What is Recut?

Recut is a desktop video editor (Mac & Windows) built for fast podcast, interview, and tutorial editing. Its standout feature is AI-powered silence removal, letting you cut dead air and filler words in minutes instead of hours.

How does Recut work?

  1. Import your video or audio.

  2. Recut scans the track and detects silences/pauses.

  3. It automatically removes gaps, speeding up pacing.

  4. Export to your editor of choice (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, etc.) or directly as a polished file.
