What is an AI video generator?
A tool that creates video clips from a text prompt, an image, or reference frames. ChatCut's is built inside a video editor, so each generated clip lands in My Assets, ready for your timeline, instead of in a downloads folder.
Can I generate videos from text?
Yes. Describe the subject, motion, lighting, and camera moves, and Seedance 2.0 generates the shot. Text-to-video works well for B-roll, product shots, scene inserts, background visuals, and social clips.
Can I turn an image into a video?
Yes. Upload a still, whether a product photo, a brand asset, or a frame you like, describe the motion you want, and ChatCut animates it into a clip.
What is first-and-last-frame generation?
You set the opening frame and the closing frame, and Seedance 2.0 generates the motion between them. It's the most controllable way to get transitions, product angles, and shots that match footage already on your timeline.
Which AI video model does ChatCut use?
The examples on this page use Seedance 2.0. ChatCut's manual Video Gen picker also offers other models. Supported inputs and operations vary by model.
Video generation guide Can I edit the clip after it's generated?
Yes. Every clip lands in My Assets. Drag it onto the timeline, or ask the Agent to place it, then trim, caption, voice, and score. No import, no round-trip.
What aspect ratios and lengths can it make?
9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 at several lengths, so the same idea fits a Reel, a YouTube video, or a billboard.
How is ChatCut different from other AI video generators?
Most generators hand you a standalone clip to download and edit somewhere else. ChatCut generates inside the editor, so you trim the clip, caption it, layer graphics and music, and export the finished video without leaving the workspace.
Where can I use ChatCut?
Use ChatCut in a supported browser, ChatCut Desktop, or a supported agent through the Agent Plugin or Desktop MCP connection. Web projects use cloud storage; Desktop can start from local project packages and local media. Cloud and local features have different network and export requirements.
