Your story.
Cut and ready. — the AI vlog editor for Mac that turns a day of footage into a finished, captioned vlog automatically.

Any video you shoot on your iPhone, DSLR, or action cam. The best results come from a mix of talking-to-camera a-roll and b-roll of what's happening around you — but even a-roll only works fine.

No. Even a handful of b-roll clips makes a big difference. Slice will use what you have and fill the rest with your a-roll. The more variety you give it, the better the cuts — but it works with whatever you filmed.

Clips under 2 seconds are skipped automatically. For a-roll, 30 seconds to a few minutes is ideal. For b-roll, 5–15 seconds per shot gives the best material to cut with.

Video: MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV, MTS, M2TS, and WEBM. You can also drop in photos (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WEBP) — they become smooth Ken Burns b-roll. If your camera shot it, it almost certainly works.

Not yet — Slice of Life is Mac only for now (Apple Silicon, macOS 13+). Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment a Windows version is ready.

Yes. Captions are off by default — flip the toggle in the configure screen to burn them directly into the video so they show on every platform without uploading a separate file. When captions are on, an SRT sidecar also exports alongside, so you can upload it to YouTube or use it in your editor.

The app scores every clip for quality — brightness, sharpness, and clarity of speech. Clips that are too dark, blurry, or very short get filtered automatically. Before it builds, the review screen lets you add any clip back, reorder, drop, or rotate clips — and re-render the same footage later and your changes are remembered.

Your video files never leave your Mac. Transcription and video assembly run entirely on your device. A small number of image frames (not your full video) are sent to Anthropic's AI for clip analysis and b-roll matching — the same way a photo editing app might send a thumbnail for analysis. Frames are not stored or used for training.

A typical daily vlog renders in 3–8 minutes on Apple Silicon. 4K is slower than 1080p. Re-edits skip the AI analysis step so they're faster, but still take a few minutes to encode.

Yes — the done screen's Export XML button offers Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve, each with its own import steps. A-roll and b-roll land on separate tracks, all source clips referenced. Open it, refine it, done.

Yes. The re-edit panel on the results screen lets you change pacing, caption style, or orientation and re-render without waiting for the AI to re-analyze your footage. The encode still takes a few minutes but the slow analysis step is skipped.

Nothing right now. Slice of Life is in early access and free to download and use, with every feature unlocked — no credit card, no trial countdown. In exchange, we'd love to hear what you think: what worked, what broke, what you wish it did.

Credits cover the cost of AI processing — analyzing your clips, matching b-roll, and building the edit. Most daily vlogs cost 1–2 credits (up to 5 for very large footage batches). Early access accounts come with a batch of credits included — if you run low while you're actively using the app, just email us and we'll top you up.
