Edit videos by talking to an agent

Uncut is a video editor for the Mac with an agent built in. It runs your installed Claude Code, with Codex coming soon. The agent plans the cut, edits a real timeline while you watch, and hands every change back to you to keep or undo.

The Uncut editor cutting a travel film from drone footage: a media library of Croatian coast clips, the title Day four over a coastal road at golden hour in the preview, a timeline with text, graphics, six clips with transitions and music, and the agent panel with its brief, an approved storyboard and a passed review.

It edits the timeline live, and you stay in charge

Ask for a cut the way you would ask an editor. The agent sees your timeline, your footage and its transcript, and makes the edit right where you can watch it happen.

Plans before it cuts. A brief and a storyboard come first, for you to approve or change.
Reviewed by a critic. An independent pass checks the edit against the plan and sends it back when it falls short.
Every turn is one undo. Keep what works, undo the rest, or keep editing by hand on the same timeline.

An agent turn: it reads the transcript, cuts filler words and long pauses, appends the cleanest take and reports 3 edits with an undo button.

A passed review from the independent critic, with scores for the hook, phone readability, motion, variety and sound sync.

A real editor underneath

Tracks, trims, splits, snapping, keyframes and a mixer with ducking. Everything the agent does, you can do yourself.

The transcript panel with buttons to remove filler words and pauses, and the transcribed talk below.

Edit by transcript

Local transcription on your Mac. Remove fillers and long pauses in one click, or cut by the words.

Text presets: title, lower third, big title, kicker, highlight word, caption, stroked title and outline.

Captions and titles

Burned-in or word by word captions, SRT and WebVTT in and out, and animated titles, lower thirds and end cards.

The sound effects panel with a search box and a list of sounds with waveforms.

Sound effects and music

A built-in sound library, online sound search, and a mixer that ducks the music under speech.

Capture

Record your screen, camera and mic, or iOS simulators, Android emulators and apps, straight into the project.

Effects and looks

Filters, colour looks, transitions and text animations, previewed on the GPU.

Plugins

Looks, components, checks and agent tools in a folder, with a catalog to browse.

Export

H.264 at the quality you pick, with loudness for social or broadcast and optional subtitles.

Your footage stays with you

Uncut runs on your Mac, and so does transcription. The agent is your own Claude Code, with whatever sign-in it already uses, billed to you as your Claude Code usage normally is. Usage data is anonymous, and you can turn it off.
