Bitcut

Bitcut is an AI video editing app for iPhone and iPad that automatically turns long videos—such as podcasts, stream replays, lectures, or vlogs—into vertical short-form clips ready for social media.

Key capabilities

• AI clip extraction & scoring: Automatically identifies highlights, scores them by quality with reasons (e.g., strong hook, storytelling, powerful ending), and supports filtering by duration.
• Auto reframing: Converts 16:9 landscape videos to 9:16 vertical format, using face tracking to keep the speaker in frame. Available on the Pro plan.
• Word-level captions: Auto-generates speech-synced captions with multiple styles; text and colors can be edited manually.
• Beat-sync editing: After adding music, cuts automatically snap to the beat. Available on all plans.
• Stream highlight processing: Paste a Twitch or YouTube link to process up to 5 hours of stream footage, generating chaptered 16:9 highlight reels and vertical Shorts with layouts like split screen and camera bubble.
