OPENChat Cut

An AI video editor for creators

Edit your videos by chatting with AI.

Bring your footage and describe the result you want. The agent adds captions, music and transitions, then you refine picture and sound on the timeline until the cut feels right.

From footage to a finished cut

Get the first cut down. Make the details count.

A video takes more than a first pass. Clips change, music needs balancing, transitions need another try. OpenChatCut puts AI actions and manual edits on the same timeline so you can keep going.

01

Describe the next edit

Tell the agent which clip to split, what caption to add or where the music should start. Put repetitive edits into the project and keep your attention on the story.

02

Change exactly what you need

Clips, captions and sound stay on their own tracks. Preview, drag, adjust a setting or undo the last step and try again.

03

Work with your own tools

Start with local media and projects. The open-source edition lets you configure models and connect an external agent through MCP.

Turn a seaside clip into a travel memory.

Bring titles, captions and music into one project. Listen back, balance the soundtrack and refine the transitions between clips.

Try a direction like this

Add a “Seaside Diary” title and a gentle soundtrack to this beach video. Keep the sound of the waves.

Your first timeline

Four steps to a cut you can keep refining.

Start with footage you already have. Conversation and manual edits work on the same project.
