All in one Video Editor Suite.
KeyCut is a native macOS video editor built for speed. Keyframe anything, composite in 3D, generate AI visuals, record your voice, export in any format — everything you need to take a project from raw footage to final cut, in a simple and intuitive interface build for speed.
Craft motion.
Command depth.
Three powerful tools that transform how you work with motion, space and cinematic depth — all inside one editor.
Every motion, exactly as you imagined it.
Set keyframes on any property — position, scale, opacity, rotation, blur and more. KeyCut interpolates between them with frame-perfect precision, giving your layers life without writing a single line of code.
- Animate position, scale, opacity & rotation
- Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease In Out & Spring curves
- Copy, paste & delete keyframes across layers
- Jump to prev / next keyframe with keyboard shortcuts
Rotate, tilt and fly through three dimensions.
Every canvas layer lives in a true 3D space. Rotate on X, Y and Z axes independently, set your scene perspective and position layers at any depth — KeyCut handles the maths via hardware-accelerated CATransform3D under the hood.
- Independent X, Y & Z rotation per layer
- Adjustable perspective field for dramatic depth
- Z-depth positioning for layered 3D scenes
- Fully animatable via keyframes
Cinematic focus. Right inside your edit.
Simulate a real camera lens — set a focal Z-plane, dial in blur strength and define the focus range. Layers outside the focus zone fall off naturally, giving your scene the shallow depth-of-field look that used to require post-production compositing software.
- Per-scene or per-keyframe DoF control
- Focal Z, blur strength & focus range sliders
- Smooth bokeh fall-off across depth layers
- Animatable for focus-pull effects
Voiceovers recorded right in your edit.
No round-tripping to a DAW. Record voiceover directly in KeyCut, preview it against your cut in real time, and trim it frame-accurately in the timeline. Your voice is part of the edit from the start.
- In-app studio-grade recording
- Preview against video in real time
- Direct placement on audio track
Design your frame.
Pixel by pixel.
The built-in canvas gives you full compositing control over every frame. Layer titles, overlays, graphics and effects with a drag-and-drop interface that feels as natural as it looks powerful.
- Drag & drop compositing layers
- Custom title & text overlays
- Real-time canvas preview
- Precision properties panel for every element
Render fast.
Deliver faster.
KeyCut's export engine is built for speed. Hardware-accelerated encoding on Apple Silicon pushes renders to the limit, so you spend less time waiting and more time creating.
Capture everything.
Record directly inside KeyCut — no extra software needed. Capture your full screen, your webcam, or both together as a picture-in-picture layer, and it lands straight on your timeline, already in sync and ready to edit.
- Full-screen or window capture in one click
- Standalone webcam recording for talking-head footage
- Screen & webcam captured together, webcam auto-layered as PiP
- Recordings drop straight onto the timeline, already in sync
Generate. Edit.
Compose. Ship.
The full Google AI stack — image generation, video synthesis, music composition and TTS voices — plus on-device transcription, all wired directly into your timeline.
Text to image. Three models.
Nano Banana, Nano Banana 2, and Pro — up to 2K output, 9 aspect ratios, drops directly onto the canvas.
Edit images with natural language.
Send any canvas image to Nano Banana with an instruction. Multi-reference editing blends multiple source images into one new output.
Cinematic clips on demand.
Veo 3.1 Lite, Fast or Pro. Choose 4s – 8s, up to 4K, 16:9 or 9:16. The clip auto-drops into your timeline.
Original music scored for your cut.
Describe mood, tempo and genre. Lyria 3 generates a 30-second clip or full song, royalty-free, ready for the audio track.
30+ studio voices, zero mic needed.
Zephyr, Puck, Aoede, Fenrir and 26 more — each with a distinct character. Audio lands on the timeline instantly.
Accurate captions. Zero typing.
On-device transcription — offline on compatible Macs. Full style control in the properties panel and SRT or burned-in export.
Build once.
Use everywhere.
Design a title card, lower-third, animated overlay or full layer group — then save it as a Preset. Reuse it across every project you open.
Select any layer or group
Select a single layer, a multi-layer selection, or a named layer group in the timeline. Anything that can live on the canvas can become a Preset.
Save with one tap
Hit Save as Preset in the Transport Bar. Name it, and KeyCut snapshots the layer data — including every keyframe, animation and style property — along with a JPEG thumbnail.
Drop into any project instantly
Open your Presets library from any project. Your saved components are sorted by recency, searchable by name and drop onto the timeline at the current playhead position, fully animated and ready to go.
From idea to publish
in three steps.
Import your footage, craft your edit with AI-powered tools, then export in any format at up to 8K — in minutes, not hours.
Import & Record
Drop in your existing footage, record your screen, webcam, or voice directly in KeyCut. Everything lands on the timeline instantly.
Edit & Enhance
Cut, trim and layer on the multi-track timeline. Add AI-generated subtitles via on-device transcription, apply cinematic LUT colour grades, design your canvas and let Gemini AI assist with smart suggestions.
Export & Publish
Render at up to 8K in your chosen format, optimised for YouTube, social media, broadcast or archiving — all powered by Apple Silicon hardware acceleration.
Video editing should feel like thinking. Fast, fluid and completely in your control. That is KeyCut.
