What is ChatCut

ChatCut is a web-based AI video editor that lets you edit videos using natural language prompts. You describe what you want—edit a talking head, add motion graphics, write a script, find background music—and the AI agent figures out how to do it. It understands your footage, can browse your website, grab logos, read marketing copy, and build a video that matches your brand. It can pull footage from YouTube, generate AI video and images, write voiceovers, and create motion graphics, all from a single prompt.

How to use ChatCut

1. Upload or link your footage – Import video files or provide a YouTube link.
2. Describe your edit – Type a prompt like "Clean up filler words" or "Add motion graphics for a lower third."
3. Let the AI agent work – ChatCut analyzes your footage and builds timeline edits automatically.
4. Review and refine – Every result stays editable. You can keep prompting the agent or fine-tune the timeline manually.
5. Export – Export your final video or as an XML to continue editing in other software.

FAQ

What is ChatCut? ChatCut is an AI video editor that helps you turn raw footage into edited videos with a real timeline, captions, B-roll, motion graphics, music, voiceover, sound effects, and exports. It is not a one-shot video generator or a template app—it is a full editor that AI can help operate.

How does conversational editing work? You describe the edit, and ChatCut analyzes your footage and turns it into timeline edits. For example, you can ask it to edit a talking-head YouTube video, a product promo, a social ad, an AI film, or a motion graphics explainer video. Every result stays editable.

Who is ChatCut for? ChatCut is for creators, marketers, businesses, podcasters, educators, founders, and teams who make video regularly. It works especially well for talking-head videos, promos, tutorials, product demos, social clips, podcasts, ads, and repurposing long videos into shorts.

How long does it take to get a cut? It depends on the length of your footage and what you ask. Simple cuts can be ready in minutes. More complex edits may take longer but are still much faster than doing the full workflow by hand.

Can I still edit manually? Yes. ChatCut gives you a real editing timeline, and you can also export it as an XML and continue editing in different software. It is built for human + AI editing, not black-box generation.

What's included in the free plan? You can use ChatCut's editor to edit videos for free. New users also get 15 credits to try paid AI features like video generation, AI agent editing, and other premium workflows.
