ChatCut - Your AI video editor in ChatGPT, desktop, and web
ChatCut is a lightweight, professional-grade AI video editor anyone can use, even without editing experience. It’s like having a personal video editing assistant that understands your footage, intent, and timeline. Make structural edits, fine-tune cuts, add captions, B-roll, music, voiceover, motion graphics, stock footage, and AI-generated video in one place. Every edit stays editable on a real timeline, with XML export when you want to keep working elsewhere.

@nextgennerd Thank you!
ChatCut is the most beautifully designed editing tool I’ve ever used. It embodies the principle that control over the story and the final cut should remain in my hands, while at the same time fully showcasing the efficiency gains enabled by AI-powered editing. I used ChatCut to edit my launch video, and it was so efficient that I was able to create a large number of different versions.
The "every edit stays editable on a real timeline" bit is what would actually get me to use this. I just hand-cut a product demo and the thing that kills the one-click AI editors for me is that you can't go back and nudge a cut by 200ms without regenerating everything. Keeping a real timeline + XML export (so I can round-trip into a proper editor if I need to) is the right call. How well do the natural-language edits map to precise timing — e.g. "trim the pause at 0:14" vs. grabbing the handle myself?
most ai video tools feel great until you want to change one tiny thing and realize you're stuck with whatever it gave you. everything staying on an editable timeline is the actual selling point for me. if i keep adjusting its cuts, does it start picking up my pacing/style, or is every project a fresh start?
Upvoted frome a early user! it's a cool video editor, save me. lots of time, it also save me in video edit cause I'm a newbee.

@sleekzheng Thank you!
I like the idea of being able to tell the editor what I want instead of clicking through everything manually.
Congrats on the launch! Bringing a real video editor into ChatGPT feels much more useful than treating AI as a separate generation step.
I’m curious about the workflow between ChatGPT and the full editor: if I start an edit through conversation, can I open the same project on desktop or web with the complete timeline, assets, and edit history preserved? Where do you see users doing most of the work long term — in chat or directly on the timeline?
As a content strategist at an automotive company, I create product feature showcase videos, and I also run my own media account where I do talking-head videos. ChatCut has been a huge help for both.
For product videos, it can go through large amounts of raw footage and pull out the best clips, which saves me so much time on selection. The MG animation features are great too — adding titles, text effects, and turning data into visuals.
For talking-head videos, it identifies and trims down the content, pulls free stock footage, and matches B-roll to what I'm saying. My editing time went from two full days down to just a few hours.
Really impressed with this product — highly recommend it to anyone doing video content work!
Mostly geared towards short form? Or what is the most common use case your customers are gravitating to?
