One pass finds the speech, cuts the dead air, and produces clips ready to upload.
Speech is transcribed locally, then used to find exactly where the talking starts and stops.
Dead air, pauses, and filler words are trimmed automatically — only the speech-only scenes remain.
Optional face-aware cropping keeps the speaker centered in the 9:16 frame instead of a flat center-crop.
Styled captions with optional karaoke-style word highlighting, positioned clear of platform UI overlays.
Auto-rank clips by loudness into a highlights reel, or queue up a whole folder of videos at once.
Add background music with automatic ducking under speech, and overlay your own watermark.
No trial credits, no monthly bill, no surprise price hike.
