Smart Cut

Choose what to analyse

Whole timeline analyses every video and audio clip on every track in one go. A video and the audio linked from it count once. Per clip analyses one clip you pick from the list. With nothing on the timeline the panel says "Add a video or audio clip".

A clip has to be a server upload before it can be analysed. A clip that is still uploading, or a variable-speed clip, is listed as skipped with the reason.

Pick the passes

• Silence & pauses: gaps longer than Cut pauses longer than, with 50 ms of breathing room kept on each side.
• Fillers: um, uh, like, you know, and their equivalents. The Language picker (Auto, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, or Hindi) chooses which filler list applies; Auto checks every list. A filler that is also an ordinary word, such as "like" or "tipo", is marked check and starts unticked, because "I like it" needs its "like".
• Stumbles: a word said twice in a row. The first try goes.
• Retakes (AI): the same sentence said more than once. Klipeo keeps the take that is complete and clean; when the takes are equal it keeps the last one.
• Tangents & restarts (AI): side stories, "is this recording?", and false starts.
• Dead air (AI, off by default): stretches where nothing new is said and nobody responds, for podcasts and interviews.

The three AI passes read the transcript, never the picture or audio, so every range they propose is anchored to real word timings. Tell them What is this video about? so they can tell a tangent from the point. These passes use credits. Pauses, fillers, and stumbles need only the transcript.

Analyse, then review

Press Analyse. Each file is transcribed once, with a timing for every word, and the transcript is reused afterwards, so running again with different passes is quick and free. That first transcription uses credits (5 per minute of the file, at least 25). A transcript made when you uploaded the file has no word timings, so that file is transcribed once more on its first analysis. While a plan is under review, every proposed range is drawn over the timeline: solid for cuts that will apply, faint for ones you have kept.

Proposed cuts groups the rows by pass. Each row has a checkbox, the range, the reason, the words it covers, and a play button that seeks the preview half a second before the cut. A row marked check is one the planner is unsure about, and starts unticked. Cut all and Keep all switch a whole group.

Transcript shows the same plan as tappable words. Words inside an accepted cut are struck through. Tap a kept word to mark it; tap a struck-through word to keep it (that rejects the proposal it belongs to).

Apply

Apply N cuts removes every accepted range as one edit across every track, so one Cmd/Ctrl+Z (or the Undo button in the panel) puts it all back. After an apply the plan clears, because everything after the first cut has moved; press Analyse again for another pass.
