Hey Product Hunt 👋
Launching OpenChatCut — an open-source, local-first AI video editor where agents edit a real multitrack timeline (not a one-shot black box).
• Built-in agent + external agents via MCP (Codex / Claude Code)
• Real timeline: clips, transitions, captions, effects, exports
• Free & open source (AGPL) — independent, not affiliated with ChatCut

Early build note: macOS may warn about an unsigned app — expected for now.
Would love feedback on install UX and agent → timeline quality. Happy to answer anything 🙏
