[Try Editorial Explainer](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/motion-graphics?template=mg-packaging-editorial-explainer) ### Cut spoken fillers, not just silence Autopod's Jump Cut Editor only slices decibel silence; ChatCut transcribes speech to cut filler words, pauses and retakes. [Try Speech Cleanup](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/speech-cleanup) ### Pull captioned shorts without manual in-points Autopod's Social Clip Creator needs manual in and out points; ChatCut finds highlights, reframes to 9:16 and styles captions. [Try Add captions](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/add-captions) ### Translate and dub podcast episodes Autopod has no transcription, translation or voice tools; ChatCut generates bilingual captions, translated voiceovers and lip sync. [Try Video Translation](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/video-translation) ## Run podcast edits from Claude or Codex Autopod only runs inside Premiere or Resolve panels; ChatCut Desktop connects your local timeline to Claude Code, Codex and any MCP agent. ### Claude Code Cut a multicam podcast episode Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then sync my podcast camera angles and mic tracks, switch cameras on the active speaker, cut filler words and export a Premiere XML timeline. ### Codex Pull vertical social clips Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then find the three best moments in my podcast episode, reframe them to 9:16 with animated captions and batch-export 4K MP4s.

Yes, if you want a standalone AI video editor—or want Claude Code and Codex to run your edits—without paying $29/month on top of Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve Studio. ChatCut syncs and cuts multicam podcasts, removes spoken filler words and silences from the transcript, adds kinetic captions and editable motion graphics, and exports free Premiere or DaVinci XML timelines. If your workflow is strictly inside Premiere Pro with up to 10 cameras and 10 separate mic tracks and you only want a panel for camera switching and decibel jump cuts, Autopod is built specifically for that. Does Autopod have a free plan or work without Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve? No. Autopod is a plug-in that costs $29/month per computer after a 30-day free trial and requires Adobe Premiere Pro 2023+ or DaVinci Resolve (Resolve Studio, or Free Resolve 19.0.3 or earlier). ChatCut includes a standalone desktop and web editor with a permanent Free plan and exports XML timelines when you want to finish in Premiere or DaVinci. Can Autopod add captions, remove filler words or work with single-speaker videos? Autopod's Jump Cut Editor cuts silent pauses using a decibel threshold rather than transcribing speech to remove filler words or retakes, and its Multi-Camera Editor does not support single-speaker or single-audio-track setups. ChatCut transcribes speech for free to cut filler words and pauses, generates animated captions and works on both solo talking-head and multicam recordings. 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-824-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-824-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).
