Tonpit
AI video studio with footage, images, voiceover, music and a timeline editor, which you or your own agent (Claude, ChatGPT via MCP) can drive.
Overview
Tonpit is a browser video studio that puts AI footage, AI images, voiceover, captions, a music library and a timeline editor in one place. You can build a video yourself, or connect your own AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client) and let it assemble animations, cut your footage and rebuild templates around your product, photos or story. A built-in assistant covers people who do not bring an agent.
The cheapest paid plan is aimed at the agent workflow: $25 a month gives unlimited exports, and your agent's own thinking does not use Tonpit credits. Higher plans add monthly AI credits for generated clips, images and voiceover. Exports are MP4 or ProRes. Tonpit's roadmap names Seedance, Kling, MiniMax, FLUX, Seedream and Gemini as the generation models behind it.
The Verdict
Who Should Use Tonpit?
Best For
- Claude or ChatGPT users who want their agent to edit and export videos
- Founders and marketers making product ads and launch videos
- Short motion graphics and UI walkthroughs from screen captures
- People who want AI clips, voiceover and music in one editor
Not Ideal For
- Long-form editing (the roadmap lists a 3-minute timeline)
- Heavy free use: the free plan allows 3 exports a month
- Pro editors who need a desktop NLE like Premiere or Resolve
- Buyers who want an established vendor with a review track record
What's Great
- Your own agent can drive the editor over MCP, not just a built-in chatbot
- Agent thinking is free and exports never cost credits
- Several leading video and image models in one place
- Bought top-up credits never expire
- MP4 and ProRes export
Watch Out For
- Very new (first release March 2026), with no independent reviews yet
- Export resolution is not stated on the site
- Claude connection needs a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher)
- Team, founders and location are not disclosed
- An AI clip costs roughly 57 credits on Studio (4,000 credits for about 70 clips), so AI-heavy videos drain credits fast
Pricing
Annual billing saves 15% on every paid plan.
