Drop in the session
It works with your recorded VODs and mic tracks. LootCut lines up every track on one timeline. It runs on your machine, so nothing gets uploaded.
How it works
From a session
to a vertical draft.
LootCut's job is narrow on purpose: take a recorded stream and hand you the handful of moments worth posting, already labeled and cut — not a blank timeline.
The pipeline
Drop the session.
Get the moments.
It finds the peaks
Loudness, onsets, and the bright band of the mix. A long session is split into intro, gameplay, and post-game, and the list stays short.
You review at speed
K keep · X discard · [] trim · S split · U undo. Every keypress saves.
Session phases
Every session
has a shape.
- Intro
The lobby, before the match.
Shorter clips. The hook is the setup, not the payoff.
- Gameplay
The run itself.
Longer clips. The reaction needs room to land before the cut.
- Post-game
The debrief after.
Mid-length clips. This is where the funniest recaps usually live.
- Every mic loud
- Game audio burst
- Chat spike ×4.1
- Talk-only penalty
LOSSLESS · keyframe ±0.4s
Why this clip
No black box.
Every pick shows its receipts: which signals fired, how hard, and what got penalised. Wrong call? Hit W, give a reason, and the ranking learns from you.
Last step
Vertical drafts,
captioned.
Keep a clip and LootCut can re-cut it to 9:16, decode the audio locally, and burn in bold, word-by-word captions using your own names and game terms. Still a draft — you trim and approve before anything goes out.
- 01
Crop or fit
Center-crop for a tight frame, or a blurred-fit background that keeps the whole shot in view.
- 02
Captions, locally
Speech-to-text runs on your machine. Custom vocabulary keeps names and game terms spelled right.
Your footage
Where it goes.
Where it doesn't.
Where it goes
The in-browser preview stays in the tab. You pick a local file, and that file is not uploaded. Real clipping runs in the desktop app on your machine. We don't collect your footage or audio.
Retention
We don't keep a copy, because the site never receives one. There is no account library and no server archive today.
Deletion
Close the tab and the preview is gone. Delete the file on your computer and that copy is gone too. There is no LootCut copy to request back. Server-side storage is not built. If a later beta ever needs one, this page will say so before it exists.
