30-second intro
Projects
Each project holds a stack of related clips. Drop files in; Whisper transcribes each one on-device, detecting the language per file. Click a file to open it in the transcript view. Edits save as you make them.
A podcast season, an album rollout, an interview round — whatever belongs together. New Project, drag files in, edit. The library is always one window away.
Transcript
Whisper transcribes on-device when you drop a file. Click a word to delete it; the cut ripples into the preview on the right. Hover a word for its tag, right-click for level options.
Live preview
The preview pane is wired to the transcript. Every deletion, filler trim, speed change, and zoom reflects instantly — no proxy render, no waiting. Scrub the timeline and the transcript follows; click a word and the playhead jumps.
The page you're editing is the page you're previewing — every time.
Multi-file
Each file lands as its own paragraph in the left rail. Click to jump between them, drag to reorder. Cuts you make to one ripple across the stack without flattening it.
Interviews, B-roll, voice-overs, podcast segments — Whisper transcribes each in parallel and stitches them into a single document you can edit end-to-end.
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.
Polish
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 without leaving the tab.
Each effect applies to the clip you're previewing — switch clips in the Clips rail and the toolbar follows. Toggles preview on a frame extracted at the midpoint of the clip, never on a slow-rendering proxy.
Brightness, contrast, saturation, and temperature. 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.
White with a soft drop shadow. The default.
Yellow Courier. Documentary feel.
Heavy sans with a black outline. Holds up against bright footage.
Cyan glow. For podcast clips and night shots.
Thin white, no shadow.
White on black band. TV-safe.
News lower-third yellow.
Rounded script in warm rose.
