BaoCut

What it does

BaoCut is an AI video agent for macOS and Windows. It transcribes, subtitles, translates, dubs, cuts, and animates, and each result lands on a timeline you can keep editing. You can bring Claude Code, Codex CLI, or another Agent Client Protocol client. A GitHub release on 27 October 2026 added a history-video workflow and still asks for a review before export unless you explicitly request self-check and export.

Where it fits

Install the desktop app, bring footage, and describe the cut. Read the receipt of what changed, then adjust the timeline before you export.
