Pre-edit in the browser · your video never uploads
Shot and beat detection, pause removal, and cut lists run in your browser. Review every cut as a list, then open it in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro — or render the MP4 right here.
00:00:04:12What it does
Each one ends in a list you can check, then a file your editor opens.
01 · Find the cuts
Scene detection reads the whole video in order and lands each cut on the frame where the new shot starts — fades don't count as cuts. Beat detection reads the BPM and lays a grid you can cut to.
Beats always free · shots 5 credits a run
Shot list01
02 · Clean up the talk
Pause detection lists every silence with its length. Play each one, untick the breaths you want to keep, and remove the rest in a single step you can undo.
5 credits a run · 150 free to start
Pauses to remove02
03 · Hand it off
Send cuts to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro as markers, export a CSV, or render an MP4 in the browser. Chapters come from your shots; subtitles from your narration script.

AI voiceover and language versions
Write or translate a script, and each speaker gets a voice that lands on its own track. Every language version keeps its own voices, so switching languages is one click.
00:01:02:00How it works
Open Beat2Cut Studio. Video, audio, and AI narration share one browser timeline.
Use Open video or Open audio. Files stay on this device; nothing is uploaded for detection.
Run Detect shots, Detect beats, or Detect pauses in the right rail, then review the list before you cut.
Export MP4 from the browser. Cut lists (FCPXML, Premiere XML, Resolve EDL, CSV) are available too. Beat cuts are free; lists with shots cost 5 credits per delivery. MP4 costs 10 on Free; Pro includes both.
Your video never uploads
Detection, cutting, and MP4 rendering use your own computer.
Nothing to install
A desktop Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox is enough.
Every cut is reviewable
Results arrive as a list first. Nothing is removed until you confirm.
No per-minute billing
Beat detection is always free. Every other run uses a fixed number of credits from the 150 free credits every new account gets once.
00:01:30:18Tools
Three kinds of tools: timeline detection with ripple trimming, single-file compression and conversion, and instant file checks. Beat detection is always free; the rest uses credits from 150 free at sign-up.

Helpful answers regarding beat detection, scene splits, browser rendering, AI voiceover, credit metering, and local privacy.
Yes. Audio beat detection is free and unlimited, and you can run it without signing in. Exporting a beat cut list (FCPXML, Premiere XML, Resolve EDL, or CSV) is also free; it needs a free account. Everything else runs on credits: every Free account gets 150 one-time free credits at sign-up; they don't refill. Scene detection, silence removal, compression and conversion cost 5 credits a run, and a file check costs 2; cut deliveries cost 5 and MP4 exports cost 10. Pro includes all of these. AI voiceover and translation use credits on every plan.
Every Free account gets 150 one-time free credits at sign-up; they don't refill once spent. Scene detection, silence detection, compression and conversion cost 5 credits a run, and a media probe, loudness check or contact sheet costs 2. Deliveries with shots, subtitles or a mixdown cost 5, and a finished MP4 costs 10. Beat detection and beat cut lists never touch the balance. Pro removes every one of those charges and adds a much larger allowance for AI Voiceover.
Sign in, paste your script, and choose a voice. Narration is placed directly on the timeline voice track. Voice generation uses third-party AI speech providers, sending script text securely to cloud models while saving audio to your account. Voice generation consumes credits on all tiers, including Pro. Free accounts get 150 one-time free credits.
Detection and export encoding for beats, scenes, and video run locally in your browser, meaning source media is never uploaded. Online services are limited to account sign-in, billing, and AI voiceover, which transmits script text to speech providers. We never use your scripts or generated audio to train our own speech models.
Scene detection costs 5 credits a run from the 150 one-time free credits on Free, enough for about 30 runs, while Pro provides unlimited scene detection. Audio beat detection is always free on all tiers. Deliveries with shots, subtitles (SRT/VTT), chapters, and audio mixdowns (WAV/MP3) cost 5 credits on Free and are included with Pro. Merged MP4 export is 10 credits on Free. All processing runs locally in your browser, with server contact limited to credit settlement without media data.
Yes. Beat2Cut outputs are yours to use in personal and commercial projects alike. Beat markers, scene cut points, exported MP4s, and AI voiceover audio can be used for client work, YouTube videos, ads, films, or social media. Source media and editing stay local in your browser, while AI voiceover sends script text to third-party speech providers.
Yes, via two convenient workflows. You can export cut points as Apple Final Cut Pro FCPXML, Premiere XML, DaVinci Resolve EDL, or CSV. Cut lists are completely free for beat-only timelines, and cost 5 credits per delivery when camera shots are included (fully covered by Pro). Alternatively, you can render a merged MP4 directly in your browser.
No desktop app required. Beat2Cut runs in modern web browsers and processes media directly on your device. Sign in with a free account to track credits: beat detection is always unlimited, and everything else draws from 150 one-time free credits. Source video stays local for detection, editing, and export encoding, while AI voiceover connects online to speech providers.

Drop in a video, check the cuts the browser found, and hand them to your editor. Beat detection is free forever; 150 free credits on sign-up cover the rest.
