The AI video editor that writes your scenario, then cuts it

CutClip.one is a browser-based video editor with a built-in AI assistant. Describe an idea and get a full scenario — concept, treatment and scene-by-scene structure — laid onto a multi-track timeline. Then refine it by asking, automate the repetitive work, and export.

Every editor action is an MCP tool, and you can call them from your own AI client. Sign in, generate a personal token, and paste one of these into your client. It works on your projects and spends your credits, like working in the editor.

Run once in a terminal, then ask Claude to work on your Scene Flow projects.

CutClip.one's editor: a five-scene timeline with video, voice, music and SFX tracks, and the AI assistant proposing to attach a background music prompt
The assistant proposes an exact change — here, attaching a music prompt to the score — and applies it once you approve. Every edit shown is a real, undoable operation on the same timeline you see.

What is CutClip.one?

CutClip.one is an AI video editor and scenario maker that runs in your browser. It pairs a multi-track timeline editor with an AI assistant that can plan a film from a single idea and then edit it for you.

The assistant works through 65 Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools — the same operations you can perform by hand — so every change is visible, reviewable and undoable. There is no hidden AI-only path into your project.

CutClip.one plans, structures and edits. It does not generate video itself: bring footage from your camera, stock libraries or any AI video generator, and drop it onto the placeholders your scenario creates.

Everything for AI-assisted video editing

  • AI assistant for video editing

    Ask in plain language: trim this, move that, add crossfades everywhere. The assistant proposes exact changes and you approve them — or switch on auto mode.

  • AI scenario maker

    Turn a one-line idea or a reference image into a concept, treatment and scene breakdown, then apply it straight to the timeline.

  • Multi-track timeline

    Video and audio tracks, split, trim, duplicate, clip speed from −80% to +80%, per-clip and per-track volume, fades and crossfade transitions.

  • Scene-by-scene prompts

    Draft five prompt variants for each shot — Balanced, More Cinematic, More Realistic, More Surreal, More Minimal — with revision history.

  • 65 MCP tools

    Projects, tracks, scenes, timeline edits, scenarios, prompts and rendering are all exposed as Model Context Protocol tools.

  • Editing automation

    Batch dozens of edits into one approval and one undo, apply transitions across a whole track, or let auto mode build a rough cut unattended.

  • Export up to 4K

    Render a fast half-resolution preview or a full 1080p, 2K or 4K MP4 — widescreen, vertical 9:16, 4:5 or square, in H.264 or H.265 — on a background worker while you keep editing.

  • Undo history

    Every operation — yours or the assistant's — is versioned and attributed, and the most recent one can be undone.

How it works: from idea to exported video

  1. Describe your idea

    Type a line or attach a reference image. The assistant reads its style, mood and environment.

  2. Generate the scenario

    Get a concept, treatment and scene-by-scene structure with narrative purpose and planned durations.

  3. Apply it to the timeline

    Each scene becomes placeholders on video, music and sound-effects tracks, with prompt slots attached.

  4. Fill in and refine

    Upload footage to replace placeholders, polish the prompts, and ask the assistant for trims, transitions, speed and volume changes.

  5. Automate the repetitive parts

    Use batch edits, bulk transitions and auto mode instead of clicking through every clip.

  6. Export

    Render a preview or a 1080p / 4K MP4 and download it.

Built for filmmakers, creators and AI video workflows

  • Short films and narrative video

    Get a structured scenario and a timeline skeleton before you shoot or generate a single clip.

  • YouTube and social video

    Plan the story beats, pacing and durations, then assemble and tighten the cut faster.

  • Ads, explainers and trailers

    Turn a brief into scenes with clear purposes, then iterate on timing and transitions.

  • AI-generated footage

    Use the per-scene prompt variants with your favourite generation tool, then bring the clips back to edit.

Frequently asked questions

What is CutClip.one?

CutClip.one is a browser-based AI video editor and scenario maker. It combines a multi-track timeline with an AI assistant that can plan a film from one idea and edit it through MCP tools.

Is CutClip.one a text-to-video generator?

No. It plans, structures and edits video: scenarios, scenes, prompts and the timeline. Bring footage from a camera, stock library or any AI video generator and place it on the timeline. The prompt variants it drafts are written to be pasted into external generation tools.

How does the AI assistant edit my video?

The assistant calls editing tools — trim, split, move, speed, volume, transitions and more. By default it proposes the exact tool calls and you press Apply or Cancel. In auto mode it applies them itself. Every change is versioned and can be undone.

What is the scenario maker?

It turns an idea (or a reference image) into a concept with genre, tone, duration, logline and visual direction, plus scene drafts with titles, summaries, narrative purpose and planned durations. One step then lays the scenes onto the timeline as placeholders.

What are MCP tools and why do they matter?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for giving AI models tools. CutClip.one exposes 65 MCP tools covering the whole editor, so the assistant edits exactly the way you do, with the same validation, versioning and undo.

Can I automate video editing?

Yes. Auto mode lets the assistant carry out a multi-step build without waiting for approval, batch edits combine many timeline changes into one approval and one undo, and bulk operations apply transitions or close gaps across a whole track.

How much does it cost?

New accounts get 5 free credits. Credit packs are 100 for $5, 300 for $12, 1000 for $30. Manual editing is free; credits are spent on AI usage and renders. There is no subscription.

Which AI model powers the assistant?

The assistant uses Claude models from Anthropic. You can pick a model in Settings and, if you prefer, use your own Anthropic API key so the assistant costs you no credits.

What can I export?

You can render a half-resolution preview for quick review, or a final MP4 at 1080p, 2K (2560×1440) or 4K (3840×2160). Exports can be reshaped to 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and other aspect ratios (center-cropped or letterboxed), encoded as H.264 or H.265, at standard or high quality.
