[Try Speech Cleanup](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/speech-cleanup) ### Layer kinetic captions behind the speaker Go beyond standard clip presets: describe bold display typography and layer animated captions behind your subject in real time. [Try Add captions](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/add-captions) ### Cut multicam podcasts before clipping While OpusClip's AI Producer requires single-camera footage, ChatCut locks onto active speakers across cameras and adds editable explainer callouts. [Try Editorial Explainer](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/motion-graphics?template=mg-packaging-editorial-explainer) ### Drive B-roll and demos from script Use numbered camera and B-roll cues in your script to combine founder talking heads and screen captures into product walkthroughs. [Try AI Feature Tour](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/app-promo?template=app-promo-ai-feature-tour) ## Run full timeline edits from your agent Unlike OpusClip's AI Producer plugin, ChatCut Desktop connects Claude Code and Codex to your local timeline for multicam, demo and 4K edits. ### 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, or when you want free timeline editing, local 4K export and Premiere or DaVinci XML handoff on desktop; 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-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).
