01
Creators with too much footage
Too many clips. Not enough time. Clean, cut, and ship without babysitting every scrub.
02
Editors tired of hunting footage
Stop tab-switching through stock sites. Describe what you need and place it on the timeline.
03
Anyone with audio who needs a video tonight
Drop a voiceover. Get an animated explainer with changing images — or a stock-footage cut — fast.
04
Anyone who wants AI media without a meter running
Generate images and videos on your computer or iPhone by chatting. Local runs don’t cost a dime per generation.
Four jobs HakoCut finishes faster.
Raw footage → usable cut
Describe the cut. Remove dead air, tighten boundaries, land on a real editable timeline. Review each step before it applies.
DEMO PLACEHOLDER: raw footage → usable cut
Chat the cut → review steps → editable timeline
Stop hunting stock
Ask for the B-roll you need. HakoCut finds and places footage so you keep editing instead of searching.

Looks like CapCut on purpose.
HakoCut is built to feel familiar — CapCut-like editing so you don't relearn the craft. The difference: you can talk to the timeline, generate images and videos on-device by chatting, and clear the busywork (stock hunt, cleanup, audio assembly) without giving up a real multi-track editor.
- —Same mental model: timeline, clips, export
- —Chat when you want speed; timeline when you want control
- —Ask mode = read-only Q&A over your footage (no accidental edits)
- —Edit mode = reviewable workflows you approve step by step
- —Chat → generate images & video on your machine — no per-gen bill

03
Run one step, several, or all
Approve what you want — including on-device gens. Undo anytime.
