Step past Rush's manual cuts and titles
Where Premiere Rush left you splitting clips with the scissors tool and typing every title card by hand, ChatCut edits transcripts, captions and motion graphics from a prompt.
Auto captions Rush never built in
Premiere Rush had no speech-to-text captions; ChatCut transcribes speech for free and layers kinetic display captions behind your speaker.
Try Add captionsPrompt motion graphics beyond MOGRT presets
Instead of hunting Adobe Stock for fixed MOGRT titles in Rush, prompt custom motion graphics cards with editable timeline layers.
Try Editorial ExplainerTranslate and dub without re-recording voiceovers
Premiere Rush only recorded live mic tracks; ChatCut switches translated scripts, captions and lip-synced dubbing across languages in one project.
Try Video TranslationAutomate social edits from Claude or Codex
Premiere Rush ended support in September 2026 without external AI agents, while ChatCut Desktop opens your local timeline to Claude Code, Codex and any MCP agent.

ChatCut vs Premiere Rush FAQ
Is ChatCut a good Premiere Rush alternative?
Yes, especially now that Adobe ended Premiere Rush downloads in September 2025 and discontinued support in September 2026. ChatCut runs on Mac, Windows and the web with free local 4K export, automatic captions, voice noise cleanup and an AI agent—plus Claude Code and Codex—that edits your multitrack timeline. If you specifically want a mobile phone app to replace Rush on iOS or Android, Adobe's Premiere mobile app or CapCut is a closer fit since ChatCut is desktop and web only.
What happened to Adobe Premiere Rush?
Adobe removed Premiere Rush from Adobe.com and app stores on September 30, 2025, stopped subscription renewals, and ended technical support and Creative Cloud desktop distribution on September 30, 2026. Creative Cloud file sync for Rush was also retired earlier in February 2025.
Can I move projects from Premiere Rush or ChatCut into Premiere Pro?
ChatCut does not open native Premiere Rush project files, though existing desktop Rush projects can be converted inside Premiere Pro using Open Adobe Premiere Rush Project. From ChatCut, you can export rendered videos up to 4K, editable XML timelines for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut drafts on desktop.
Export an XML timelineIs ChatCut free?
Yes. The Free plan includes the editor, uploads, transcription, captions and standard exports. AI generation and the built-in agent use credits, and AI video generation needs a paid plan.
See ChatCut pricingCan I use ChatCut from Claude Code or Codex?
Yes. The ChatCut plugin runs in Claude Code and the Codex app, and ChatCut Desktop connects Claude Code, Codex and other agents through a local MCP server. Your agent edits the real timeline, which you can keep adjusting by hand.
How the plugin worksCan I finish a ChatCut edit in another editor?
Yes. ChatCut exports XML timelines for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and ChatCut Desktop also exports editable CapCut drafts. It does not export Final Cut Pro XML (FCPXML).
