Wisecut

Wisecut is a video editor built around turning long recordings, such as podcasts, webinars, and YouTube videos, into short, social-ready clips. Instead of a traditional timeline, it generates a text-based storyboard from the video's speech, so editing means rearranging transcribed lines and scenes rather than manipulating keyframes. From there it can automatically detect likely highlight moments, cut out silences and dead air with matching auto-zoom, add captions and translations, and reframe footage between vertical, square, and widescreen formats for different platforms. Its Autopilot feature connects directly to a YouTube channel to generate and publish clips on an ongoing basis, and a feature called WISH lets users describe an edit in plain language for the AI to carry out. Other touches include smart background music with automatic audio ducking under speech, noise cancellation, hook titles, and voice enhancement. Wisecut also integrates with YouTube, Adobe Creative Cloud, and ChatGPT. The tool targets creators, podcasters, marketing teams, and organizations that publish video content on a recurring schedule and don't want to hand-edit every clip. It says it has more than a million users and is available on the web and as an Android app, though exact pricing tiers are not detailed on the homepage.
