Video editor built for humans & AI. Edit with GPT & Claude.
Introducing ChatCut Desktop, the AI video editor built for humans and agents to edit together. Use ChatCut’s built-in agent, or connect ChatGPT/Codex or Claude Code. Say how you want your video edited and watch them happen on a fully editable timeline. Edit footage, create motion graphics and captions, generate video, images, music and SFX, and save reusable editing skills. Everything runs locally, and you stay in control. Export XML to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut.
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.

We’d love to hear what you think. Go create something!
