What Is ChatCut?
Whether you’re filming a long-form talking-head video, storytelling vlog, or advice-driven content, editing is where momentum dies. Hours of footage, multiple takes, scattered ideas — and all you really want is to find the best parts, cut the fluff, and publish faster.
That’s where ChatCut comes in: an AI-powered editing assistant that helps YouTubers edit videos using natural language prompts. No timeline scrubbing. No endless drag-and-drop. Just tell it what you want.
In this post, we’ll show how YouTubers can use ChatCut to:
Edit long-form videos using only prompts Extract their best takes and ideas Restructure raw footage into clean narratives Repurpose content for new formats or platforms Find compelling quotes to hook viewers in the first 10 seconds
And more…
Problem: You Have Too Much Raw Footage and No Time to Edit
Most YouTubers record in one of these ways:
Unscripted long takes — storytelling, commentary, stream-of-consciousness Scripted with multiple takes — trying to get each part right Loose outlines — sections shot out of order with ad libs
In any of these cases, editing takes longer than filming. And it’s hard to remember where you said something great.
ChatCut Helps You Edit the Smart Way — With Prompts
Here’s how YouTubers are using ChatCut to save hours and get to publish faster:
1. “Cut out repeated takes and keep the best one”
You don’t have to manually review every version of your intro.
Prompt:
“Keep the best take for each section and remove the rest.”
ChatCut analyzes your transcript and finds the cleanest version of each segment, even if you recorded 3–4 takes in a row.
2. “Organize my video into a clear structure”
Shot your video out of order? No problem.
Prompt:
“Structure the video into: intro, childhood story, high school lesson, outro.”
ChatCut reads your transcript, finds where each section happens, and rearranges your footage to match — no timeline scrubbing, no manual slicing.
Not sure what the best structure is? Just ask. You can chat with ChatCut to get suggestions based on your actual footage, discuss with it your ideas, etc. Once you land on a format you like, say:
“Implement that structure for me.”
ChatCut will instantly apply it, saving hours of dragging clips around and experimenting multiple structures.
3. “Find where I talked about motivation”
You remember saying something good… you just don’t remember where.
Prompt:
“Give me the part where I talk about motivation.”
ChatCut surfaces the relevant clips using transcript-based search, even if you didn’t plan it.
4. “Highlight the most impactful quotes for the hook”
Hooking viewers in the first 10 seconds is everything.
Prompt:
“Find the most powerful quotes to use as a cold open.”
ChatCut extracts emotionally resonant, high-impact lines to grab attention fast.
5. “Turn this long video into 3 separate YouTube uploads”
Let’s say you recorded a 45-minute storytime. Inside that might be three separate videos.
Prompt:
“Split this into three videos: one about moving to LA, one about starting my channel, and one about burnout.”
ChatCut finds the segments, splits the video, and even suggests titles.
6. “I want to try a different structure”
Feeling stuck? Try something new, instantly.
Prompt:
“Reorganize this into: intro, rant about burnout, tips to avoid burnout, personal closing story.”
ChatCut reshuffles the content based on meaning, not timestamps. It lets you experiment with multiple narratives without re-editing from scratch.
Bonus: Repurpose for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels
ChatCut doesn’t just cut videos, it helps you reframe and repurpose them.
Prompt:
“Find 3 short-form clips from this video under 60 seconds.”
Prompt:
“Export this for TikTok.”
You can take a long-form YouTube upload and spin it into 3–5 platform-ready videos, instantly.
