Type or say the edit you want ("open on the strongest line, cut every pause, captions 2-3 words at a time") and Cutaway cuts your own footage into a finished video in minutes. Then it hands you a real timeline: every cut, caption, title and transition it made is yours to drag, retime or delete. Editing and export run on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, so your video files never leave it. The full manual editor is free, with no watermark.

Partial Transcription, auto-cutting and captioning are doable with existing AI models and ffmpeg, but a real multi-track timeline editor with editable, exportable output is a substantial product-engineering effort.
What it would actually take: A working version can use Whisper-style transcription, LLM-driven edit planning that outputs an edit decision list, and ffmpeg for rendering. The hard part is the browser timeline editor that stays in sync with the EDL, handles previews and retiming, and exports a proper project format such as an NLE-compatible XML or EDL. Performance on long, high-resolution footage needs media-engineering experience.
