You're not editing, yet.
You're drowning in clips.

Every shoot ends the same way. 200+ clips dumped into a folder. Every thumbnail looks identical. You open each one in QuickTime, scrub to the middle, close it. Repeat. For hours. The edit hasn't even started and you're already exhausted.

200+ identical thumbnails

Finder shows you the first frame. For every clip. They all look the same. Good luck finding that one perfect reaction shot.

Hours before you edit

Open, scrub, close. Open, scrub, close. You spend more time triaging footage than actually cutting the video together.

Half the footage is junk

Bad takes. Shaky shots. Lens caps. But you don't know which ones until you've painfully watched every single clip.

Features

Built for the part of
video work nobody talks about.

Hover to scrub

Move your mouse across any thumbnail to scrub through the entire clip. No clicking. No waiting. No QuickTime. Just pure, instant previews.

Keyboard-first rating

Hit a number. Move on. Your hands never leave the keyboard.

Arrow keys to navigate. Numbers to rate.

Smart audio triage

RushCut analyzes audio loudness to surface the moments that matter — dialogue, reactions, action — and auto-tags them.

Quiet

Loud peaks auto-tagged

Loud

Tags, filters, hide the junk

Create custom tags. Apply them in bulk with audio triage. Filter your grid down to exactly what you need. One toggle to hide every clip you haven't touched.

How it works

Four steps. That's it.

Drop a folder

Point RushCut at your footage folder. It scans every video file and generates thumbnails instantly.

Scrub & rate

Hover to preview any clip. Hit 1-5 to rate. Arrow keys to navigate. Hundreds of clips in minutes.

Tag & triage

Run audio analysis to auto-tag clips. Add your own tags. Rename the keepers. Filter out the junk.

Export & edit

Export your organized clips — only the good stuff — ready for Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, or whatever you use.

Native

SwiftUI from top to bottom. Fast, lightweight, uses zero background resources. No Electron. No web views. A real Mac app.

Instant

Thumbnails generate in seconds. Hover-scrub is realtime. No progress bars, no "processing". It just works.

Undoable

Every single action — rate, tag, rename — is fully undoable. Cmd+Z like you'd expect from any native Mac app.

Yours

One-time purchase. No account. No telemetry. No cloud. Your footage stays on your machine. Period.

Pricing

No subscription. No tricks.

Pay once. Own it forever. Like software used to work.
