Codex

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then open my ChatCut product video, replace the second scene with my supplied product clip, correct the product name in the voiceover and captions, and preserve the other scenes.

ChatCut vs Invideo FAQ

Is ChatCut an Invideo alternative?

Yes. Both offer AI generation, agent editing on an editable timeline, and connections to Claude Code and Codex. ChatCut is a fit if you want a Mac and Windows desktop app with local MCP, editable motion graphics layers and free local 4K export alongside a web editor; Invideo runs in the browser and also offers phone apps.

Is Invideo only a prompt-to-video generator?

No. Invideo Editor supports uploaded footage, agent edits and manual changes on a multitrack timeline. ChatCut also combines generation with timeline editing, so compare the workflows for your actual footage rather than assuming Invideo only produces finished clips.

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

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

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).
