Tips

  • Shorts are 9:16 and usually under 60 seconds.
  • Lead with the payoff to hold the first seconds.
  • Repurpose long-form by trimming the best moment.

Why it stays private

Supercut decodes, edits and exports your video entirely in your browser with WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device. To plan the edit, the AI gets your request, the words said in your clip and its sound levels (both worked out on your device), and a few low-resolution frames only if you turn that on.
