Description
WeftCut is a versatile, open source AI video editor designed for macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms. It is available for free under the MIT license, making it accessible to a wide range of users. The editor is unique in that it does not bundle any AI models; instead, it allows users to connect their own AI agents, such as Claude, Cursor, or Codex, via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This setup enables real-time editing and review of video timelines, with the AI agent providing the intelligence behind the edits.

The editor is equipped with a variety of features that cater to both novice and professional video editors. It supports A/B-roll timelines with filmstrip thumbnails and audio waveforms, frame-accurate SMPTE timecode editing, and keyframe animation with a Bézier curve editor. Users can also apply per-layer effect chains, including chroma keying, and manage captions in formats like SRT, VTT, and ASS. Additionally, WeftCut offers role-based audio mixing and the ability to export videos in formats such as H.264, HEVC, AV1, and ProRes, up to 10-bit.
WeftCut's design emphasizes local processing, ensuring that editing and export tasks are performed on the user's machine. This approach not only enhances privacy but also allows for offline operation. Optional speech and vision tools can be integrated using local engines or configured cloud providers, further extending the editor's capabilities.
The platform is particularly beneficial for users who already utilize AI agents in their workflow, as it seamlessly integrates with existing tools. Whether used with an AI agent or as a standalone editor, WeftCut provides a comprehensive suite of features that support a wide range of video editing tasks.
