The "Cursor Moment" for Video Editing? | ChatCut Founder Kaiwen Li

Kaiwen Li, founder of ChatCut, explains why his AI video editor refuses to generate a single pixel, instead focusing on editing real footage through conversational workflows. Drawing from his background as a documentary director, he argues that serving non-professional creators—not pro editors—is the key to unlocking video creation's 'Cursor moment.' Li discusses his contrarian choices: avoiding generated content, building an 'alchemist' team culture, and finding order in chaotic unscripted footage. He shares how his Golden Horse-nominated filmmaking experience shapes ChatCut's approach to stylization and why he believes the obstacle is the way.
