ChatCut edits clips, podcasts and product demos. ## Edit the whole video, not just clips OpusClip is built for turning talking videos into short clips.

It installs ChatCut and starts the edit. ### Claude Code Cut a complete podcast answer Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then find a self-contained answer in my podcast recording, cut it to 60 seconds, remove retakes and filler words, and add vertical captions without losing the speaker's meaning. ### Codex Turn a founder update into a demo Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then combine my founder talking-head recording and product screen capture into a 45-second launch video with captions, feature callouts and a clear closing invitation.

Yes, for turning recordings into captioned clips and editing by instruction on an adjustable timeline. OpusClip 4.0 also offers automatic talking-video edits, reusable Recipes and agent plugins. ChatCut is worth considering when your work also includes multicam podcasts or product screen demos; OpusClip offers a native phone app. Can OpusClip's AI Producer edit a multicam podcast? Its official FAQ says multi-camera edits are not supported yet and recommends footage of one person talking to camera. ChatCut can synchronize camera recordings and let the agent cut between speakers, then turn the edited conversation into short clips. This limitation concerns AI Producer, not OpusClip's ability to clip an already edited podcast. Is ChatCut free? Yes. The Free plan includes the editor, uploads, transcription, captions and standard exports. AI generation and the built-in agent use credits, and AI video generation needs a paid plan. [See ChatCut pricing](https://pr-821-preview.chatcut.dev/pricing) Can I use ChatCut from Claude Code or Codex? Yes. The ChatCut plugin runs in Claude Code and the Codex app, and ChatCut Desktop connects Claude Code, Codex and other agents through a local MCP server. Your agent edits the real timeline, which you can keep adjusting by hand. [How the plugin works](https://pr-821-preview.chatcut.dev/docs/chatcut-products) Can I finish a ChatCut edit in another editor? Yes. ChatCut exports XML timelines for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and ChatCut Desktop also exports editable CapCut drafts. It does not export Final Cut Pro XML (FCPXML).
