# ChatCut

> ChatCut is a browser-based video editor that takes plain-language instructions and turns them into actual timeline edits, aimed squarely at people who find traditional editing software intimidating. You describe what you want, add B-roll, captions, music or motion graphics, and it assembles the cut, but crucially every project stays fully editable on a real timeline rather than locking you into a black-box render. What sets it apart from the wave of one-click AI video tools is that it treats the edit as reversible and portable. It analyzes your footage, interprets your intent, and lets you keep refining, and it exports as XML so you can carry the project into another editor if you outgrow it. That respect for the underlying craft makes it feel like a genuine tool rather than a novelty. For creators, marketers or anyone who films more than they edit, it is a lightweight way to get a polished result without learning a professional suite, while still leaving the door open to hand-tune the details.
