CUT7 is a video editor for creators: a clear timeline, animated titles, music that ducks on its own under the voice, one-click colour looks and export presets for every network. No subscription, no account, no cloud. It all happens on your Mac.
Neither a monster nor a toy: four video tracks, three audio tracks, titles that move, sound that takes care of itself, and an export that matches the preview, frame for frame.
Drag videos, photos and music from the library. Move, trim, cut, close the gap, snap to cuts and to the playhead, unlimited undo. Fades, speed from 0.25× to 4×, rotation, mirror.
Twelve ready-made titles: big title, lower third, banner, typewriter, chapter, quote, end card… Twelve in and out animations, every font, outline, shadow, background, free position, and SRT subtitle import.
Automatic ducking: the music drops the moment someone speaks, with a gentle attack and release. Voice-over recorded from the mic during playback, speech normalised, fades and per-clip volume.
Sixteen looks with an intensity slider: Warm, Cool, Film, Teal & Orange, Cinema, Mono… Then exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, vignette, grain. Automatic white balance, grade copied from one clip to another.
16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, switchable at any time. Subject tracking detects faces and salient objects and keeps them in frame when the vertical format crops the image.
YouTube 1080p and 4K presets, TikTok / Reels 9:16, Instagram square, Story 4:5, ProRes master. H.264, HEVC or ProRes, from 24 to 60 fps. Share to Messages, Mail, AirDrop or Photos right after export.
Pick a look, dial it in with the intensity slider, and adjust whatever you like in the Colour section. The monitor shows exactly what the export will produce.
No account, no setup: a folder of footage is all it takes.
File › Import (⌘I) or drag videos, photos and music from the Finder into the library.
Double-click a media item to add it to the timeline, cut, add a title, let the music duck under the voice.
Pick a preset — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram — and share directly. The vertical format follows the subject automatically.
New versions are distributed through the Mac App Store.

CUT7 runs on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on a Metal-capable Mac, Apple Silicon or Intel.
Anything macOS reads: H.264, HEVC, ProRes videos, JPEG, PNG and HEIC photos, AAC, MP3, WAV or AIFF music and voice. Phone videos are oriented automatically.
Click “Locate” in the banner and point to the new location: the project remembers the files and finds them again on the next launch. Projects are packages you can copy from one Mac to another with their media.
On the first ⌘R, macOS asks for microphone permission. If you declined it, grant it in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone, then start recording again.
Yes, frame for frame: the same engine renders the monitor and the exported file. Pick a preset, or set codec, quality, frame rate and format yourself.
No. CUT7 has no network connection, no account, no cloud. The microphone is used only for the local voice-over recording. See the privacy policy.
