# OpenCut

OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor focused on simplicity and privacy-first design, positioning itself as an open-source CapCut alternative. Users import media in the browser and cut, adjust frames, add captions, and export on a timeline—no heavy install or account required. Unlike cloud-upload video tools, OpenCut keeps video, audio, and project data on the user's device. Media is not uploaded to servers; even AI features such as auto captions run via on-device models in the browser, better for creators who care about asset privacy and data control. OpenCut is MIT-licensed; users can read the source or self-host. Still early Beta and rewriting toward a next-gen architecture, with plans for a plugin system, editor API, MCP Server, batch render, and script automation to further support AI Agents with video workflows. [Product features] Timeline video editing: import video, images, and audio; cut, trim, move, scale, and compose on a multi-track timeline, with multi-clip select and adjust.
