Cut Video Gaps Changelog and Release Notes

Follow all updates, performance enhancements, and new export features across Cut Video Gaps desktop releases.

v1.1.0Latest Public Beta

Try Cut Video Gaps before you sign in, choose between AI Auto-Cut and Fast Cut for every file, and fine-tune long videos on a sharp, Final Cut-style timeline.

Key Changes & Improvements

  • Try the app without an account: open, cut and review any video. You sign in only when you export, and the export then continues by itself.
  • Choose AI Auto-Cut or Fast Cut after opening a file. Each option shows what it finds and how long it takes for your video, and the app can remember your choice.
  • New timeline zoom, like Final Cut: ⌘+ / ⌘−, pinch, or ⇧Z to fit. It zooms around the playhead or your mouse, down to about 2 seconds on any video length, and the waveform stays sharp.
  • Cut edges snap to whole frames when you drag them.
  • Smarter bad-take detection: spoken restarts ("wait…", "let me restart") and chatter at the start or end of a recording are found too.
  • The silence threshold adapts to each recording's room tone, sliders update the cuts instantly, and undo restores your slider settings.
  • Audio-only files: fast lossless export for MP3, AAC and Opus, and WAV, AIFF and FLAC keep their original bit depth.
  • Fixed: long videos with hundreds of cuts no longer blank parts of the window.
  • Fixed: the Export As and language menus are no longer cut off in the sidebar.
  • Security and stability improvements.

v1.0.9

Speech-aware bad-take detection, labelled cut types, Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu bad-take support, and Premiere Pro and After Effects exports.

Key Changes & Improvements

  • Speech-aware bad takes: clear restarts are cut automatically, keeping your last good take. Uncertain ones appear as suggestions you can click to cut.
  • Repeated words ("I I think", stutters) and filler words are cut. Stray words before the real start or after the end (like a trailing "Okay.") are suggested for removal.
  • Every cut is labelled and colour-coded by type (silence, filler, repeat, bad take, stray words), with one-click keep or cut all of a type and time saved per type. The selected cut shows the exact words being removed.
  • Silence cuts never clip a spoken word, thanks to word-level protection.
  • Bad-take detection for Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu, plus a warning with one-click re-run when the selected language doesn't match the speech.
  • New editor exports: a Premiere Pro XML project (File › Import) and an After Effects .jsx script that builds a composition, alongside Final Cut Pro XML. All three point at your original media: no re-encode, frame-accurate, source timecode kept.
  • Playback now pauses when analysis or export starts, and a Back to editing button appears after export.
  • Redesigned Preferences.
  • Native Apple Silicon FFprobe, so Rosetta is no longer needed.
  • Smaller download with a new installer, and the Whisper model is bundled so AI Auto Cut works offline.

v1.0.8

Export polish and stability update. Final Cut Pro XML exports now bring audio in as stereo.

Key Changes & Improvements

  • Final Cut Pro XML (FCPXML) export: audio now imports as stereo instead of mono.
  • Stability and reliability refinements building on the 1.0.7 export and AI Auto Cut improvements.

v1.0.7

Smarter AI cuts, a redesigned sidebar, more reliable exports, and Invite & Earn bonus hours for beta testers.

Key Changes & Improvements

  • More accurate AI Auto Cut: speech-aware cuts are now checked against real silence, so fewer words get clipped.
  • More reliable exports with a Cancel button and clearer error messages.
  • Redesigned sidebar with every control visible and no scrolling.
  • Invite & Earn: earn bonus processing hours for feedback and for friends who join and finish their first export.
  • Silent background updates and a Report a Problem option in the Help menu.

v1.0.6

Public beta release featuring speech-aware gap detection on Mac, multi-core Whisper transcription, and non-destructive Final Cut Pro XML export.

Key Changes & Improvements

  • Automatic language identification with confirmed testing for English, Hindi, and Punjabi footage.
  • Interactive timeline editor to review, adjust padding, and delete individual detected cuts.
  • Instant Final Cut Pro XML (FCPXML) export for non-destructive rough cuts.
  • Direct rendered MP4 export with local FFmpeg hardware acceleration.
  • Universal Mac architecture supporting Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs on macOS 13+.
