OpenChatCut

A conversational AI video editor that lets users describe edits to an agent, which organizes footage, adds captions, layers music, and builds transitions on a real multitrack timeline. It solves the problem of AI video generators producing non-editable output by keeping every step visible and reversible. The tool is for content creators, marketers, and designers who edit interviews, podcasts, and product demos, as well as developers building agent-native editing workflows. It is positioned as an open-source, local-first alternative to cloud-based AI generators, with support for multiple AI models and MCP integration.
