Everything Supercut can do

Record the video, describe the edit in plain English, or arrange it yourself on a timeline. Every operation runs on your own machine, so there is no upload, no queue, and no watermark.

Record your screen

Supercut records your screen, microphone, and camera and hands the result straight to the editor, already seated on a backdrop with the corners and shadow applied. It is built for demos, walkthroughs, and the update you would rather not hold a meeting for. Start in the browser with nothing to install, or use the desktop app for computer audio and zooms that follow your cursor.

Three tracks, not one flattened picture

Screen, microphone, and camera are captured separately, and the camera is never composited into the screen. That is what lets you move, resize, restyle, or delete the bubble after the take instead of committing to a corner before you press record.

Zooms that come from what you did

On the macOS desktop app the recorder samples your cursor and records your clicks, so the push-ins land on the things you actually clicked. Each one arrives as an editable item you can retime or remove. In the browser there is no way to watch the cursor outside the page, so you place the zooms yourself.

Backdrops that are drawn, not downloaded

Every scene is CSS and SVG, one hue family per scene, with a real shadow seating the window. There is no asset to fetch, which is why the preview, a browser export, and a packaged desktop export all paint the same frame.

A count-in, and one honest clock

A short count-in runs once you have picked a source, so you get a moment to settle. Pause and resume as often as you need: the paused time is folded out of the final length, and out of the cursor and click timestamps with it.

It lands on the timeline already finished

The take drops into Studio inset on its backdrop with the padding, rounded corners, and shadow already applied. Trim it, caption it, then export a 4K mp4 or a GIF.

On your device, start to finish

Capture, edit, and export all run locally. There is no server copy, no generated share link, and no watermark, which is what makes it usable when the screen has an unreleased build or a customer account on it.

Studio, the multitrack timeline

When a prompt is not the right shape for the job, open the Editor tab. Studio is a proper timeline: layered video, audio, text, and captions, with trimming, splitting, and an inspector for each item. It is where a recording lands, where a picture-in-picture gets positioned, and where several clips become one piece.

Real tracks, real trims

Video, audio, text, and captions each sit on their own track. Drag to move, drag an edge to trim, split at the playhead. Clips carry a filmstrip and an audio waveform so you can see the thing you are cutting.

Cut by reading the transcript

Transcribe a clip on your device, then remove the words you do not want. The cut is applied to the timeline, which is the fastest way to strip filler out of a demo or an interview.

An inspector for the details

Select any item and set its position, scale, crop, timing, and text styling. Cropping reshapes the frame the item is laid out in, so a cropped clip sits correctly rather than being stretched back to its original aspect.

Ask for a change, then approve it

Describe an edit and Supercut runs it against a scratch copy first, then shows you exactly what it would do. Nothing touches your timeline until you accept it, and undo covers the rest.

The project is one file

Save a .unocut project file with the assets inside it, so a whole edit moves between machines as a single file rather than a folder you have to keep together.

One composition, every export path

Preview, browser export, and desktop export all render the same composition, so what you watched is what you get. Browser export needs a Chromium browser. The desktop app renders faster and is steadier at 4K.

Ask for the edit in plain English

Type what you want and Supercut works out the operation, then runs it locally. Only the text of your request is ever sent anywhere. Each card below is a real prompt you can paste into the editor.

Why it all runs locally

Supercut decodes, edits, and encodes on your device with WebAssembly, and the desktop app does the same with a native build. Your footage is never uploaded, which is the whole reason recording an internal dashboard or an unreleased build is fine here.
