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.
This is the 2nd launch from ChatCut. View more

Hey everyone! I'm Finn, co-founder of ChatCut.
Before this, I built a video editor used by hundreds of millions of people. My co-founders have worked on top-tier commercials and short films.
Still, video editing felt harder than it should be.
A large part of video editing is the execution work between an idea and a finished video: managing and searching through lots of footage, comparing different cuts, and creating all the post-production polish.Traditional editors are powerful, but they are still built around professional workflows and can take a long time to learn.
So we built ChatCut.
ChatCut is an AI video editor. You describe what you want, and ChatCut's agent helps you edit the video. It can understand your footage, find good takes, clean up talking-head videos, add motion graphics, captions, music, transitions, effects, and even generate image or video assets when needed.
So far, we've seen people use ChatCut for:
- Talking-head videos
- App promo videos
- E-commerce product ads
- Explainer videos
- AI short films
These are just examples. You can also explore many other video ideas with it.
We also built ChatCut for different types of creators.
-If you don't know how to edit, you can edit entirely by talking to the agent.
-If you want to fine-tune things yourself, ChatCut also has a full video editor. You can adjust everything manually, or export XML and continue editing in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.
ChatCut is available on the web and desktop.And if you use Codex, you can turn it into a video editor with one prompt:
"Read chatcut.io/chatgpt to install the ChatCut plugin and set up a new task for me."
It installs the ChatCut plugin and lets Codex help you edit videos too.
We think video editing should feel less like busywork and more like shaping ideas.Just like vibe coding made it easier to build software, we hope chatcutting can make video creation easier too.
We're still early, and we'd be happy to hear your feedback and keep improving from there.
Thanks for taking a look.
Congrats team! I've always felt video editing software has fallen behind the way people actually create today.
AI tools have exploded over the past year, but most don't solve the part I actually dread. I've spent entire nights cutting interviews with hundreds of clips, and the bottleneck was never generating content. It was making good editing decisions without getting buried in manual work.
I like that ChatCut isn't trying to hide the timeline or replace the editor. Also no more learning curve or navigating endless pop ups of dropdown in Adobe.
Curious how everyone thinks about the tradeoff here. Is the biggest opportunity for AI video tools making editing faster, or making the editing process itself more creative by removing the repetitive work?
ChatCut
@ha_phan4 Good question Ha. I think the dichotomy is not fast vs creativity. In real creative scenarios, speed makes you more creative, I think. Being able to see ideas fast, iterate on different directions fast. This in itself makes you more creative.
When repetitive work is remove, you also have more mindspace for creative stuff, and more willingness to try a new way of doing things, because it doesn't take 3 hours and a thousand mouse clicks. You can be in the flow.

Congratulations. How long does it take to make an edit?
ChatCut
@siwen_demi369 It's quite fast. On the ChatCut.io web app, once you upload your footage, it takes minutes to edit long talking head videos from scratch. Smaller iterative prompts like caption adjustments take just seconds.
Generating motion graphics takes from seconds to maybe two minutes, depending on quality selector (speed, balance vs quality). Seedance 2.0 generates takes a few minutes, which is the standard speed.
What kind of videos does your users make or edit?
ChatCut
@wys1010 ChatCut is a general-purpose AI video editor, so it supports a wide range of users. Our early users are primarily short-form content creators, brand content teams, educators, e-commerce brands, and AI filmmakers.

Is API available?
ChatCut
@xiangpeng_wan Not only is API available, but it has a native-grade plugin you can use inside the Codex app. You can just tell you ChatGPT/Codex app, "Read chatcut.io/chatgpt to install the ChatCut plugin and set up a new task for me." And watch it install itself, and then open a full actual video editor right INSIDE your Codex. You can also use it in your terminal. We have Claude Code and Hermes support coming in a few days.

Congratulations on the Launch @ChatCut ! Super exciting to see such a powerful tool that's also so convenient! Does this mean that I can have ChatGpt do additional contextual research on my videos and provide more depth in the motion graphics?
ChatCut
@patrickkavanagh yes absolutely. With the ChatCut plugin for ChatGPT/Codex app, you can use GPT5.6 model to research and create motion graphics, which is a big step up from anything else available today. All motion graphics generated in ChatCut is full editable. You can even export them with transparency.
