OpenCut-app · Open-Source Video Editor

OpenCut

Since Week 21 2026: the open-source CapCut alternative replaced its codebase with a rewrite that targets web, desktop and mobile from one Rust core. The roadmap lists an editor API, a plugin-first architecture, an MCP server so AI agents can drive the editor, a headless mode for automation and batch rendering, and an in-editor scripting tab. The rewrite is still scaffolding, with a GPUI desktop shell and an FFmpeg build workflow added on 24 September, and none of those agent features have shipped yet. The working editor moved to opencut-app/opencut-classic and still runs opencut.app (last release v0.3.0, April). MIT, 91,684 stars.
