AI BriefingOpenCut: Open-source CapCut alternative that runs in the browser
OpenCut-app/OpenCut
About the project
OpenCut is a free, open-source video editor that works on web, desktop, and mobile. Unlike traditional approaches, it supports all platforms with a single codebase based on a Rust core, and is currently being completely rewritten from the ground up. Released under the MIT license, it can be freely used by both individuals and businesses.
In the rewritten version, the Editor API and a plugin-first architecture are central. This enables third-party plugin development and integration with AI agents via an MCP server. It also supports headless mode for automation and batch rendering tasks, and provides a scripting tab directly within the editor.
Currently, the previous version, opencut-classic, is served at opencut.app, while the rewritten version is being prepared at new.opencut.app. As it is still in the architecture design phase, external contributions are not yet accepted, but progress can be tracked via Discord or issues.
