The multi-track timeline, lane by lane
Video, overlay, audio and text lanes on one ruler — with pinch zoom, magnetic snapping, thumbnail strips and real waveforms.
20 feature guides
Everything ProCut does, one screenshot at a time.
Twenty deep dives into the ProCut video editor — every one built around real screenshots of the shipping app on a phone, and every claim checked against the feature that ships in version 1.0. Start anywhere; each guide stands alone.
Split, trim and ripple delete
The four gestures that do 90% of editing, and why ProCut stores cuts as frame numbers instead of approximate seconds.
Speed curves, ramps and presets
Speed is a curve, not a number. Four presets, draggable control points, and a duration readout that updates as you bend it.
Slow motion, reverse, freeze frame
The three constant-speed tools, why pitch lock is on by default, and how to shoot footage that survives being slowed down.
Transitions with real overlap
Dissolve, fade, slide, zoom, wipe and blur swap — with true clip overlap and an audio cross-fade that rides along automatically.
Filters and colour adjustment
Six looks, four adjustment sliders, and the discipline that turns mismatched footage into something that reads as a single piece.
Keyframes and Ken Burns moves
Scale, position, rotation, opacity and volume can all animate. Set two points, and the engine interpolates every frame in between.
Text, titles and captions
Text is a clip, not a sticker — trim it, keyframe it, stack it. Plus the safe-area rules that keep captions off the UI of every app you post to.
Audio mixing and waveforms
Independent audio lanes, real waveforms, per-clip volume, fades, and the levels that make music and speech coexist.
Text to speech voiceover
Six named voices plus your device's installed voices, pitch and reading speed controls, preview before you commit, then straight onto the audio lane.
Stickers and 3D emoji
Faces, Love, Party, Animals, Food and Nature — dropped onto their own lane, then scaled, rotated and keyframed like anything else.
Templates and slot counts
3-Second Hook, Travel Beat, food and sale layouts — each with a stated duration and slot count, and each fully editable once you open it.
Export presets and 4K HEVC
720p, 1080p, 1080p high, 4K and 4K HEVC — plus a photo export of the current frame, all through your device's hardware codec.
Proxy editing and performance
Imports build a 960p proxy for the timeline while export reads your original file — the reason a five-year-old phone can cut 4K footage.
Offline editing and privacy
Editing runs entirely on your device. There is no sign-up, no cloud processing of your footage, and aeroplane mode changes nothing.
Overlay and picture-in-picture
A second video layer with its own position, scale, rotation, opacity and grade — the basis of reaction videos, tutorials and product inserts.
One project, every device
Native apps on every platform, one JSON project schema, and golden-frame tests that keep the three engines honest.
Desktop: Mac today, Windows next
A notarised 4.3 MB universal .dmg with menu bar, keyboard shortcuts and a resizable window — plus an honest status report on Windows.
Free vs Pro, and what Pro unlocks
The whole editor is free, including 4K export with no watermark. Pro pays for licensed content and for cloud GPU time.
20+ languages, RTL included
Arabic to Vietnamese, with right-to-left layout, per-locale number formatting and a text tool that measures type against the frame.
Reading about an editor is slower than opening one.
Free core, no watermark, no account. Install ProCut and open a project.
