MCP.Pizza Chef: 0xsline

OpenChatCut is a video editor built so an AI agent can work directly inside a real project instead of just generating a clip you can't touch afterward. It hands off tasks like trimming footage, adding transitions and captions, generating music or images, and exporting a finished MP4 to Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or the editor's own built-in agent — while every change lands on an editable multi-track timeline you can still adjust by hand. It runs on your own computer, keeps your video files local, and needs an API key for the AI features to work.

OpenChatCut FAQ

Can I use this to edit a video just by describing what I want?
Yes — you can type instructions and the built-in agent (or Codex, Claude Code, or ChatGPT connected through it) will cut, arrange, and add effects directly on a real editable timeline, not just spit out a locked video.
Can I use this to add captions and background music automatically?
Yes — the AI can transcribe your footage, cut it based on the words spoken, add linked captions, and generate or search for background music and sound effects.
Which AI apps does this work with?
OpenChatCut has its own built-in AI agent, and it can also connect to outside AI tools like Codex, Claude Code, and ChatGPT, giving each one the same editing abilities.
Do I need an API key or account to use it?
Yes, you'll need to add an API key from an AI provider such as OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini for the AI features to work; your keys and video files stay on your own computer.
How hard is it to set up?
Setup is light — you paste a small connection snippet into your AI app's settings, or run one command, rather than needing to build anything from source code.
Will I lose the ability to make manual edits after the AI works on my project?
No — every change the AI makes lands on a normal multi-track timeline, so you can undo, redo, or keep editing by hand at any point.
Does my video footage get uploaded anywhere?
No — OpenChatCut is local-first, meaning your projects and media files stay on your own computer rather than being stored on someone else's server.
Can I export my finished video when I'm done?
Yes — you can export a finished video file, plus captions and full project data, so you can keep working on it later or in another editor.
