ChatCut

ChatCut is a lightweight, professional-grade AI video editor anyone can use, even without editing experience. Describe what you want in plain language — “tighten this clip,” “remove the repeated takes,” “pull the best 30 seconds for a Reel” — and it executes the edit on a real multi-track timeline, not a flat, uneditable template like most basic AI video generators.

Editing works like editing a document: cut a word, a sentence, or filler words from the transcript, and the timeline follows automatically. The AI detects repeated takes and dead air to assemble a coherent first cut, while every edit stays manually adjustable on the timeline afterward. An AI motion graphics generator builds chapter cards, charts, timelines, and emphasis effects from a plain-language description, no After Effects or keyframing required, while built-in AI image, video, and music generation produce B-roll, establishing shots, or a synced score that matches existing footage. Auto captions ship in 100+ languages, and a full XML export lets you hand off to professional software when you need to.

Free to start, no card required, running in the browser, on desktop, or as a plugin directly inside ChatGPT.
