What it does

Uncut is a free, open-source (MIT) video editor for Apple silicon Macs with an agent built in. It runs the Claude Code or Codex you already have installed: you ask for a cut, the agent writes a brief and a storyboard, then edits a real timeline while you watch, and every agent turn can be undone in one step or redone by hand. A separate critic agent scores rendered frames and sends weak edits back. Uncut has no account; your footage stays on your Mac, while prompts, transcripts and frames go to your agent's provider.

Features

  • Agent edits a real timeline. Ask for a cut in plain language; the agent writes a brief and a storyboard, then edits the timeline while you watch. Type / to pick a skill such as /talking-head or /launch-promo. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • Independent critic. A separate agent that never saw the chat scores rendered frames and sends weak edits back, for up to three rounds in a turn. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
  • Undo per turn, edit by hand. Each agent turn undoes in one step, and everything the agent does can also be done by hand on the same timeline. Official source 1 ↗
  • Cut by transcript. Transcription runs on your Mac, and fillers and long pauses can be removed in one click. Official source 1 ↗
  • Titles and captions. Animated titles, lower thirds and end cards; captions burn in or play word by word, with SRT and WebVTT import and export. Official source 1 ↗
  • Record into the project. Record your screen, camera and mic, or iOS simulators and Android emulators, straight into the project. Official source 1 ↗
  • Sound, effects and plugins. A built-in sound library and online sound search with music ducked under speech, GPU-previewed filters, looks and transitions, and folder-based plugins. Official source 1 ↗
  • Export. Export H.264 or HEVC with loudness targets for social or broadcast and optional subtitles. Official source 1 ↗

  • Sampled frames. The agent sees sampled frames and can miss what happens between them, so you still need to watch the result. Official source 1 ↗
  • Context fills on long projects. Long projects fill the agent's context; Uncut shows a meter and suggests working in short turns. Official source 1 ↗
  • Mac only, limited export formats. Uncut runs only on Macs and exports H.264 and HEVC, with no ProRes or project interchange yet. Official source 1 ↗
