Solar Sailer Documentation

Solar Sailer is a video editor built for the rough cut. It runs AI analysis on your footage, syncs and transcribes it, flags retakes, and hands you a timeline you can refine by hand or with the built-in AI assistant.

This site is the documentation home for everything around the app:

  • User manual: install the app, learn the interface, and manage projects and media. New sections land as they are written.
  • Plugin development: build a new Process-menu tool with one Python file and a manifest. No repo checkout, no build step.
  • Scripting and API: drive the editor from an external script in any language over local HTTP.
  • FAQ: common questions about requirements, projects, and workflow.
  • Changelog: what shipped in each release.
