What is Recut?

Recut is a video editing tool built for social media creators who need to edit footage quickly without technical experience. It lets you trim videos, add music tracks, insert text overlays, and include graphics, then export content optimised for different platforms. The tool sits between simple cut-and-paste editors and professional software; it's designed to handle the common tasks of social media video production without overwhelming you with options. The freemium model means you can start editing without paying upfront, though advanced features or higher export quality may require a subscription.
