the user manual. It covers installation, editing, AI tools, export, shortcuts, and troubleshooting.

Use the plugin development guide to add a tool to the Process menu. A plugin needs one Python file and a manifest, with no repo checkout or build step.

Use the scripting and API guide to control a running editor from an external script over local HTTP. You can use any language.

The FAQ answers common questions about requirements, projects, and workflow. The changelog lists what shipped in each release.
