Okay, um, today's video is actually pretty simple, wait, let me start over actually pretty simple: I'll show you how your rough cut takes care of itself, [4s of silence] while you're already filming the next episode.
Editing eats your hours, not shooting.
Raw footage is done in ten minutes. Then you sit in the editor for hours repeating the same three moves: cut the uh, trim the pause, delete the stumble. Mechanical work that keeps you from the next video.
- Removing filler words and pauses costs hours per video.
- You hunt for words in waveforms instead of reading them in a transcript.
- Every retake needs to be found manually, reviewed, and deleted.
You edit words, the cutter cuts the video.
AgenticCutter transcribes your recording and shows you the edit as text. You say in plain language what should happen: tighten it, keep the take, cut harder. The cutter suggests, you approve, it renders. Controlled directly from Claude Code or Codex, everything on your machine.
How it works
Three steps from raw footage to finished video. You stay in control, the cutter does the work.
Suggest
The cutter transcribes your recording and shows you the cut as text. Filler words, pauses, and slip-ups are highlighted so you see at a glance what can go.
Approve
You read the transcript and say in plain language what should stay: cut tighter, keep a take, remove the ums. You decide, the cutter executes.
Render
The cutter edits and exports locally as mp4 or ProRes. No upload, no cloud, no waiting on someone else's servers.
See it in action: Propose, Approve, Render
Less explaining, more showing: in eight seconds, watch raw footage turn into a finished cut. You set the direction, the agent does the work.

What AgenticCutter actually handles
Six editing jobs you still do by hand today. AgenticCutter takes care of them automatically, right inside your timeline.
Shorten pauses
Long silences between sentences are compressed to a natural length so your video flows without sounding rushed.
Cut out stumbles
Broken words and retakes are identified from the transcript and flagged for removal before you even review the footage.
Trim starts and ends
Dead air and long pauses at the start and end of a clip are trimmed so every sequence gets straight to the point.
Select the best take
When you have multiple recordings of the same passage, AgenticCutter rates clarity and completeness and suggests the strongest take.
For those who cut their own videos.
If you know your footage, like your voice, and still have no interest in spending another hour in the editor, the cutter is built for you.
Solo YouTubers in German-speaking markets (DACH) who publish regularly.
Course creators who need clean cuts lesson by lesson.
Privacy-conscious Mac users who want nothing uploaded to the cloud.
What the cutter does today, and where it is going.
Thirteen features are already running. The rest is on the roadmap, with a clear order instead of vague promises.
Remove filler words and ums
Uh, um, like: automatically stripped out.
Cut gaps and pauses
Dead air out, pace in.
Detect retakes and stumbles
Say 'one more take' and the clean version stays.
Transcript-driven editing
You edit words, not waveforms.
Adjustable cut aggressiveness
From gentle to aggressive via the Cut-Grade slider.
Footage stays local and private

Audio noise guard
Door slam, phone ring, cough: nothing removed without your confirmation.
Best-take selection and visual pause preservation

Glossary-safe: brand names and proper nouns stay intact.
YouTube assets and direct upload

Being built.

Short-form and 9:16 auto-reframe
Shorts, Reels, and TikTok straight from the long video.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do my videos go? Are they stored on external servers?
Nowhere. Your video stays on your Mac. Transcription runs with mlx-whisper, cutting with ffmpeg, rendering locally. No upload, no external server sees your footage, only the transcript text for the cut decision goes to the cut-brain (more on that in the next question).
Can I use my own LLM? And what about Claude Code or Codex?
Yes. Your video footage always stays local on the Mac. If you steer via Claude Code or Codex, your edit instructions go to that provider. To keep the entire loop offline, connect a local LLM via LM Studio, and no copy leaves your machine.
When can I download AgenticCutter?
The download is live: get AgenticCutter for macOS via the download button on this page. The first 7 days are free, then you choose a subscription or a one-time purchase.
Does AgenticCutter run on Windows or Linux?
Currently macOS only. The app uses native macOS features such as Swift and Menu Bar integration.
How do I control the cutter? Do I need to code?
You work through the native macOS app with drag and drop, a Review UI, and an Approve Gate. Or you control the cutter directly via Claude Code or Codex using natural language. The cutter proposes, you approve, it renders.
What does AgenticCutter cost?
Try it free for 7 days, all you need is an email address. After that: 7.99 € per month, 49 € per year, or 99 € once. The one-time purchase is limited to the first 100 and includes all future updates.
Is there any outbound data traffic? Is it GDPR-compliant?
Your footage always stays on your Mac. In the default setup, only the transcript text for the cut decision goes to the cut-brain (Claude Code or Codex), which is standard data processing like any cloud tool. If you want zero data leaving at all, enable a local LLM via LM Studio (Zero-Cloud mode), then no copy ever leaves your machine.
What does the cutter do today, and what is still in progress?
Thirteen features are already running, from filler-word removal to transcript-driven cuts to the native macOS app. Three more are visibly marked as in progress. We show the order openly rather than making vague promises.
