Stop Spending Hours on Every Edit. Meet Cutravo—Your AI Video Editor.

🎬 Meet Cutravo — your video editor, powered by conversation.
You’ve recorded something worth sharing. Turning it into a finished video can still mean hours of trimming pauses, comparing takes, fixing captions, and preparing different formats.
I’m building Cutravo to make that process easier: a standalone desktop video editor where you describe what you want and refine the edit through chat.
No Adobe Premiere Pro required. No Adobe subscription. Cutravo has its own editing workspace.
Tell it what you want to create
💬 “Clean up this recording, remove repeated takes, and keep the pacing natural.”
💬 “Find five interesting moments from this interview for YouTube Shorts.”
💬 “Make a vertical version for TikTok and Instagram Reels.”
💬 “Move the captions higher and highlight each spoken word.”
💬 “Keep that pause—it makes the joke work.”
That’s the experience we’re building: editing that starts with your intention and leaves you in control of the result.
Your footage. Your conversation. Your final say.
Cutravo brings chat, video preview, and an editable timeline into one application.
The goal is to let you move naturally between asking for a change, watching the result, and making precise adjustments yourself. Automatic edits should be reviewable, adjustable, and easy to undo.
Connect the AI accounts you already use
Cutravo’s built-in chat is designed to work with integrated sign-in for your personal ChatGPT or Claude account through supported integrations.
You can direct the editing workflow from inside the application. Available capabilities and usage limits depend on the connected provider, account, and integration.
From a full recording to content you can share
We’re developing Cutravo around the work creators repeat every week:
✂️ Cleaning up pauses, false starts, and repeated takes
🔎 Finding useful, compelling moments in longer recordings
📱 Adapting horizontal footage into vertical clips
💬 Creating and styling editable captions
🎯 Keeping the subject framed as they move
📦 Exporting finished videos and multiple short-form versions
These advanced AI workflows are in development. We’re building toward reliable results that creators can inspect and improve.
Where Cutravo stands today
The early development build supports local video import and preview, trimming, 16:9 and 9:16 formatting, project saving, and MP4 export.
We’re focusing on macOS first, with the aim of building a dependable desktop workflow before expanding further.
Built for the people doing it all themselves
Whether you’re a YouTuber, podcaster, educator, or solo creator, your time matters. Cutravo’s purpose is to reduce repetitive editing work so you can spend more of it shaping the story and creating your next video.
We’re sharing the project early and would love your input.
What would you ask Cutravo to do first—and what would make you trust the edit?

Cutting out repeated takes is the part that eats most of my time too. I've been making short videos lately and I'm still trying different tools for it. Having the chat and an editable timeline side by side is what I'd want, since I never fully trust an automatic cut. And macOS first works for me, it's all I use.
