Overview
OpenChatCut is a desktop video editor with an AI agent built in. You import your clips and describe what you want, such as removing pauses, adding captions or music; the agent writes the changes onto a multitrack timeline that you can preview, adjust or undo. It runs on your computer and exports MP4, audio, captions and project files. It suits creators who make talking-head, interview and short social videos.
The AI's edits land on a normal timeline instead of a finished file, so you can keep editing by hand after the agent is done.

Good to know
Cut a talking-head or interview video by describing the edit, then review it on the timeline. The agent can trim pauses through the transcript, add captions, music and transitions, and every change stays editable.
Limits
- AI features need your own model or service keys; the timeline, local projects and manual editing work without them.
- The project calls these early releases: the macOS installers are unsigned for now, so you allow the app by hand on first launch. In the desktop app the agent can list any local folder unless you limit it in the settings file.
