Best jump cut apps
Answer in brief
A jump cut video is just a talking video with the silences removed. Timebolt and AutoCut do that on a computer for any length of footage, and Timebolt sells a lifetime licence. On a phone, SlapCut cuts as you film and ClipEasy, coming soon to iOS and Android, cuts the silences, filler and retakes after the take and adds captions.
ClipEasy is made by us, Socialynx Media Inc., and is not released yet. We say so wherever it appears on this page. Every other tool was assessed from its own website and pricing page on the reviewed date; none of them paid to be here and none of the links are affiliate links.
