Enough to judge for yourself before paying.
Design the layout once.
After that, you only fill it in.
QuickCut is a slot-based video editor. You draw a frame — a facecam here, the gameplay there, a title at the bottom — then drop different files into it for each edit. The tenth video in a series costs you the time it takes to pick the footage.
Windows · One-time payment, no subscription · Rendered on your machine
One slot, one file
This is the only idea to remember. Two zones that share a slot name ask you for one file only at render time, even when they appear in two places in the video.
1 · The frame
You name the zones once and for all: facecam, gameplay, title.
2 · The files
- facecam
→ webcam_ep12.mp4 - gameplay
→ replay_ep12.mp4 - title
→ “The impossible play”
QuickCut asks for one file per slot. Not one per zone.
3 · The render
Encoding happens on your machine, with hardware acceleration when your graphics card allows it.
Episode 13: the same slots, different files. The frame never moves again.
The editor
A canvas, handles, a magnet in the middle. Two modes: Simple shows the essentials, Advanced opens up opacity, rotation, outlines, blur, rounded corners, sequences and the grid.

What QuickCut does not do
Better said before the purchase than after. A refund costs more than a sale that never happens.
Windows only
No macOS or Linux version so far.
It is not free-form editing
No multitrack timeline like Premiere. QuickCut serves the repetition of one frame, not the bespoke editing of a one-off piece.
No effects, no colour grading
Trimming, layout, text, outlines, blur, fades. Nothing more.
Internet once, and only once
To activate your key. After that QuickCut works offline, and your files never leave your machine.
Two computers, forever
A licence activates on two computers and binds to them permanently. No release is possible — not from the software, not on request. A third machine means buying another licence. Reinstalling Windows counts as a new machine.
Questions
How many computers can I install it on?
Two, and those two activations are permanent. An activated computer cannot be released: there is no button, no procedure and no request that frees a slot. So choose your two machines carefully. Beyond that, you need to buy another licence. Note that reinstalling Windows changes the machine fingerprint, which uses up an activation.
What happens to my licence if I lose internet access?
Nothing. Activation needs a connection once. After that QuickCut checks its licence locally and keeps working offline.
Are my videos sent anywhere?
No. Encoding happens on your machine with a bundled FFmpeg. No file ever passes through a server.
Can I share my templates?
Yes. A template exports as a .qct file, a single sequence as .qcs. Both import back into QuickCut.
Is there a watermark on the free version?
No. Free exports are clean; they are only capped at 1080p and 30 frames per second.
