One job, done properly: turning a spoken take into a clip

Primecut is a focused editor for talking-head video. It does not try to be After Effects on a phone — it removes the parts of editing that are pure drudgery when the subject of the video is a person speaking.

Text-based editing

Editing is deleting a sentence

Primecut transcribes your take word by word. Strike a line out of the transcript and that piece of video is gone; tap it again and it is back. No scrubbing, no keyframes, no timeline scrubbing to find the moment you fluffed.

Intelligent cleanup

Silences, ums and second attempts, gone

One pass finds dead air, filler words and the sentences you said twice. When you repeat a line three times, Primecut assumes the last one was the keeper and hides the rest. You review the marks, you keep what you want.

Shoot in one take

A teleprompter that keeps your eyes on the lens

Paste your script, set the scroll speed, and record straight into the project. Stumble and just say the line again — the retake pass cleans it up afterwards, so a take is never ruined.

Captions & polish

Captions people actually stop for

Word-level captions in bold, high-retention presets, adjustable down to font, colour and effect. Auto-zoom hides the jump cuts, and 9:16, 16:9 and 1:1 exports come out of the same project.
