Free AI Video Editor OpenCutAI - Create Instagram Reels and edit videos with AI for free

Hey Product Hunt!

We're launching OpenCut AI - a fully open-source, local-first AI video editor.

We took [OpenCut](https://github.com/ekaanth/openc...), an open-source video editor, and built an entire AI suite on top of it:

- Edit by text - transcribe your video, then edit it like a Google Doc. Delete a sentence, and the video cuts itself.
- Voice cloning - clone any voice from a 6-second sample and generate voiceovers.
- AI image generation - create images from text and drop them on the timeline.
- Filler word removal - one-click removal of "um", "uh", "like", and "you know."
- Natural language commands - tell the editor "remove the intro" or "speed up the middle."
- Smart subtitles - karaoke, pill, and classic styles, generated instantly.
- Audio denoising - clean up background noise automatically.
- Podcast Clip Generator - AI finds the most viral-worthy 30–60 second moments from long podcasts.
- Word-Pop Karaoke Subs - Hormozi-style subtitles where each word pops up when spoken. 4 preset styles.
- Multi-speaker detection - auto-detect who's talking with pyannote AI. Video auto-cuts at speaker boundaries.
- Auto-Reframe 9:16 - face-tracking crop for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
- Brand Kit - define your brand once and apply intro/outro cards, lower thirds, watermarks in one click.
- Emotion detection - SpeechBrain AI detects emotional peaks to find the most impactful moments.

Everything runs locally. No cloud. No API keys. No subscriptions. No per-minute billing. Your videos never leave your machine.

Under the hood, we're standing on the shoulders of incredible open-source models like Whisper for transcription, XTTS v2 for voice cloning, Stable Diffusion for image generation, Llama 3.2 via Ollama for natural language commands, Pyannote for speaker diarization, and MediaPipe for face detection. All of it packaged in a single `docker compose up -d`.

We built this because video editing tools are either expensive, cloud-dependent, or closed-source and we wanted one that was none of those things.

Self-host it for as low as $20/mo, or just run it on your laptop.

Transcribe, translate, and generate voiceovers with 37+ Indian voice speakers — all from within the editor. Add your Sarvam API key in Settings and you're good to go.
