FAQ
How many clips do I get, and how long are they?
It depends on the content: segments worth posting on their own are picked by topic, then each one is jump-cut to remove repetition, tangents and filler. Clip length is only a preference; nothing is cut to a fixed length. In our test, a 14-minute conversation gave 4 clips of 42 seconds to 1 minute 49 seconds.
What's the difference between Finished clips and Rough cut?
Finished clips fills the frame with a blurred background, adds an occasional slow zoom and burns in subtitles, ready to post. Rough cut + projects only picks and jump-cuts the segments, giving you each clip with SRT subtitles and Premiere / Final Cut projects to polish yourself, at half the price.
Which languages are supported?
The spoken language can be Mandarin, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean or French. Videos in other languages can't be cut yet. Titles, summaries and tags are written in the same language.
What if my video already has subtitles?
Finished clips burns in a new layer of subtitles. If your video already has burned-in subtitles, tick Remove burned-in subtitles under Advanced, or the old and new subtitles will overlap.
Why upload the whole video, and how long does it take?
The clips are cut and rendered in the cloud, so the whole video is needed. Finished clips takes about 1.5 times the video's length and Rough cut about half; you can close the page and download from your tasks later. For 4K or very long videos, export to 1080p before uploading.
Can it cut meeting or screen recordings?
Yes. These recordings often use a variable frame rate, so they're first converted to a constant frame rate in the cloud, which adds a few minutes. Using the same file with another tool reuses the converted copy. Rough cut projects keep the original video's timing, so just relink the original recording after opening.
How do I use the project files?
The Rough cut Premiere XML and Final Cut XML refer to the original video by file name, so relink it once when prompted after opening, then keep editing. For CapCut drafts, use the gtrk CLI.
How is it priced?
By the length of the original video: Finished clips costs 4 credits per minute and Rough cut 2 credits per minute, prorated and rounded up, however many clips you get. Live prices and full rules are in Pricing on this page. You need to sign in; failed runs are refunded.
