Drop the project anywhere
Drop your Final Cut project or .fcpxml(d) anywhere in the window. No render or audio extraction.
Built for Final Cut Pro
The boring half of editing, automated.
Drop in your Final Cut project. TypeCut Pro cuts dead air, creates native captions, and turns the timeline into editable text — then hands it back without touching your original.
No export. No upload. No rebuild.
Analysis starts immediately
Progress stays over the viewer while the transcript editor remains ready underneath.
Get a new project back
Import the result and keep editing. Your original remains untouched.
Made for real timelines
Automation without the handoff tax.
Your edit stays an edit — not a flattened video. Connected clips, B-roll, storylines, adjustment layers, and timing stay intact.
Private by design
Speech recognition and editing run locally. Footage and audio never leave your Mac.
Non-destructive
Every result is a separate Final Cut project. The source project is never overwritten.
Native captions
Generate real Final Cut titles or captions, ready to style and batch edit in FCP.
Frame-accurate
Mixed frame rates stay aligned, and caption placement matches the final render.
Three jobs. One round trip.
From rough dialogue to a timeline worth finishing.
Built for interviews, lectures, podcasts, sermons, courses, and every other edit where the talking takes longer to clean than the pictures.
01 — SILENCE CUT
Trim the gaps, not the performance.
Find dead air between phrases and close it automatically. Choose how gently or aggressively the cut should breathe.
- Five cut-strength levels
- Optional filler-word and cough removal
- Preserves the rest of your edit structure
02 — AUTO CAPTIONS
Captions that arrive ready for Final Cut.
Local speech recognition and word-level alignment create captions that follow what was actually said — across every audio item in the timeline.
- Semantic line breaks and rule-based punctuation
- Native Title, Caption, or both
- Custom vocabulary for names, brands, and jargon
03 — TEXT-BASED EDITING
Read the cut. Delete the parts you do not need.
The always-mounted three-pane editor links every word to the timeline. Select text, press delete, and that span is cut from the new project.
- Transcript, viewer, and AI or output inspector in one workspace
- One-click full transcript view for focused editing
- Split and merge captions with the keyboard; undo with Command-Z
Finish, do not fix
Edit the words and the output without leaving the workspace.
Switch between the AI agent and output inspector beside the transcript and viewer. Adjust caption length, two-line mode, size, position, silence cuts, roles, and storyline output; changes re-export in seconds without another analysis.
Already have a favorite Final Cut title? Choose it — including third-party titles — and generate captions with its native values from the start.
