About

CastCut is a Mac app that edits multicam video podcasts for you. Drop in your camera files and audio: it syncs everything by sound, cuts to whoever is talking (even from one shared mic), clears dead air and filler words, and finds the clips worth posting as shorts. Then it opens a normal, editable multicam timeline in Final Cut Pro, with Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve in beta. Runs fully offline on Apple silicon. First 2 exports free, no account.

AI Summary

CastCut is a Mac application that automates the editing of multicam video podcasts by syncing audio and video, removing dead air and filler words, and generating a multicam timeline in Final Cut Pro. It operates offline on Apple silicon, offering the first two exports for free without requiring an account.

Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.

ThinLittle evidence and no strong angle. Nothing to build on yet.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
