You do not need a new video editor. You need the first 90% done.
Long recordings should not become a multi-day rough-cut grind. The job is simple: pull the best bits, remove dead space, and hand you a timeline you can finish in the tool you already trust.

The exact workflow creators asked forno new editor required
- Drop in one long recording and start instantly. Swiftcut is built for creator-style sessions where the source file is big but the final cut is short.
- Get the full transcript and timing alignment first, so every cut decision has context and can be revised quickly without scrubbing blindly.
- Tell Swiftcut the goal of the video and what to keep. It removes dead space, keeps key sections, and can push back if your requested duration is unrealistic.
- Review the selected moments, trim or extend beats, and tweak the rough cut fast without switching apps before handoff.
- Download DaVinci-ready XML and continue polishing in the timeline you already use. Swiftcut handles the heavy first pass, you keep full creative control.
