# Supercut

> Supercut is a private AI video editor that runs entirely in the browser. You describe an edit in plain English, a model turns that into a structured operation, and FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly runs it on your own device. Video files are never uploaded.

- Everything decodes, edits and exports locally. The network call an edit makes carries your request, clip details (duration, dimensions, filename), and the words said in the clip and its sound levels (both worked out on the device), plus a few low-resolution frames only if the person turns that on. It never carries the video file.
- It has two editing surfaces: a chat surface where you type the edit you want, and Studio, a multitrack timeline built on Remotion.
- It ships as a web app at supercut.cc/app and as a desktop app for macOS and Windows. The desktop app adds a screen recorder, native export speed, and a local MCP server.
- It was formerly called CapCutGPT, then UnoCut. Same product and same engine, current brand is Supercut. capcutgpt.com is still live and runs the same engine.
- It is built by an independent developer, not by ByteDance, and it is not affiliated with CapCut.

## Not for

- Not a cloud service. There is no server-side render farm and no upload step.

- Not a good fit for very large files on low-memory machines, because the WebAssembly heap is bound by the browser tab.
- Not a mobile app. It runs in a desktop browser or as a desktop app.
