Cuts — Edit Video Like Text

Cuts turns your video into a page of text. Whisper transcribes every take on device, the moment it lands — then you edit by tapping words, not dragging clips.

Tap a word — the cut is made. The video follows.

01 · AUTO
Silences, fillers and retakes, cut for you — each with three levels: minimum, medium, maximum. Every removed word stays on the page, struck through and colored by the reason it was cut. Nothing is hidden, and one tap brings any word back.

02 · THE TRANSCRIPT IS THE TIMELINE
Record inside the app or pull clips from Photos — one take or a whole batch. Each file becomes a paragraph of a single, continuous transcript. Select words to remove them, change their speed, zoom into the moment, or lay B-roll over exactly the words it should cover. When you'd rather work by hand, the Timeline lane holds the same edit: trim a piece by its edges, split it, reorder it, pinch to zoom, scrub frame by frame — and undo covers all of it.

03 · SUBTITLES
Burn in subtitles in eleven styles — modern, classic, bold, neon, minimal, block, caption, handwritten, editorial, typewriter, tape. Highlight tints only the keywords that carry meaning, picked on device. Captions can be translated at export.

04 · PRESETS
One tap sets the whole pipeline: TikTok, Reels, Stories, Shorts, YouTube, Podcast or Audio Only — tight cuts, vertical 9:16 with auto-reframe, 1080p, burned-in captions. A starting point; switch off anything you'd rather keep.

05 · COLOR & SOUND
Film looks and full grading — temperature, brightness, exposure, contrast, saturation. A look can cover the whole film or a single clip, and the preview and the exported file agree. Auto-reframe follows the speaker's face for vertical video. Equalize voice and noise reduction clean the audio on the same screen. Each project also takes a color from its own footage, and the editing pages carry it — a switch in Settings turns that off.

06 · EXPORT
Render on device, in the background. Save to Photos or Files, MP4 or ProRes, source quality or 1080p/720p/540p — the resolution you pick is the resolution you get — with an optional .srt sidecar.

07 · PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
Nothing leaves your iPhone. The transcription model and the language model ship inside the app — no account, no cloud, no analytics, no tracking. Cuts works on a plane.
