What it does

The boring first pass, done.

Transcribing, finding the good answers, ordering them into a story and cutting the ums. Ready to open in Final Cut Pro in minutes.

Story-ordered

Finds the strongest moments across one clip or many, quotes checked word for word against the transcript, then orders them into a story that fits your maximum length.

Cleaner cuts

Fillers and hums are detected in the audio itself, not from a word list. Audio fades are added at every cut. Click a cut to join it again.

Straight to Final Cut

One event and project per clip, in your library, at native resolution or 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, with subtitles or closed captions if you want them.

Quick guide

From footage to Final Cut in five steps.

  1. Install and choose your brain

    Open the app. Pick Local (free, runs on your Mac, private) or API (better judgement; paste your own Anthropic key once, it lives in your Keychain). The transcription model downloads on first launch.

  2. Drop in your footage

    Drag one clip or several onto the start screen. Files are read in place from their drive and never copied.

  3. Say what you need

    Name the project and add a short note: what the video is for, who watches it, the maximum length. Tick fillers if you want ums cut too.

  4. Review and adjust

    Play the edit as one timeline. Reorder or delete clips, click a grey tick to join a cut again (⌘Z undoes), or just ask for changes in plain words.

  5. Send to Final Cut

    Pick a library, a format and captions, then press send. Have Final Cut open with the library first; it lands as a ready project.

Requirements

Mac only, for now.

Built for macOS and Final Cut Pro. Apple Silicon is highly recommended, because the local transcription model is compute intensive.

You need

  • A Mac running macOS 12 or later
  • Final Cut Pro (tested with version 12)
  • About 2 GB of free space for the app and the transcription model
  • An Anthropic API key only if you choose API mode

Which Mac?

  • Apple Silicon (M1 or later): highly recommended. Local transcription is fast and comfortable.
  • Older and Intel Macs: lighter models that fit the machine are on the way. Cloud transcription through an API service keeps compute needs low.
  • The more memory, the faster local mode runs.
Your footage stays on your Mac. Transcription runs locally. In API mode only the transcript text is sent to the AI service, never your video or audio.

FAQ

Good to know.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

The trial ends and the app asks for a license key. Buy once and you keep it, including all 1.x updates. Your projects and settings stay where they are.

Local or API: which should I use?

Local is free and private and runs a model on your Mac. API uses Anthropic's Claude with your own key, is noticeably better at judging which answers to keep and trims to length precisely. Switch any time.

Does my footage get uploaded?

No. Media is read in place and transcribed on your Mac. In API mode, only text from the transcript is sent to the AI service you chose.

Does it replace editing in Final Cut?

No, it replaces the first hour. You get a clean rough cut as a normal Final Cut project, and everything after that is yours.

Which Final Cut versions work?

It writes FCPXML 1.13, checked against Apple's own definition, and is tested with Final Cut Pro 12.

I have an older or Intel Mac. Will it work?

Apple Silicon is highly recommended today. Lighter models for older Macs are on the way; start the free trial to see how it runs on yours.
