GrepCut
GrepCut is an AI-powered video editing platform that combines a full-featured timeline editor with semantic search and an intelligent editing agent. Users can upload raw footage, interviews, screen recordings, or finished cuts into a central media library, where GrepCut's AI indexes every shot, spoken word, on-screen text, object, logo, and person. This indexing happens once, making the footage permanently searchable and reusable across projects without re-uploading. The platform supports manual search via plain English descriptions—for example, finding a specific quote or a shot of a product logo—or letting the AI agent automatically gather relevant clips and assemble a cut based on a text prompt. All editing happens in the browser, with a full set of professional tools including keyframe animation, chroma key, color grading, transitions, asset libraries with royalty-free media, AI object tracking, relighting, and automatic subtitle generation. Exports support up to 4K 60fps with GPU acceleration for fast rendering.

Problem solved
Video creators and editors often waste hours manually scrubbing through hours of footage to find specific moments, quotes, or visual elements. Traditional video editors treat each project as an isolated timeline, forcing re-uploads and re-indexing. GrepCut solves this by building a persistent, searchable media library where every aspect of the video content—visuals, dialogue, on-screen graphics—is indexed once. Users can instantly locate any scene by describing it in natural language, and an AI agent can even assemble edits automatically, drastically reducing the time from raw footage to polished video.
Use cases
- Finding a specific interview quote by typing keywords or phrases, then dropping the clip into the edit without manual scrubbing.
- Locating shots containing a brand logo or product across multiple footage files for a marketing compilation.
- Automatically cutting a social media highlight reel by describing the desired mood, topics, or events.
- Adding dynamic, styled subtitles by generating accurate transcriptions and previewing styles in real-time.
- Enhancing poorly lit scenes with virtual lights after shooting, without advanced color grading knowledge.
- Removing green screen backgrounds instantly with edge refinement and spill suppression, no external plugins required.
