A text-based video editor lets you edit a video by editing its transcript instead of dragging clips on a timeline. WordCut is a free one that runs in your browser: delete a word from the transcript and the matching moment is cut from the video.
It's the fastest way to edit talking-head videos, tutorials, interviews and podcasts — because reading and deleting text is far quicker than scrubbing a waveform.
Go to WordCut and drop in your MP4, MOV or WebM — or pick a file. Nothing installs, and your video stays in your browser.
WordCut creates a word-level transcript with accurate timestamps, so every word maps to an exact moment in the video.
Click a word to seek to it; select a phrase and press delete to cut it. Removed text greys out and the sequence closes up instantly.
Preview the tightened cut, then export a new MP4 directly in your browser. The export is frame-accurate and your original file is never changed.
No account, no download — your video stays in your browser.
