A video editor with no generative credits, on Windows

Many video tools now meter their AI features: every generation, every upscale and every transcript draws from a pool of credits that runs out. cinemaOS takes a different route. Its assistant, J.A.R.E.D., uses no generative credits, and the price is a flat $9.99 USD per month excluding VAT with 14 days free, no card and no automatic charge. It is available on Windows through the Microsoft Store and on Apple silicon Macs.

What "no generative credits" means

J.A.R.E.D. is built to do specific jobs on your project: reading a request into a brief, mapping moments in your footage, planning an arc, building a new sequence beside your work and checking each step. It is not a generator that invents footage, so there is no per-render meter to run down. For the full picture of the director, read J.A.R.E.D. director explained.

Why that changes how you work

With metered tools you hesitate: you re-roll less, test less and watch a balance. With a flat price you try the second version, the shorter cut and the alternative take. For the cost side of metered tools, see AI video credits: pay per generation and AI video generation cost per minute.

Your projects stay yours

Projects are local-first .mntm files with recovery and version snapshots. For the privacy side, see on-device AI video editing and privacy and is my footage used to train AI?.

Limits

J.A.R.E.D. only runs the jobs it was built for and refuses requests outside them. Automatic transcripts and captions still need a human language review. cinemaOS is young, at version 0.3, and does not do lip sync.
