# Supercut > Supercut is a private AI video editor that runs entirely in the browser. You describe an edit in plain English, a model turns that into a structured operation, and FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly runs it on your own device. Video files are never uploaded. - Everything decodes, edits and exports locally. The only network call an edit makes carries your prompt text and clip metadata (duration, dimensions, filename), never the footage. - It has two editing surfaces: a chat surface where you type the edit you want, and Studio, a multitrack timeline built on Remotion. - It ships as a web app at supercut.cc/app and as a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The desktop app adds a screen recorder, native export speed, and a local MCP server. - It was formerly called CapCutGPT, then UnoCut. Same product and same engine, current brand is Supercut. capcutgpt.com is still live and runs the same engine. - It is built by an independent developer, not by ByteDance, and it is not affiliated with CapCut. ## For agents - [Full text of every page](https://www.supercut.cc/llms-full.txt): the whole corpus in one file - [Markdown catalog](https://www.supercut.cc/md): one Markdown file per page, or append .md to any page URL - [AI usage policy](https://www.supercut.cc/ai.txt): what you may do with this content - [MCP server](https://www.supercut.cc/mcp): drive the desktop app from an MCP client - [MCP server card](https://www.supercut.cc/mcp.json) - [Sitemap](https://www.supercut.cc/sitemap.xml) ## Start here - [Open the editor](https://www.supercut.cc/app): the product itself, no account needed for a first export - [Download the desktop app](https://www.supercut.cc/download): macOS and Windows, adds the screen recorder - [Every tool](https://www.supercut.cc/features): all 43 operations with their prompts ## Good for - Privacy-sensitive footage: legal, medical, journalism, unreleased product video - Short-form social video for TikTok, Reels and Shorts - Quick one-off edits with nothing to install - Auto-captions that transcribe on-device with Whisper, so the audio never leaves - Screen recordings and product demos, with click-anchored zooms on the macOS desktop app - Batch processing a whole folder of clips locally, in Chromium browsers ## Not for - Not a cloud service.
