The launch film

Ten days in Vietnam, one saved reel, and no evening to copy it. Then Taalcut.

Too many clips to pick from

1,284 clips

The shot you need is in your camera roll somewhere. Scrolling for it takes longer than the reel lasts.

  • Taalcut indexes your clips on your computer.
  • Each slot of the reel says what it needs.
  • The AI picks a clip for each one and shows how sure it is.

The reel you saved and never made

You saved it to make one like it. Copying its cuts and timing by hand takes an evening you don’t have, so it stays saved.

Paste it into Taalcut and it becomes a template you can fill with your clips.

Questions

Which reels can it read?

Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok links, or a video file you drop in, including a screen recording. On Ubuntu, pasting a reel link isn’t there yet: drop the reel in as a file. Taalcut finds the cuts and music beats, the on-screen text and when it shows, transitions, speed ramps and the pacing. Before it’s used, you can fix a cut, the tempo, or whether something is text.

Do I have to edit anything?

No. The agent makes the video and checks it against the reel before you see it. You approve once. If you want to change something, the timeline is there, and undo covers every edit, the agent’s included.

Does my footage leave my computer?

Indexing, search, text in video and music beats run on your computer, and your footage stays there. If you connect a cloud model, Taalcut asks before it first sends your files to it, and Settings › Privacy lists what leaves your computer. With Local only on, nothing of yours leaves your computer. Update checks still send the app’s version and a random ID.
