Tesseract AI video editor: a full timeline, with an AI that edits beside you.
Cut a whole edit on a timeline, or fix one clip in a few clicks: trim it, reframe it for a phone, caption it and export. Ask in the chat and the agent runs the same actions you would, and you see each change in the editor.

- Move an edit to another editorTimelines go in and out as FCPXML, Premiere XML, EDL, OpenTimelineIO, AAF and OMF, and anything a format can’t carry is named.
Say what you want changed. Watch it happen in the edit.
Every edit you can make with a button, the agent can make too. Ask it to trim the first three seconds and make the clip 9:16, or to grade two shots to match, and it works in the open editor while you watch. It can read the scopes as numbers, so it checks that the shots really match.
- Edits, trims, grades, mixes and multicam cuts, by asking
- Every change shows in the same panels you would use
- Or do it all yourself: the editor works without the agent
Your footage in, your edit out.
Open your video files, or a timeline from another editor. Your original files are never changed: every export is a new file, rendered on your computer.

Questions people ask
Is the video editor free?
Yes. The editor is part of the free app and renders on your computer. Only the AI edits use a model: an AI transition, a clip changed from a typed instruction, relighting or splitting the sound, and each shows its price before it runs.
Does editing change my original video?
No. A quick fix to one clip renders to a new file and opens it in a new tab. A timeline project refers to your media and exports a new MP4.
Can I move an edit to Premiere or Final Cut?
Yes. The timeline exports FCPXML, Final Cut Pro 7 / Premiere XML, CMX 3600 EDL, OpenTimelineIO, AAF and OMF, and names anything the chosen format can’t carry.
Can I remove “um” and long pauses automatically?
Yes. Transcribe the media, then remove filler words, or pauses longer than a length you set, in one step. Every unlocked track is cut to match.
Can I just tell the agent what to change?
Yes. Ask in the chat. The agent runs the editor’s own actions, so you see each change in the panels and can undo it.
Can I use the video editor in the web app?
Yes. The makers and editors also work in the web app, run by the computer it is connected to.
