Open source · Conversational video editing

Let an AI agent edit your video.

Stop hunting through menus. Tell OpenChatCut what you want and it will organize footage, add captions, lay in music, and build transitions. Every step stays visible and reversible.

OPENCHATCUT / AGENT WORKSPACE
OpenChatCut agent video editing workspace

It does not just chat. It edits.

You describe the cut. The agent works the timeline.

It does not merely suggest what to change. It places clips, trims dead space, adds captions, and lays in music. Keep refining the result yourself, or undo any step.

01

Just say what you want

Describe the pace, style, and destination. The agent uses real editing tools instead of handing back a flattened video you cannot change.

02

A real editing timeline

Video, audio, captions, transitions, effects, LUTs, motion graphics, and keyframes all live in one project, ready to preview and adjust.

03

Bring your own agent

Connect Codex, Claude, or an agent of your own through MCP, plugins, and templates. Change models later without rebuilding your workflow.

AGENT / 01

Keep talking. The timeline is already changing.

The agent knows what you selected and understands the rest of the project. Ask for a faster pace, a different track, or a cleaner transition, and the change appears right on the timeline.

MOTION / 02

Let the agent build the motion. You finish the details.

Templates, transitions, effects, audio, and motion graphics are ready to use. Let the agent build a first pass, then refine every detail with familiar editing controls.

How it works

One sentence. Then start cutting.

The agent does not stop at advice. It reads the project, changes the timeline, and leaves every step editable.

  1. Collage step 01: paper media folder and film strip for import
    01

    Say what you need

    Type it or say it out loud: the story, the pace, the style, and the delivery format.

  2. Collage step 02: paper chat bubble connected to a project
    02

    It reads the project

    The agent checks the media, tracks, current selection, transcript, and timeline state.

  3. Collage step 03: layered paper multitrack timeline
    03

    It makes the edit

    Each action lands on the timeline with a predictable result, a clear history, and an undo button.

  4. Collage step 04: film reel and package for export

    You take it from there

    Keep trimming, tuning, swapping media, or export as-is. You are never stuck with a one-shot result.
