OpenChatCut is an open-source ChatCut alternative: a video editor that brings conversational agents and professional timeline editing into the same workspace. It is independent open source (AGPL), not affiliated with the commercial ChatCut product.
OpenChatCut = local video projects + multitrack timeline + AI agents + MCP + production-ready exports.
It does not merely generate a video that can no longer be changed. Every edit is written to real tracks, clips, transitions, captions, effects, and media inside the project. You can continue editing manually, undo or redo changes, save versions, or hand the project to another agent.
OpenChatCut is built for creators and developers who want AI to participate in the actual editing workflow without giving up professional control, rather than starting over from an empty chat box or an immutable generated result.

🤖 Agent-native: the built-in agent and external MCP agents share the same editing tools.
🎞️ Real timeline: multiple video and audio tracks, transitions, effects, LUTs, zooms, and keyframes.
📝 Transcript-driven editing: word-level transcription, text-based cuts, pause handling, speakers, and linked captions.
✨ Generation and media: images, video, speech, music, sound effects, and online media search.
🧩 Motion Graphics and WebGL: editable motion templates, custom shaders, visual effects, and transitions.
👁️ Visual geometry: in-browser person segmentation and face-safe zones — captions avoid the speaker automatically, reframe follows the subject, and overlay graphics land in empty space.
📦 Production-ready exports: MP4, audio, captions, FCPXML, and complete project data.
🖥️ Local-first: projects and media stay on your machine by default, while API keys remain server-side.

The following screenshots show real OpenChatCut projects and editor states, not static mockups.
Traditional editors excel at precise control. One-shot AI video generators excel at producing results quickly. OpenChatCut connects both approaches through one continuously editable project:
| Capability | Traditional timeline editor | One-shot AI video generation | OpenChatCut |
|---|---|---|---|
| Track- and clip-level precision | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Modify a project with natural language | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Inspectable and undoable changes | ✅ | Usually unavailable | ✅ |
| Linked transcript and visuals | Partial | ❌ | ✅ |
| Direct control from Codex / Claude Code | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ MCP |
| Built-in and external agent collaboration | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ Shared tools |
| Local projects and BYOK | Product-dependent | Usually cloud-based | ✅ |
The core editing loop:
Describe the goal → Agent reads the project → Produces verifiable edits → Writes to the timeline
→ Preview / adjust / undo → Captions and mixing → Export
| Area | Implemented capabilities |
|---|---|
| Timeline | Multitrack editing, move, trim, split, ripple edits, snapping, keyframes, markers, undo, and redo |
| Visuals | WebGL effects, LUTs, chroma key, zoom, transitions, and custom shaders |
| Audio | Multiple audio tracks, sound effects, background music, voice-over recording, loudness, auto-ducking, and vocal isolation |
| Transcript | Transcription jobs, word-level editing, pause compression, search, speakers, and clip views |
| Captions | Automatic captions, named styles, translation, timeline overlays, and SRT export |
| Motion Graphics | Built-in templates, a secure sandbox, custom templates, and video render |
