Same video. 40 minutes shorter.

60 min 20 min

In this example, 40 of the 60 minutes were false starts, tangents, dead air and chatter. FocusCut cuts them. You keep the 20 worth publishing.

Tell it what to keep, in your own words.

  • Creators

    YouTubers, podcasters and streamers: turn a long raw take into a tight first cut.

    “only the parts worth posting”

  • Course creators and coaches

    Cut the setup, fumbles and tangents from a raw lesson or live session before you publish it.

    “only the teaching, skip the setup”

  • Agencies and editors

    Get a rough cut from hours of client footage, then polish only what is left.

    “only the best answers to each question”

  • Teams and webinar hosts

    Send people the part of a meeting or webinar they actually need.

    “only the decisions and next steps”

  • Students and learners

    Watch only the useful parts of a long lecture or talk.

    “only what’s on the exam”

Three steps. No scrubbing.

  1. 1

    Add your recording.

    MP4, MOV or WebM, straight from your device. No account needed.

  2. 2

    Say what to keep.

    Write something like “only the best moments” or “skip the intro and dead air.” FocusCut listens to the whole video. A 30-minute video takes under 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Check it, then download.

    Every part is marked keep or cut. Change any you disagree with, preview the result, and download your new video.

You never lose something by accident.

Every cut comes with a reason. Disagree? Flip it.

Test it on one recording, free

I’m Arush. I built FocusCut because I was done dragging a scrubber through hour-long recordings to find the ten minutes I actually needed. Now I’m making it for creators, course makers and agencies who feel that every week. It’s a one-person project, so when you write to me, I’m the one who reads it.
