Native macOS · on-device AI

Edit video by editing the words.

Crisp transcribes your footage, then deleting an “um” from the transcript deletes it from the video. Filler words, flubbed retakes, dead air, cut by editing text.

How it works

Four steps, mostly one click.

1

Import

Drop in your raw clips. Reorder them to set the final cut.

2

Transcribe

On-device Whisper turns speech into word-timed text.

3

Auto-clean

Fillers, retakes and long pauses flagged for one-click removal.

4

Export

Stitch the kept pieces into one clean video and ship it.

What it does

Built for the cut, not the timeline.

Everything a talking-head creator actually does, and nothing else getting in the way.

The core idea

Transcript-driven editing

Every word is linked to its exact moment of video. Select a sentence and hit delete, the footage is cut to match. Click a word to jump the playhead there. It reads like a doc and edits like one.

Filler Re-take Pause

One-click Auto-clean

Detects “um”, “you know”, repeated takes of a flubbed line, and silent gaps. Review the list, accept what you want, apply.

Stitch & export

Combine multiple recordings into one continuous video, then export an MP4. No timeline juggling.

Private by default

Transcription runs on your Mac’s Neural Engine. Your footage never leaves the machine. No account needed to start.

Follow-along playback

The transcript highlights word-by-word as the video plays, so you always know where you are in the cut.
