Every second of a short counts

In a sixty-second video there is no room for an um or a sentence started twice. Paraphrase transcribes your take, proposes the cut, and exports an MP4 with the picture and the sound cut at the same words.

Why Paraphrase?

The words are already a map of the recording. Editing them is faster than finding each one in a waveform.

Paraphrase

The whole take written out, so the slack is easy to see
One button proposes the filler and false starts to cut
MP4 export with the picture and the sound cut together
Free projects run to five minutes, long enough for a short
Cuts land between words, so nothing starts mid-syllable

Cutting on a timeline

Each pause and stumble found by playing it back
Cuts placed frame by frame against a waveform
Filler words removed by hand, one at a time
Tightening a clip means another pass through it
Trying a different cut means starting over

Built for short clips

When a minute is all you have, every second of it should count.

Video in, video out

Upload video and export the cut as MP4, with the picture and the sound cut at the same words.

Clean up with AI

One button reads the transcript and proposes the cut: filled pauses, false starts and the sentence you said twice. It shows you what it took, and you can put back any word it removed.

Cuts between words

Every cut lands between two words, so the clip never jumps into the middle of one.

Reorder by dragging

Drag a word to where it lands better, and its audio moves with it.

Paste a link

Bring in a video from a link instead of downloading it and uploading it again.

Change your mind for free

Re-editing costs nothing. The original recording is kept while it is in your account, so a different cut is always possible.

Record something and cut it
