How it works

Three steps to a tighter video.

No editing software. No manual scrubbing. Just upload, describe, and download.

1
Upload your video
Drop an MP4, MOV, or WebM file — or paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL. FocusCut supports 1000+ video sources via yt-dlp.
2
Describe what to keep
Type a goal in plain language: "only the coding demos" or "skip the intro and ads". AI transcribes and analyses every second.
3
Review and download
See every segment labelled Keep or Remove. Flip any segment, preview the result, then download your cut video.

Review segments

Every cut, explained.

The AI labels each segment with a reason. Agree, disagree — you're always in control.
