WolfCut is a free, open-source native video editor positioned as a CapCut replacement. Its Rust engine handles cutting and encoding, while a React interface provides multi-track editing, multiple timelines per project, splitting, trimming, merging, transitions, speed control, titles, styled text, templates, and voice filters. The application includes local text-to-speech and auto-caption features; captions run on the user's machine and audio is not sent elsewhere. It is designed to run without watermarks, accounts, subscriptions, or additional downloads, and supports macOS, Windows, Linux, and Nix. The repository describes it as an alpha pre-release distributed through GitHub Releases.

OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor for the web, desktop, and mobile, positioned as a local alternative to CapCut. It provides basic video-editing capabilities while keeping users' video files on their devices. The project is being rewritten around a Rust core intended to support browser, desktop, and mobile clients from one codebase. The planned architecture includes an Editor API, third-party plugins, an MCP server for AI agents, headless batch rendering, and an in-editor scripting tab. The existing classic version remains available through opencut.app while the rewrite is developed at new.opencut.app. OpenCut is licensed under the MIT License.

ReScript is an open-source, transcript-based video and audio editor that runs in the browser or as a desktop application. It processes media locally on the device, transcribes audio with Whisper using word-level timestamps, and assigns speaker labels with pyannote; users edit the media by deleting words from the transcript, which creates cut ranges that the preview and timeline apply to the original recording. The editor supports imported SRT, VTT, and JSON transcripts, filler-word and silence removal, speaker-grouped transcripts, waveform and word-level timeline editing, split and trim operations, and adjustable word timings. It exports video, audio, transcripts, subtitles, and NLE timelines for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Pro Tools, and Logic. The web and desktop versions use ffmpeg.wasm for on-device media extraction and export. Desktop builds are distributed for macOS, Windows, and Linux through Electron, while the browser app is available at app.getrescript.com.

video-use is an open-source video-editing tool for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and Openclaw. It takes raw footage in a folder and produces an edited MP4, with support for removing filler words and dead space, applying FFmpeg color-grading chains, adding short audio fades at cuts, burning customizable subtitles, and generating animation overlays through HyperFrames, Remotion, Manim, or PIL. Its pipeline transcribes each source with ElevenLabs Scribe, packing word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, and audio events into a Markdown view. The agent reasons over that transcript and requests filmstrip, waveform, and word-label composites from timeline_view only at decision points, rather than processing every video frame as visual context. It then creates an edit decision list, renders the result, evaluates the rendered video at every cut boundary for visual jumps, audio pops, and subtitle problems, and can revise and re-render up to three times. The tool uses an approval-oriented workflow in which the agent inventories sources, proposes an editing strategy, waits for confirmation, executes the edit, evaluates it, and persists session memory in project.md. It requires FFmpeg and an ElevenLabs API key; yt-dlp is optional for downloading online sources. Outputs are placed in an edit directory next to the source footage.

Palmier Pro is a Swift-native macOS video editor built for AI, with generative video and image models integrated into the timeline. It can expose a local MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp for connections from Claude, Codex, and Cursor, and includes an in-app agent that can create and edit within the same project. It requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later on Apple Silicon. Releases through v0.7.6 and the corresponding published source are available under GPLv3; later binary releases are proprietary.
