## What is KeyCut?

Turn your iPad into a colour-coded shortcut deck for video editing. Tap a button and it fires the real keystroke straight to your Mac — no combos to memorise, no extra hardware to buy.

KeyCut Live puts every key command you actually use one tap away, labelled in plain English and grouped by what it does. Trim, ripple, blade, mark in and out, switch tools — they're all there, no hunting for three-finger combos mid-edit.

WORKS WITH YOUR EDITOR
Built for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. Switch editor and the whole layout switches with it, so the shortcuts always match the app you're in.

SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE
Download the free KeyCut Helper for your Mac, pair over your local Wi-Fi, and start editing. Your iPad and Mac talk directly — nothing leaves your network. No account, no cloud, no sign-in.

WHY EDITORS LIKE IT
— Every shortcut visible at a glance. No cheat sheets taped to the monitor.
— Tap to fire, or pick up the keys as you go — the real keystroke shows on every button.
— One iPad, three editors. Switch in a tap.
— No Stream Deck, no extra gear. It's the control surface you already have.

Free to download and try. A one-time unlock gets you KeyCut Live for good, with a monthly option if you'd rather.

The control surface you already have.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.7 — 2026-07-02

Now works with three editors — Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The layout switches automatically when you change editor, so your shortcuts always match the app you're in. Plus a smoother first-run setup and faster pairing with your Mac.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-04

Smoother setup after you unlock KeyCut Live — clearer steps to get you pairing and editing faster.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-28

KeyCut now speaks three editors.

• Premiere Pro support — full colour-coded shortcut layouts, sent straight to your Mac.
• DaVinci Resolve support — including the edit-page shortcuts you actually use.
• Switch apps on your Mac, KeyCut follows.

Plus the usual round of polish and fixes. Thanks for editing with us.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-22

KeyCut now automatically detects when Final Cut Pro is active — shortcut descriptions fade when you leave FCP and return the moment you're back. Accessibility settings now link directly to iOS for VoiceOver and display options.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-12

A polish release.

- Accessibility — VoiceOver support across the shortcut grid, plus High Contrast mode in Settings for low-vision editors.
- Smoother onboarding — a clearer first-run walkthrough for pairing with the Mac Helper.
- Easier feedback — leave a review or send a note directly from inside the app.
- Visual and performance tweaks across the grid.

Thanks for trying KeyCut. Keep the feedback coming.
