ChatCut is a lightweight, professional-grade AI video editor anyone can use, even without editing experience. It’s like having a personal video editing assistant that understands your footage, intent, and timeline. Make structural edits, fine-tune cuts, add captions, B-roll, music, voiceover, motion graphics, stock footage, and AI-generated video in one place. Every edit stays editable on a real timeline, with XML export when you want to keep working elsewhere.
I'm Alima, co-founder of ChatCut. I’ve spent years producing ads, documentaries, and branded content, and editing was always the most painful part of the process.
When we started building ChatCut, we thought we were building for editors. But pretty quickly, we realized the pain was much bigger than that. Businesses, YouTubers, TikTokers, teachers, doctors, founders — everyone in the world is making video now, and almost no one enjoys editing.
Editing software is powerful, but it still feels stuck in another era. As video became part of every job, we felt there needed to be a different kind of editor.
We spent a lot of time thinking about where AI actually belongs in video editing. Not as a one-click generator, and not as a gimmick on the side, but as an editing assistant that understands your footage, your intent, and the timeline.
That’s what we’re building with ChatCut: a full video editor with an autonomous AI agent, a professional timeline, built-in stock footage, sound effects, transitions, and built-in generation tools like Seedance 2, GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs voices.
You shouldn’t need ten different platforms to finish one video. And AI should help where it’s actually useful, while humans keep control of the story and the final cut.
AI won’t replace human creativity, but it will change how we work. We’re building ChatCut to be part of that change.

Who hunted ChatCut?
ChatCut was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
