Skip jumping between separate VEED tools

Describe the whole edit once, and ChatCut cuts, captions, dubs and adds graphics on a timeline you can still tweak by hand.

One request instead of five tools

Instead of running Magic Cut and Edit by Script separately, ask once to cut retakes, remove fillers and reorder takes.

Try Speech Cleanup

Subtitles styled for each video

Switch between kinetic subtitle styles matched to each spoken phrase, instead of locking the whole video to one preset.

Try Add captions

Dubbing you review before it runs

Proofread the translated script before generating lip-synced dubbing across languages, then keep editing on the timeline.

Try Video Translation

Explainer graphics on the timeline

Generate animated charts and callouts directly on your GUI timeline as editable layers, not in a separate CLI tool.

Try Editorial Explainer

Run ChatCut from Claude Code or Codex

Unlike VEED's headless OpenEdit CLI, ChatCut connects Claude Code and Codex to a live desktop timeline you can inspect and adjust.

Claude Code

Caption and translate

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then caption my video in English and add a Spanish dubbed version.

Codex

Clean up a recording

Read chatcut.io/desktop to install ChatCut, then remove the filler words and long pauses from my recording and add captions.

ChatCut vs VEED FAQ

Is ChatCut a VEED alternative?

Yes. Both caption, translate, dub and generate video with AI. VEED splits editing across browser tools and a separate OpenEdit CLI without a GUI timeline; in ChatCut you describe the whole edit and the agent works on a live timeline you can adjust or export to Premiere, DaVinci and CapCut.

Does ChatCut work in the browser like VEED?

Yes. The ChatCut web app runs in a desktop browser at app.chatcut.io and includes the AI agent. ChatCut Desktop for Mac and Windows adds local MCP for Claude Code and Codex, plus free local 4K export, voice noise cleanup and AI background removal.

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.
