Cli Anything Shotcut

A stateful CLI wrapper around Shotcut's MLT XML format that lets you script video edits without opening the GUI. You import media to get clip IDs, place them on tracks, apply filters with keyframes, and render using melt. The REPL mode has undo/redo, and there's a preview system that generates low-res bundles so you can iterate without waiting for full renders. The two-step media model (import first, then add-clip) takes a command to understand, but it maps cleanly to how Shotcut actually works. If you're building an AI agent that edits video or just want to batch-process edits programmatically, this gives you the primitives without reinventing a video engine.
