Text-based video modification is an efficient way to automate the tedious early stages of video production. ChatCut is practical because it doesn't trap you in a flat, uneditable output template like most basic AI video generators. Returning the results as a fully active, editable multi-track timeline means you can let the AI handle the time-consuming logging, cutting of dead air, and initial B-roll sourcing, while still retaining complete structural control over the final cut.

Hi Product Hunt!
Last month, we launched our ChatGPT/Codex plugin and received incredible support from this community.
One of the most consistent pieces of feedback was that you loved being able to connect your own agent, but wanted to work with larger files and have a faster, more reliable editing experience.
So we built ChatCut Desktop.
It includes everything you can do with our web app and plugin, but in a local environment. Your footage stays on your computer, and editing and exporting happen locally. You can use ChatCut’s built-in agent or connect your existing ChatGPT/Codex or Claude Code subscription and use the tokens you already pay for, making ChatCut’s core editing features free to use. A ChatCut subscription is only required for pro features such as Seedance and Kling video generation, XML export, AI voice generation, and voice cloning.
Today, ChatCut is used by creators editing talking-head videos, tiktoks, reels and shorts, businesses producing ads and branded content, companies creating social content, internal videos and product updates, and AI filmmakers making films.
Give ChatCut Desktop a try, and please send us any feedback, suggestions, or questions at team@chatcut.io.
We’d love to hear what you think. Go create something!
Scarlett.
Congrats on the launch!
An AI video editor that actually works with GPT + Claude sounds interesting. How long takes the setup process?

@byalexai Downloading the app and connecting your agent takes less than 5 mins.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
Excited to hunt ChatCut Desktop today! I’ve watched this team listen closely to their community since their ChatGPT/Codex plugin launch, and this release is a direct answer to what creators kept asking for: bigger files, faster editing, and full local control.
The token model is what stands out to me. Connect your existing ChatGPT/Codex or Claude Code subscription and get core editing for free. That’s a genuinely creator-first move.
Go check it out and tell the team what you think 🎬

One of our users, Justin, created a tutorial on how he uses the desktop app. If you’re wondering how to get started, check it out here:
