Description
CastCut is a Mac app that edits multicam video podcasts for you. Drop in your camera files and audio: it syncs everything by sound, cuts to whoever is talking (even from one shared mic), clears dead air and filler words, and finds the clips worth posting as shorts. Then it opens a normal, editable multicam timeline in Final Cut Pro, with Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve in beta. Runs fully offline on Apple silicon. First 2 exports free, no account.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic video script generation can be vibe-coded, but multi-camera audio waveform cross-correlation sync, speaker diarization on a single shared mic, and generating valid Final Cut Pro XML (FCPXML) multicam project files require non-trivial audio processing and NLE format expertise.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native macOS backend (Swift/AVFoundation) integrated with audio processing libraries to perform acoustic fingerprinting and cross-correlation for syncing disparate camera tracks. It requires integrating speech diarization models (like pyannote.audio or Whisper diarization) capable of separating speakers on a single microphone channel, followed by an algorithmic cut-decision engine that serializes complex multicam angle edits into strict, valid FCPXML format.
