A podcast
Cut the rambling intro so the conversation gets going sooner. Leave in the pause that makes the next line land.
Start with the video you have.
Open your video and tell Tightcut what needs changing. It can find the moment you’re talking about and make the edit.
Watch it back. If something feels off, give it another note or undo the edit.
What are you working on?
A short clip
There’s a great moment buried in that long recording. Tell Tightcut to find it and cut the video around it.
A walkthrough
Nobody needs to watch the loading screen at normal speed. Ask Tightcut to speed it up.
You’re in charge.
Undo any edit.
Watch what changed. If you prefer the way it was, undo it. Your original file stays intact.
Editing stays on your Mac.
Tightcut processes your video locally. It asks before using a tool that needs an upload.
Use your own AI subscription.
The AI runs through your connected account. You can choose which model does the editing.
Questions?
How does the AI part work?
You describe the edit in chat. The AI can find the right moment in your transcript and make changes to the timeline.
What do I need to run it?
An Apple Silicon Mac with Codex installed. Tightcut uses your existing AI subscription for editing.
Does my footage leave my computer?
The video file stays on your Mac during local editing. The connected AI service can receive transcript excerpts or selected frames as it works.
