Reel Cut · Edit agent · In build

Reel Cut is a transcript-based rough-cut editor. An agent does the pre-work: fillers, silences, false starts and rearrangement proposals. You review in a text editor with word-level trim and an inline waveform, then export to Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut.

Reel Cut · 01 / 05

Write the video.

The script is the timeline. Every word has its sound.

A spoken script is shown as text with its waveform underneath. The agent strikes through the filler words and one repeated false start and proposes each cut with its reason. You keep the cuts: the struck words fade, the remaining words close up and the waveform gets shorter. The tightened sentences then become clip blocks on a timeline with the shortened audio below, and the timeline is handed off to three editors: Premiere, Resolve and Final Cut.

Why it exists

Editing starts with hours of clean-up before the first real decision: fillers, silences, false starts. That is work an agent can do, and judgement only a person has.

  • Without it: Hours of trimming before the first real cutWith it: Clean-up arrives as proposals
  • Without it: The edit lives in a timeline only an editor can readWith it: The script is the edit
  • Without it: Notes arrive as messages, not as changesWith it: Every change can be kept, skipped or undone

What it does

  • Edits video by editing its transcript, with word-level trim

  • An agent proposes cuts for fillers, silences and false starts, each with its reason

  • Every proposal is a change you keep or skip, and anything cut can be restored

  • Places B-roll and graphics against the lines of the script

  • Exports timelines for Premiere, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro

  • Runs local-first, with an MCP server so Claude can drive the whole edit

Filler word: “um” adds a pause, not meaning.

If you keep it

These words are cut from v1. The recording and its timings stay: you can restore them any time.

False start (repeated): “We start,” is said twice.
