OpenChatCut is an open-source, local-first AI video editor that uses conversational agents (like Codex or Claude) to edit a real multitrack timeline. You describe the cut, and the agent places clips, trims, adds captions, and builds transitions—every step remains editable and reversible.
Open-source AI agent video editor with a real timeline
- Quickly assemble rough cuts from raw footage by describing the desired pace and style.
- Automate repetitive editing tasks like adding captions, music, and transitions.
- Collaborate with AI agents to refine timeline edits without losing manual control.
- Create polished videos for social media, presentations, or internal projects.
- Experiment with different AI models (Codex, Claude) to compare editing workflows.
- Download the desktop build or clone the repository from GitHub.
- Launch OpenChatCut and open or create a project with your media files.
- Type or speak your editing request (e.g., 'Add captions, trim dead space, and lay in background music').
- The agent reads the project state and applies changes directly to the timeline.
- Review the edits, undo any step, or refine details manually using familiar editing controls.
- Export the final video as an editable project or flattened file.
