Can you edit a video by chatting with AI?
By Mohamed Mokbel, founder · Last updated:
Yes, partly: in Cutora AI (usecutora.com), an AI video editor for talking-head creators, you can ask the chat for changes such as tighter pacing, but the chat has real limits, so the main edit is a first cut you finish on a timeline you can change.
What the chat can and cannot do
What can the chat do in Cutora?
Cutora makes a first cut of your recording, then you finish the edit on a timeline, or by chat. After the cut you can ask the chat for tighter pacing, or ask it to put a clip of your own on the second video lane of the editor. The chat has real limits, and it does not generate video, avatars or voices. How the cut is decided is in how the first cut decides what to remove.
Can you undo a chat change?
Yes. Cutora's own changes, a whole first cut or one chat request, undo as one step. The History panel can undo one chat change on its own if nothing was edited after it. Any single cut can also be removed or restored from the Edits list.
Do chat edits use minutes?
No. Re-cutting, chat edits, exports, music and sound effects use no minutes. Minutes are used by the first cut: Creator has 120 minutes and Pro 250, and a yearly plan gets them every month. Extra minutes cannot be bought. See pricing for prices in US dollars before tax.
Which languages work?
English captions work today; Arabic cutting and captions are in Beta. Cutora is built and tested for English and Arabic, including Arabic mixed with English. Other languages are not blocked, but they are not supported or tested.
