An AI video editor edits footage from instructions instead of manual, frame-by-frame work. It cuts pauses, generates captions, cleans audio, and reframes for each platform. ChatCut goes further: describe the edit in plain English and it happens on a real multi-track timeline, where everything stays editable by hand. Can AI actually edit a video for me? Yes. Tell ChatCut "cut the silences," "tighten the intro," or "pull the best 30 seconds for a Reel," and it runs the edit on the timeline while you watch. Each instruction becomes a normal edit you can undo, adjust, or build on. The more specific you are, the better the cut. Is ChatCut's AI video editor free? It's free to start, no card. Free includes the core editor and starter credits. An active paid plan adds recurring credits, removes the Free cloud-export duration quota, and unlocks paid capabilities. Check the current Upgrade dialog for plan terms. Does ChatCut watermark my exports? No. ChatCut doesn't put a watermark on your exports, on the free plan or any plan. How does editing through the transcript work? ChatCut transcribes your footage and maps every word to its exact frame. Delete a sentence in the transcript and the matching video and audio leave the timeline. For podcasts, interviews, and talking-head videos, you clean up the cut by reading instead of scrubbing. Do I need editing experience to use ChatCut? No experience needed. Start by typing what you want changed, and open the timeline only when you want hands-on control. Beginners get a finished video without learning an NLE, and editors get a faster first pass. Where can I use ChatCut? Use ChatCut in a supported browser, ChatCut Desktop, or a supported agent through the Agent Plugin or Desktop MCP connection. Web projects use cloud storage; Desktop can start from local project packages and local media. Cloud and local features have different network and export requirements. Can it edit YouTube, TikTok, and podcast videos? Yes. Reframe to 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9, add platform-style captions, cut highlights, and label speakers. See [social media content](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/use-cases/social-media-content) and [talking-head editing](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/use-cases/talking-head-editing). How is ChatCut different from other AI video editors? Most AI editors render a template you can't touch afterward. ChatCut's AI sits on top of a real editor, so every instruction becomes normal clips, tracks, and captions. You get the speed without giving up the final cut. Can multiple people edit the same project together? Your edits sync in milliseconds across tabs and views on your account. Real-time multi-user editing isn't supported yet. It's on the roadmap. ## Less editing. More creating. Sign up free and make your first video today. [Start editing free](https://app.chatcut.dev/)
