precut beta

your footage never leaves your mac.
for people with a side project and no spare hours.
sidething is the ai accelerator for ambitious people with a business on the side. the limits are always the same: time, growth, content and money. we make tools that give those back.
content is how a side project grows, and editing is where the hours go. the folder sits untouched, or an editor costs more than the post will earn.
precut gives you the edit. the footage you already have starts working for you again.
“i couldn't find an editor, so i made one. i built vs code for video editing, and it works.”
questions
before you join
the short answers.
isn't this going to burn through my tokens?
no. the heavy work (watching, listening, sorting) runs on your mac with built-in tools. your ai only reads text and a few small frames, never the footage itself.
do i have to upload my footage?
no. it never leaves your mac.
what do i need?
a mac and a claude code, codex or muse subscription.
can i finish in my favourite editor?
that's the plan: take your edit to davinci resolve, final cut or whatever you like, or finish it in precut. it's the least tested part of the beta, so this is where testers help most.
why isn't it on windows?
we made it on a mac first, because that's where we film and edit. if you need windows, tell us when you join the waitlist.
when can i try it?
it's in beta. join the waitlist and we'll reach out when we need testers. sidething members get first pick.
