CartCut is a free, open-source video editor designed for manual editing and AI-assisted video production. It provides a layer-based editing environment for combining video, audio, text, and visual effects. Users can trim clips, arrange unlimited layers, and animate properties through keyframes. The software supports audio mixing, chroma key effects, transitions, and high-resolution video projects. It includes screen and audio recording tools alongside automatic caption generation using Whisper. FFmpeg powers video rendering and supports common multimedia formats. CartCut also exposes its editing timeline through Model Context Protocol, allowing compatible AI agents to modify projects through natural language instructions. Built with Electron and TypeScript, it supports cross-platform workflows.
