Footage: Montaj by Crux
What it is
Montaj is a free desktop app from By Crux that lets ChatGPT or Claude edit your raw footage. It's like handing a box of clips to an editor who never sleeps.
Why it matters
It makes the cuts, adds captions, builds scenes and renders the video. You review the first cut and make the calls that need your taste.
How to try it
Montaj is free on Mac and Windows, runs on your computer and needs no account. Bring your own AI: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The links below have the download and the launch post.
