How do I automatically generate captions for my video in Vidcut?

To auto-generate captions in Vidcut, upload your video and click the "Auto Captions" button in the left sidebar or top toolbar. Vidcut extracts the audio and utilizes Whisper AI to transcribe speech into precise, timestamped segments with synchronized word-by-word timestamps in seconds.

How do I reframe 16:9 horizontal videos to 9:16 vertical TikTok/Shorts without black bars?

In Vidcut, select the 9:16 aspect ratio from the top player toolbar. Click on the video in the canvas and drag horizontally or use the Reposition & Zoom Studio panel (Pan X slider) to pan and center the speaker, product, or focal point. The true pan & scan engine seamlessly covers 100% of the vertical frame with zero black cutoff margins.

Does Vidcut upload my private videos to cloud servers for editing?

No. Vidcut operates primarily client-side inside your browser using HTML5 Canvas, Web Audio API, and IndexedDB local storage. Your media files remain private and secure on your device.

What video export formats and aspect ratios are supported?

Vidcut supports exporting videos in 9:16 (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), 16:9 (YouTube, Vimeo, Desktop), 1:1 (Instagram Feed, Square Posts), and 4:5 (Instagram Portrait Feed) with custom frame rates (24fps, 30fps, 60fps) and high-bitrate WebM / MP4 video files.
