For creators switching from CapCut, Descript & more

You make the content.
We make it fast.

You're posting 5 times a week. Each video takes an hour to edit. That's a full workday lost to trimming silence, styling captions, and uploading to three platforms. ShortCut gives you that day back.

Sound familiar?

CapCut just hiked prices 177%

1080p is now locked behind a $20/mo paywall. Features you had for free last month now cost more than Netflix. And their TOS gives them perpetual rights to your content — including biometric data.

Descript lags on every timeline scrub

Laggy timeline, beach balls while transcribing, and a credit system that runs out mid-project. You're paying $24/mo for software that fights you.

30-90 minutes per video, every single time

Recording takes 5 minutes. Editing takes an hour. Trimming silences, fixing caption timing, exporting, uploading to each platform separately — it adds up fast.

Three tools for one workflow

One app for editing, one for captions, one for music, one for publishing. Every tool has its own subscription, its own export step, its own learning curve.

One tool. One workflow. Every video.

Delete words, not clips

Your video becomes a transcript. Every word is clickable. Select the filler words, the long pauses, the rambling tangent — and delete them. The video updates instantly. No timeline scrubbing. No setting in and out points. No razor tool. Just text editing, and the video follows.

Your brand, every time

Choose your font, colors, highlight animation, and position. Save it as your brand style. Every video you make will have identical captions — consistent, recognizable, professional. Word-level highlight shows your audience exactly what's being said. Phrase-aware line breaking keeps captions readable.

Post once, reach everywhere

TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels — each platform gets optimized metadata. AI generates titles, descriptions, and hashtags tuned to each platform's algorithm and character limits. Schedule ahead or publish now. One screen, one click, three platforms.

Leaving CapCut?

You're not alone. After the 177% price hike and the TOS changes that claim rights to your content, creators are looking for alternatives that respect their work and their wallet.

  • $12/mo vs $20/mo — and we won't surprise you with a price hike
  • Your content stays yours. We don't claim rights, train on your videos, or collect biometric data
  • 1080p on every paid plan, not locked behind the highest tier
  • Stable, predictable pricing. No bait-and-switch
