    About

    PaperCut Pro is a browser-based, text-driven rough cut editor for language-heavy content such as interviews, monologues, and dialogue.

    Import transcribed footage (media + SRT/VTT/ITT, or FCPXML with captions). Edit directly on the text — copy, cut, paste, and rearrange like a document, with media staying in sync for preview. Export timelines as FCPXML for finishing in Final Cut Pro.

    Projects can be shared for collaboration — structure can be shaped in text and returned as a timeline foundation, without rebuilding from scratch.

    Built as a side project to address a long-standing pain point in FCP documentary workflows.

    Free and fully local (runs in the browser, no uploads). Google Chrome recommended.
