ChatCut
ChatCut is an AI-powered video editing platform that lets users edit footage using natural language prompts, making complex edits as simple as talking to an assistant. Just upload your video and describe what you want done, and the AI generates polished output. It converts spoken content into transcripts and searchable text, enabling intuitive transcript-based editing, topic- or theme-driven clip grouping, and rapid extraction of highlights, soundbites, or key segments. ChatCut supports web-based editing with contextual AI search to find moments by topic or emotion, drag-and-drop arranging, and timeline fine-tuning, plus XML export for seamless integration with professional tools like Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. It can remove repeated takes, create social clips, and assemble narratives from raw footage with minimal manual effort, and is expanding toward features like AI-generated motion graphics and music directly in the editor.

chimping.io
chimping.io is a post-production workflow service for freelance filmmakers, editors, colorists, and small production teams. It combines video review, file transfer, project-folder sync, and master delivery. Clients review cuts through private links and leave timecoded comments, which can be transferred to a DaVinci Resolve timeline as markers with the companion Resolve app. The Mac app supports large, resumable folder transfers. Project Sync keeps a project folder synchronized across team members while retaining its structure. Users can send files to collaborators, receive renders through links, and deliver password-protected masters. Recipients can access shared links without creating an account. Its rough-cut feature uses video transcripts to assemble story-ordered radio cuts for export to DaVinci Resolve or Premiere. Monthly plans include set amounts of storage, review time, encoding, transfers, and rough cuts, with tiers for solo filmmakers and production teams.

FirstCut
FirstCut is a browser-based narrative editor for dialogue-led video. It transcribes spoken material from imported footage, identifies possible story arcs, and assembles rough cuts organized as beats, clips, and transcript text. Editors can compare story directions, reorder beats and clips, remove or restore words, and request revisions from an AI assistant in plain language. The sequence can be previewed in the browser using video stored on the user's device; only extracted audio is uploaded for transcription. Users can export FCPXML, Final Cut Pro 7 XML, CMX3600 EDL, or OpenTimelineIO sequences to finish in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or Avid Media Composer. It is designed for interviews, documentaries, podcasts, lectures, webinars, and conversations where spoken content carries the story.

Sanbila
Sanbila is desktop software for video editors who need to store large media libraries without keeping every original on a local drive. It uploads footage from computers and external drives, and imports files from Google Drive, WeTransfer, SwissTransfer, or direct download links. Originals are stored in cloud storage while editors can generate lightweight proxies for offline editing or stream originals through a virtual folder. The workflow supports Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer. A Premiere Pro plugin links proxies to source clips, while Smart Relink restores full-resolution media from timelines in other supported editors. Teams can share projects with role-based access. Sanbila offers installable apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux and serves freelance editors, production teams, and post-production studios.
