# Best jump cut apps

> 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.

Reviewed 8 November 2026. Prices from each app's own pricing page on that date. 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.

## How we chose

- Removes silence automatically, with a threshold you can adjust or review
- Handles long files without crashing
- Exports to your editor or finishes the video itself

We read each tool's own website, pricing page and app store listing on the reviewed date and tested the free tiers where there was one. We did not run a timed head-to-head, so treat the order as a fit ranking for the use in the title, not a measured benchmark.
