[Try Video Translation](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/video-translation) ### Cut spoken slips and demo retries Strike out spoken slips, false starts and long pauses from your walkthrough takes while keeping every cut adjustable on the timeline. [Try Speech Cleanup](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/speech-cleanup) ### Crop widescreen demos into vertical shorts Slice a horizontal walkthrough or customer interview into vertical 9:16 clips with speaker tracking and captions ready for social feeds. [Try Add captions](https://pr-824-preview.chatcut.dev/skills/add-captions) ### Auto-cut multi-camera interviews and podcasts Go beyond solo screen demos: sync multiple camera angles, switch automatically on the active speaker and layer editable callout cards.

Yes, especially for product demos that need translated audio, a free plan or an editable handoff to Premiere, DaVinci or CapCut. Both offer AI editing agents, screen recording, motion graphics and reusable skills; Tella requires a paid plan after its 7-day trial and includes hosted video sharing and viewer analytics, while ChatCut offers free editing, free desktop 4K export and a local MCP server. Can Tella translate the spoken audio in my demo? Tella translates subtitles into up to ten languages on paid plans, but does not dub the spoken audio. ChatCut can create a dubbed version with translated speech and lip sync, so viewers can follow your walkthrough without relying only on captions. 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).
