Supacut

Supacut is a pre-edit tool that explores and logs interview footage, groups it into thematic pillars with speaker and timecode, helps you build selects, and exports an editable XML assembly to Premiere, Resolve, or Final Cut for a flat 39 dollars per year on a bring-your-own-key model.

Supacut is a pre-edit tool for interview-heavy projects such as documentary, branded, corporate, and unscripted work. The premise is that the strongest material is scattered across hours of raw footage, different voices, repeated ideas, and half-finished answers, and that watching, logging, comparing, and searching all of that by hand is the slow part before a timeline even exists. Supacut compresses that discovery and organization work so editors can spend more time shaping the story. After you bring transcripts and footage in, with original files left where they are and unmodified, Supacut analyzes the interviews and creates thematic pillars, or classifies segments into pillars you define yourself. Each pillar keeps the original quote tied to the speaker, the source clip, and the timecode, so it helps you navigate the actual footage rather than just summarizing it. You compare answers across interviews, surface strong soundbites, and build a shortlist of selects, previewing them in order in a built-in review player. When you are ready, Supacut exports an editable assembly as XML with in and out points to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut, and the finishing stays entirely yours. It is deliberately not a video editor and does not decide what makes the cut. Pricing is a flat 39 dollars per year billed annually with app updates included and unlimited projects. Notably, the AI runs on your own API key, so you are not paying Supacut monthly for tokens or credits; you pay the model provider directly. A set of free web tools, including a soundbite finder and a story arc generator, is also available on the site.
