## Questions people ask

### Can Claude edit videos?

Yes, once you connect Tella. Claude can't edit a video file by itself, but with the Tella MCP server it can cut clips by transcript, remove filler words and silences, add zooms, layouts, captions and B-roll, export, and publish to YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook.

### How do I connect Claude to Tella?

Open Tella in Claude's Connector Directory, select Connect, and sign in to Tella. Claude can then find, edit, export and share the videos in your workspace. It works in Claude on the web, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps.

### Do I need an API key?

No. You sign in to Tella in your browser with OAuth and pick a workspace, and the agent never sees your password. Use an API key only for scripts, CI, or a client that can't open a browser.

### Can Claude change videos without asking?

Claude works with your Tella permissions in the workspace you pick, and only edits videos you can edit. Most agents ask before running a tool that changes something, and you can disconnect Tella at any time.

### Is it free?

The Tella MCP server is included on every plan, including the 7-day free trial with no credit card. Pro is $13 a month, billed annually. Auto Capture uses credits for each take.

### Does the Tella connector work in Claude Desktop?

Yes. Connectors you add in Claude sync to Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps, so you connect Tella once and use it everywhere you're signed in to Claude.
