OpenChatCut
OpenChatCut is an open-source, local-first AI video editor and ChatCut alternative. Users describe desired edits in natural language, and AI agents (powered by models like Claude or Codex via MCP) perform actions directly on a real multitrack timeline including organizing clips, trimming, adding captions, music, transitions, effects, and keyframes. Every change remains fully editable and reversible. It supports bringing your own agents, plugins, and templates while offering free editable exports under an AGPL license.
