## Edit every layer after the first draft

Swap mismatched B-roll, fix spoken slips, restyle captions and localize your timeline in ChatCut without starting the render over.

### Pin B-roll to exact script cues

When generated scenes drift from your narration, tag script cues so your chosen product shots and B-roll land on beat.

### Strike out spoken slips in place

Fix a misread line or stumbled take directly from the transcript without rebuilding the rest of your timeline.

[Try Speech Cleanup](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/speech-cleanup)

### Fix names and switch caption styles

Correct product names in the transcript and preview native caption presets live on your timeline without re-rendering the scene.

[Try Add captions](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/add-captions)

### Localize any timeline into new languages

Switch subtitles and dubbed voiceovers across Spanish, French, Chinese and more while keeping every track editable on desktop.

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

## Run local timeline edits from your agent

Connect Claude Code or Codex to ChatCut Desktop's local MCP server to build explainers and revise scenes on your own machine.

### Claude Code

Build an explainer from approved assets

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then make a 45-second product explainer from my approved script, screenshots and recordings, use only those visuals, add narration and captions, and keep titles editable.

### Codex

Fix a mismatched scene and pronunciation

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.

## Reusable workflows for explainers and ads

Pick a repeatable workflow for product tours, editorial explainers, kinetic captions or multilingual ads and run it inside the editor or from your agent.

## 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](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).
