🔒 YOUR VIDEOS NEVER LEAVE YOUR MAC
Turn a 2-hour recording into topic-based clips — with subtitles — in minutes
You choose the topics. AI creates the clips.
Video files stay local · Only audio is analyzed by AI.
There's a better way.
Edit by topic, not by timeline.
Long videos need a better editing method.
Traditional timeline editing can't handle 30+ minute videos efficiently. That's why we built Topic-Based Editing.
Takes too much time
Understanding the content, identifying topics, extracting relevant sections... timeline editing requires enormous time for long-form video.
Topics are scattered
A single topic is scattered throughout the video, making it nearly impossible to gather all relevant segments by scrubbing a timeline.
Missing important parts
Even rewatching long videos multiple times, it's hard to catch every relevant statement. You need topic-level awareness, not just a timeline.
Topic-Based Editing in 3 steps
Load a video, pick your topics, and export — that's Topic-Based Editing.
Import your video
Select a video file on macOS. AI automatically transcribes, identifies speakers, and extracts every topic discussed in your video.
Choose your topics
Review the topics AI extracted. Select the ones that matter to you, set your target duration, and let Topic-Based Editing optimize the clip. Reorder, toggle, and trim subclips frame-by-frame.
Export your clips
Optimized clips are generated based on your selected topics. Fine-tune on the timeline, add subtitles, then export as MP4 or FCPXML/Premiere XML for your NLE.
