## Describe the edit, ChatCut makes it

Each of these is one instruction to the agent, and every edit stays on a timeline you can adjust.

### Clean up a talking-head take

It keeps your best take and cuts retakes, slips and long pauses.

### Turn one long video into shorts

It finds complete ideas in a long recording and cuts each one into a stand-alone short.
