Frequently asked questions

What is the ChatCut plugin for Claude Code?

ChatCut is an AI video editing plugin built for Claude Code. It installs like any other Claude Code plugin and lets you cut, caption, and edit video by describing the edit in plain language, without leaving your Claude.

How do I install the ChatCut plugin in Claude Code?

Paste the install prompt into any Claude Code session. Claude Code reads the setup guide and installs ChatCut Desktop, which connects itself to Claude Code. Sign in to ChatCut then start a new session to use ChatCut.

Can Claude Code edit videos?

Not on its own — Claude Code is built for writing and reviewing code. ChatCut adds AI video editing as a plugin, so the same session you use for development can also cut, caption, and export video.

Is this text-based video editing, or do I still need a timeline?

You can describe edits in plain language, and ChatCut applies them to a real, editable multi-track timeline. Open the ChatCut editor to inspect the result, drag or trim clips, and adjust captions or motion graphics manually. The agent and you work on the same project.

What can I create with ChatCut in Claude Code?

Talking-head edits, podcast-to-short clips, app promos, product ads, UGC clips, and creator reviews — basically anything from a single trimmed clip to a fully captioned, voiced-over, multi-track edit.

Do I have to leave my terminal to edit a video?

No. Cutting footage, generating captions, adding B-roll, and cleaning up audio all happen inside the same Claude Code session. Claude Code orchestrates the edit, and the timeline stays live in ChatCut for manual tweaks.

Can I use my own footage in ChatCut?

Yes. Upload your own footage and ChatCut edits it directly. It can trim footage, remove background noise, add captions, insert motion graphics, generate B-roll, and combine everything on a multi-track timeline.

Does ChatCut work alongside other Claude Code plugins or MCP servers?

Yes. ChatCut connects as its own MCP server, so it runs alongside whatever other Claude Code plugins, skills, or MCP servers you already have configured, without conflicting with your setup.

Edit in One Place with ChatCut Plugin for Claude Code

ChatCut turns Claude Code into a full AI video editor, available in the same session. You don't have to leave the workflow you're already in just to get a video edited.

Install once, edit in Claude Code

Add the plugin and sign in once. There are no API keys to generate, store, or manage, so you're editing in minutes, inside the Claude Code you already use.

Use all ChatCut tools with one connection

Cutting, captioning, motion graphics, voiceover, and AI video generation are all reachable through the single Claude Code connection — nothing needs a separate login or setup step.

Runs on your Claude Code usage

Claude Code's reasoning uses your Claude subscription or API allowance. ChatCut-hosted media generation uses ChatCut credits, and feature and export limits depend on your ChatCut plan.
