# AI video editor that works with ChatGPT and Claude

> Nuzky is a free, open source video editor that AI can edit for you. Type what you want, like “cut the ums and pauses, add captions and music”, and watch it work in the open project. Stop it any time, and one undo takes the whole run back.

Status: early, so expect rough edges. Current version: 0.1.9-alpha. Download it at https://nuzky.app/#download for a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 15 or newer, a 64-bit Intel or AMD PC with Linux and glibc 2.39 or newer or Windows 10 or 11 on a 64-bit Intel or AMD PC. Intel Macs, and Windows or Linux on ARM, aren't supported. License: GPL-3.0-or-later.

## How it works

1. Pick your AI. Sign in with ChatGPT inside Nuzky, with no terminal. Or use Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, or connect Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client.
2. Say what you want. Cut the ums and long pauses, keep the best takes, add captions, put music under the video, export for Reels. Attach a screenshot or a video if it helps.
3. Watch it edit. The AI edits the project open in Nuzky while you watch. Your controls lock while it works, with a Stop button.
4. Keep it or undo it. Every change goes through the same undo as yours, and one undo takes the whole run back.

## Good to know

- Runs on the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already have, with no credits to buy
- Pick the model and how hard it thinks, and come back to past chats
- Learns how you edit from your finished videos or CapCut drafts, and writes it into an EDIT.md that every AI follows
- Your videos stay on your computer. The AI sees what's said in them and the frames it checks
- Everything works without AI too: editing, captions and export

## Questions

### Do I need to pay for AI credits?

No. Nuzky uses the ChatGPT or Claude plan you already pay for. Nuzky itself is free.

### Does it work without a terminal?

Yes. Sign in with ChatGPT inside Nuzky and type in its AI panel. Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode need to be installed on your computer.

### Can AI ruin my project?

No. You see every change as it happens, Stop ends the run within seconds, and one undo takes the whole run back. Your original videos are never changed.

### Can it open my CapCut drafts?

Yes, drafts from CapCut on a Mac or a Windows PC. Clips, cuts, speed, volume, keyframes, texts, captions and transitions come over. Then press Finish with AI to hand the rest to ChatGPT or Claude. [Nuzky vs CapCut](https://nuzky.app/capcut-alternative.md)
