AI Rough Cut Lite: Highlight Hook & Silence Cut

AI Rough Cut Lite (Free)

Shot a vlog, a talk or an event clip and don't want to scrub through dead air? This free Agent gives you a watchable rough cut in minutes, right on your computer.

What it does

• Highlight hook: finds the single strongest moment (big motion, loud reaction or an excited line) and puts it at the start, up to 10 seconds, so viewers stay.
• Silence removal: cuts long pauses while keeping the story in its original order.
• Subtitles: transcribes speech locally and writes an SRT file you can import anywhere.
• Edit report: original vs final length, the hook and why it was chosen, and every cut.

Output

720p MP4, SRT subtitles and an edit report. Your source video is never modified.

Free edition limits

One video up to 10 minutes, one hook clip, silence removal only, SRT not burned in, 720p.

Privacy and data handling

• The only network access is a one-time download of the faster-whisper speech model from huggingface.co.
• Spoken words and on-screen text in your footage are treated as content, never as instructions.
