ChatCut is a professional-grade AI video editor that lets anyone edit videos by simply describing what they want in plain English. Launched on Product Hunt in July 2026, it quickly gained 668 upvotes and became one of the most popular AI video tools of the month. Unlike template-based editors that force a one-size-fits-all approach, ChatCut uses an AI agent that watches your footage, understands what each clip is about, and assembles them in a logical order that actually makes sense.
Core Features
- Prompt-based video editing with an AI agent that finds highlights, cuts repeated takes, and builds a real first cut
- Text-based editing that lets you edit video like a document — change a word in the transcript and the timeline follows
- AI motion graphics generator that creates chapter cards, charts, timelines, and emphasis effects from plain English descriptions
- Built-in AI image and video generation using Seedance 2.0 for B-roll, establishing shots, and visuals you could not capture on set
- Auto AI captions in 100+ languages with 20+ customizable styles
- Available on desktop, inside Codex or any AI agent, and directly in modern browsers
Use Cases
ChatCut is ideal for content creators, YouTubers, social media marketers, and anyone who needs to produce polished videos without spending hours in traditional editing software. It is particularly useful for talking-head content, product demos, educational videos, and short-form social clips. The tool eliminates the need to learn complex timeline editing, making professional video production accessible to users with zero editing experience.
Pricing
ChatCut offers a free plan with starter credits and basic editing capabilities, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs $25 per month with 100 credits, and the Premium plan is $100 per month with 400 credits. All plans include AI image generation, captions, music, and motion graphics capabilities. Annual billing saves 50%.
