30-second intro
Projects
Each project holds a stack of related clips. Tap a project to expand it; the preview at the top plays whichever clip you've selected. Edits save as you make them.
A podcast season, a vlog week, an interview round — whatever belongs together. New Project, pull files in from Photos or the camera, edit.
Whisper transcribes each clip on-device.
Transcript
Whisper transcribes on-device when the file lands. Tap a word to delete it; the cut ripples into the preview sheet at the top. Long-press for a tag, swipe for level options.
Live preview
The preview sheet is wired to the words below. Every tap to cut, every filler trim, every speed change reflects instantly — no proxy render, no waiting.
Scrub the timeline, the transcript follows. Pull the preview sheet down to take it full-screen; push it back up to keep editing.
Capture & import
Open Cuts, tap the camera, record. The transcript starts as soon as you stop. Or pull one clip — or a whole batch — from Photos. Each file lands as its own paragraph in one continuous transcript.
Whether you record on the spot or stitch a batch together, you end up in the same place: the transcript, with the preview at the top.
Tags
Each removed word is colored by why it was removed. Glance at the transcript and you can see the shape of the edit before you play the video.
Drops dead air between words. Three levels — minimum, medium, maximum.
Removes "um", "uh", "like" — refined by the on-device language model.
Cuts the first attempt of a repeated phrase, keeps the cleaner take.
Marks emphatic moments and zooms into them at render time.
Effects
Five color filters, four aspect crops, four rotations, auto-enhance. Auto-reframe tracks the speaker's face for vertical 9:16 outputs. Equalize voice and Noise reduction handle the audio side from the same screen.
The Preview Clip chips at the top scope every effect to the take you're tweaking. Toggles preview on a frame extracted at the midpoint of the clip.
Temperature, tint, exposure, contrast, saturation. Sliders live-render against the same midpoint frame. Filters and grading stack — apply Cinema and warm the temperature for a unified look.
Subtitles
Modern, classic, bold, neon, minimal, block, caption, or handwritten. Toggle Highlight and the on-device language model picks the keywords that carry meaning instead of tinting every word.
