## Take your presenter beyond narrated scenes

Build on your Fliki workflow with footage, generated avatars, editable graphics and translated speech in one ChatCut project.

### Give your presenter graphics worth explaining

Need animated numbers over your presenter instead of another narrated scene? Ask ChatCut for editable counters, titles and callouts.

### Style the words in your footage

Bringing recorded speech into a Fliki explainer? Ask ChatCut to transcribe it and apply kinetic captions on the timeline.

### Let the presenter speak another language

Need your Fliki presenter video in another language? Ask ChatCut to translate, dub and lip-sync the exported clip.

[Try Video Translation](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/video-translation)

### Keep both languages in the frame

Need bilingual captions for a Fliki export? Ask ChatCut to translate the dialogue and place both languages over your footage.

## Bring your AI to the presenter edit

Fliki's Claude integration edits cloud scenes on Premium; ChatCut Desktop opens the timeline through local MCP to Claude Code, Codex and any MCP agent, with reasoning using your own agent subscription.

### Claude Code

Package a presenter explainer

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then combine my exported Fliki presenter clip with my product footage into a 60-second explainer, add captions and create editable motion-graphic callouts.

### Codex

Localize an avatar video

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then translate my exported Fliki avatar video into Spanish, dub and lip-sync the presenter, add bilingual captions and keep the result editable on the timeline.

## Build around your presenter, then branch out

## ChatCut vs Fliki FAQ

Is ChatCut a good Fliki alternative?

Yes, if you want avatars alongside your own footage, editable motion graphics and a desktop timeline driven by Claude Code or Codex. Fliki also has AI editing, a multitrack timeline and motion graphics, and suits a scene-based narration workflow. ChatCut's local exports and desktop video background removal are free; AI video and image generation require Pro plus credits.

Does Fliki already work with Claude?

Yes: Fliki's official Claude Desktop plugin uses MCP to create and edit cloud projects on Premium and Enterprise, with generated media using Fliki credits. ChatCut Desktop connects Claude Code, Codex and other MCP agents to your timeline, using your agent's own subscription for reasoning; ChatCut media generation has separate charges.

Which editing costs differ from Fliki?

Fliki charges 0.5 credits per second for video background removal and 0.1 credits per minute for video export, and lists templates on Standard and Premium. Its Free plan includes 3 monthly credits, so a credit charge does not always require a purchase. ChatCut includes desktop video background removal, local 4K export and built-in MG templates free; generating new media or asking its built-in agent to edit is charged separately.

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).
