1–3 h footage in.
A clean cut out.
No cloud.
AutoCut detects silent pauses and filler words, cuts them precisely and exports in one pass – locally with FFmpeg and whisper.cpp. Built for podcasts, tutorials and interviews from 1 to 3+ hours.

Built for videos that cloud editors give up on.
Streaming analysis and native FFmpeg export keep hours of footage manageable – without uploading a single frame. Optional AI shorts work chunk by chunk.
Streaming analysis
The desktop app analyses audio without loading the whole video into RAM. Long recordings stay stable on ordinary hardware.
Chunked AI shorts
Optional AI suggestions send transcript text in 5-minute blocks with a 20-second overlap. Video and audio never leave the device.
Native FFmpeg export
H.264/AAC in one pass, with 9:16 crop, fades and fast-start. Deterministic output instead of a browser queue.
Real case: 1:58:34 test material
Analysed and exported locally on a 4-core Rocky Linux machine. No timeout, no upload. The browser demo handles up to 10 minutes; the desktop app is made for the long tail.
See exactly what the AI kept – and what it removed.
Blue means kept, grey means removed. The waveform stays aligned, and every cut can be adjusted by hand.

Everything long videos need. Nothing you don't.
AutoCut & silence
Tutorial and podcast presets, dB threshold, minimum pause, padding and automatic highlight search.
Local transcription
whisper.cpp on the desktop: tiny/base/small, word timestamps, click-to-seek, filler and repetition cuts.
Shorts
Up to five 45–60 second clips, 9:16 in one click, batch export; optional AI ranking with local fallback.
Inserts & sequence
Images, B-roll and audio at the playhead – with trim handles, auto-loop and an independent audio mix.
Formats & social
TikTok, Reels and YouTube presets, crop, rotation, mirroring, speed and punch-in against jump cuts.
Text & subtitles
Text overlays, SRT import/export, burned-in captions and bilingual filler-word lists (DE/EN).
We don't upload your videos. Here's the rest.
No vague “100% local” badge. This is the exact data flow.
- Video & audio stay local – analysis, cuts and export run on your machine.
- AI shorts are off by default. If you enable them, only transcript text is sent – never video, audio or file names.
- No cookies, accounts or tracking in the app. The license check is minimal and works offline for 7 days.
- Feedback is voluntary. When you send it, only rating, category, message and optional email are stored.
- Read the details in our privacy policy.

Honest questions. Honest answers.
Which systems are supported?
Linux today: AppImage, deb and RPM. The Windows build is configured and in progress, macOS follows later.
How long can my videos be?
The desktop app is built for 1–3+ hours; a 1:58:34 test recording was analysed and exported locally. The browser demo is limited to 10 minutes and 500 MB.
Does anything leave my device?
Video and audio: never. If you enable AI shorts, only transcript text is sent to Cloudflare Workers AI – no video, audio, file names or metadata. AI is off by default.
Do I need internet?
Only for license activation and optional AI shorts. After activation the desktop app works offline for up to 7 days. Your projects stay usable.
Why is the lifetime license limited?
The first 100 founder licenses are 99 € once. Local processing means no per-user cloud costs, so the price is sustainable – but the founder batch is deliberately small.
Are the packages signed?
Not yet in v0.1.0. GPG signing for Linux packages is the next hardening step. Transparency over marketing.
Which browser is best for the demo?
Chrome or Edge, because the demo uses WebCodecs for local export. For long videos and local transcription, use the desktop app.
