Stop editing video.Start Vibe Directing
Your personal AI video editor. It watches every clip you upload, researches the footage you’re missing, and turns natural language into a professional cut. Faster and cheaper than hiring an editor, and honestly a lot more fun.
How it feels
From camera roll to point of view.
Lyracut doesn’t push your footage through a template. It understands what you shot, listens to how you want it to feel, and builds an edit with a reason behind every cut.
- 01
It finds the moments
Scenes, speech, faces, energy — understood before the first cut is made.
- 02
You give it a point of view
Describe the feeling, the pace, or the reference. That becomes the edit brief.
- 03
The story takes shape
A real timeline arrives with cuts, captions, and music — ready for your next note.

Real output. Real prompts.
Everything below came out of Lyracut's agent during our own test runs — cut, generated, or fetched from the web. The only human input was the sentence in the caption.

Capabilities
What your AI can do
Professional editing results by talking in natural language — every tool in the editor answers to it.

Understands your footage
Every clip is watched scene by scene — what happens, who speaks, what’s worth keeping, where it belongs in the story. Your assistant edits from what’s actually in the footage, not guesses. These are the real tags it pulled from our test camera roll.
One sentence becomes the cut
“Punchier captions — 3 words max — and more energy.” That sentence produced this: clips trimmed to 2.5s hits, captions timed to every beat, an upbeat bed mixed under it. Toggle to see the raw upload it started from.
CAPTURED STYLE — “e2e vlog style”
✓ applied to our footage at 3.82s avg
Copies any editor's style
Paste a YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok link and Lyracut reverse-engineers how it’s edited — then cuts yourfootage the same way. From a real capture during testing: it measured ~3.75s average cuts, relaxed pacing, hard cuts, sparse bold captions — and re-cut our timeline to 3.82s. That’s copying the feel, not the content.
GENERATED · 50 CR
FOUND ON THE WEB · 2 CR
Finds it — or makes it
Missing a shot? Your assistant does the research: it searches the web and YouTube for real footage for 2 credits — or generates brand-new b-roll with Lyra Studio for 50 creditswhen the shot doesn’t exist. Both of these came from one chat each.
Every result above came out of Lyracut’s own agent during testing — the only human input was a prompt.

Say where the story goes
Give it the feeling, pacing, or reference. A sentence becomes the creative brief.

Watch the edit take form
Cuts, captions, and music land on a real timeline — still yours to refine by hand or by chat.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Lyracut?
A video editor you direct by talking. Lyracut's analysis engine watches your footage scene by scene, and its editing agent turns natural-language requests into real cuts, captions, and music on a timeline you can still edit by hand.
Do I need editing experience?
No. If you can describe what you want to a friend, you can finish a video. The timeline tools are there when you want fine control, not because you need them.
What does “bring your own AI” mean?
Lyracut ships a built-in editing agent, but the whole editor is also exposed as an MCP server. Point Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, or any MCP client at it and your assistant can read the footage analysis, request edits, and set the timeline directly — on the cheaper MCP plans.
Can Lyracut create footage, not just cut it?
Yes — two ways. It searches the web and YouTube for real footage and images for a couple of credits, or generates brand-new b-roll with Lyra Studio, our in-house generation engine, when the shot doesn't exist.
Can I change an edit after the AI makes it?
Both ways, any time. Keep chatting (“drop the music, punchier captions”) or grab the timeline tools — split, clone, shift, delete. Your edits and the AI's live on the same timeline.
What models does it run on?
The in-house Lyra model family: Lyra Vision watches and understands your footage scene by scene, Lyra Max makes the editorial decisions (with Lyra Swift as the faster option), and Lyra Studio renders brand-new footage. Via MCP you can also drive the editor with any agent you already use.
