AutoCut

AutoCut is an innovative tool that lets users edit and cut videos using a text-centric workflow instead of a traditional video editor. AutoCut automatically generates subtitles or transcripts for uploaded videos, and users can simply edit the text file to select the segments of the video they want to keep. This approach transforms video editing into a textual editing task, greatly lowering the barrier to editing for users who find traditional video editors complex or unintuitive. AutoCut supports multiple transcription backends, including Whisper and faster-whisper modes, allowing users to choose based on speed or accuracy needs. After editing the transcript text, the corresponding video clips are merged into the final output, and the tool also produces matching subtitle files. Its command-line interface can be integrated into scripts, making it suitable for automated workflows or batch processing.
