Questions editors ask
Can Claude edit in Final Cut Pro?
Yes. It edits the project you have open: cuts, captions, titles, colour, keyframes and graphics, as Final Cut Pro's own clips.
Does Final Cut Pro have AI built in?
Some. Final Cut Pro 12 searches your footage by what's said and what's in the shot, makes captions in US English, masks objects and matches colour. It won't cut your pauses, or take an ask in your own words and do the rough cut. That's what Claude does here, with Final Cut Pro's own tools where they exist.
Will it change my project? Can I keep editing by hand?
It changes only what you ask for, and Final Cut Pro's Undo takes it back. Edit by hand whenever you like, then ask for more.
Final Cut Pro already does captions. What does this add?
Claude runs Final Cut Pro's own captions for you, then styles them, fixes the breaks and builds the rest of the first pass around them.
Which Claude plan do I need? Does it work with ChatGPT?
Claude Pro or Max, with Claude Code or Claude's desktop app. ChatGPT and Codex aren't supported yet.
Does it work with multicam?
Not for switching angles yet. It follows whoever is talking within a shot, and matches your cameras' colour.
Can it caption in other languages?
Captions come from Final Cut Pro's own transcription, so the languages are Final Cut Pro's. More are on our list.
Which Macs and versions? Is it on iPad?
Final Cut Pro 12.4 or later, on a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later). Not on Intel Macs or iPad.
Where does my footage go?
It stays on your Mac. Only what you choose to send to AskEditor is uploaded.
Is this Apple's?
No. It's made by AskEditor and isn't affiliated with Apple or Anthropic.
Is there an MCP for Final Cut Pro?
Yes. The app sets it up for Claude in one click.
