CastCutCastCut › AI podcast editor for Mac
An AI podcast editor that runs on your Mac
Most AI podcast editors are websites that want your footage uploaded. CastCut is a native Mac app: the AI runs on Apple silicon, the edit lands in the editor you already use, and nothing leaves your machine.
What the AI actually does
- Hears who is talking. It separates voices even from one shared microphone, and tells three or more people apart.
- Sees who is on camera. It matches every voice to a face by lip movement, including several people on one wide shot.
- Cuts like an editor. Opens wide, cuts a beat before each line, goes wide for crosstalk, and never cuts on a quick "yeah".
- Cleans up. Long silences, ums, false starts and repeated takes, each shown so you can undo it.
- Finds shorts. Ranks the moments worth posting and frames them vertically.
- Transcribes and captions in 90+ languages, including Filipino.
Not a new editor to learn
CastCut does not replace your editing app. It does the mechanical part and hands you a normal, editable timeline in Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Every camera stays on its own layer, so you can change any decision it made.
Why on your Mac and not in the cloud
No upload of hours of 4K footage, no queue, no per-minute billing, and no client footage on someone else's server. See offline podcast editing for exactly what runs where.
