Choose your workflow
Find highlights, caption a full video, assemble a Supercut or make a silent website loop.
Build a Supercut
Bring several videos together. Review the selected segments, change their order and trim the assembly.
Animated captions for a full video
Correct the transcript, translate into 12 languages and choose a caption preset or save your own style. Add title overlays and remove pauses where supported.
One Supercut from several videos
Combine moments from multiple source files, reorder or drop segments, and add captions to the finished assembly.
Silent loops for a website
Crop a screen recording in two dimensions and export short silent animations, including WebM. No speech or transcript required.
Why the Mac app
Paste YouTube links directly
Paste a YouTube URL in either the web or Mac app. On Mac, the video downloads directly to your computer and rendering runs locally, without the server processing queue.
Processes on your Mac
Download and rendering run on Apple Silicon. Compressed audio and transcript text are sent to online services for transcription and AI analysis.
No upload wait for big files
Because the file never has to be uploaded, long recordings and large files start processing immediately.
The same clips as web
Vertical 9:16 clips, AI moment detection, animated word-by-word subtitles and title overlays. The output is identical to wowcut.app.
Subtitles in 12 languages
Keep the original language or translate the captions into 12. Transcription and translation require an internet connection.
One login, synced plan
Sign in with the same Google account as the web app. Your plan and limits carry over, so there is nothing to buy twice.
Web vs Mac app
Both versions accept YouTube links and video files. On Mac, downloads and rendering run on your computer. Local files need no upload; speed depends on your Mac and connection.
