YumCut
Open-source AI short video generator for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.
YumCut is a free/self-hosted alternative to closed short-video SaaS tools for end-to-end short-form production.
YumCut is built for creators, agencies, and growth teams that need to produce short vertical videos fast and consistently. You provide the idea, YumCut generates the script, voice, visuals, captions, and final edit for a ready-to-post 9:16 video.
Purpose of the project:
- turn short-form production into a repeatable workflow instead of manual editing chaos
- reduce production cost with open-source/self-hosted control
- help teams publish more often and test more content ideas per week
Main use cases:
- daily TikTok / YouTube Shorts / Instagram Reels publishing for faceless channels
- turning one idea into multiple language versions for wider reach
- testing different hooks/styles quickly without rebuilding videos from scratch
- agency-style batch production across multiple brands or clients
