Five tools. Less busywork.
Offcut makes the video editing and motion design workflow easier. Each tool takes one slow, repetitive job and does it for you, with the reasoning shown.
Effect Finder
Describe the look. Find the effect.
Describe the effect you are looking for, and relevant effects, plugins and presets appear instantly.
- Suggests compatible effects, plugins and presets
- Explains what each one does
- Provides settings or an apply action where supported
Error Assistant
Plain-English answers to cryptic errors.
Paste an error message or expression error, and the AI explains what is wrong, why it happened and how to fix it.
- Translates confusing error messages into plain English
- Suggests fixes for broken expressions and scripts
- Offers step-by-step troubleshooting
- Explains likely causes of missing effects, rendering problems and compatibility issues
Beat Marker
Let the music place your markers.
Analyse music and place markers on detected beats directly on the After Effects timeline.
Spend less time manually scrubbing through music to find the rhythm.
- Detects strong beats and musical transients
- Optionally identifies bars and phrase changes
- Subtle, medium or aggressive beat detection
- Generates marker patterns for shakes, flashes, cuts and transitions
Expression Builder
Say what you want. Get the expression.
Generate usable After Effects expressions from natural-language instructions, then see exactly how they work.
- Shows the generated code and explains its controls
- Validates expressions where possible
- Copy it, or apply it to the selected property
Performance Optimizer
Find the effect slowing you down.
AI scans your project, finds the effects and layers dragging down playback and rendering, and recommends how to fix them.
- Uses AI to pinpoint which effect is slowing the project down
- Ranks effects and layer setups by how much they cost each frame
- Suggests proxy workflows and preview-resolution changes
- Flags unnecessarily complex compositions
- Recommends optimisation steps before a final render
- Explains why a change may help, and lets you approve it before it is applied
Less is more. Come and see.
Releases, early looks and the roadmap all land in the Discord first.
