Drop in your photos and videos, pick a track, and Cutwave does the editing. It listens to the music, finds the tempo and the exact position of the first beat, then places every single cut on the beat. No timeline to learn. No keyframes to drag. WHY IT LOOKS EDITED, NOT ASSEMBLED Most automatic editors cut at a fixed interval and call it a day. Cutwave works like a real editor: • Every cut lands on a beat — and the transition is centred on the cut, so the change is felt exactly when the music hits. • Shot lengths breathe. A montage where every shot lasts the same time sounds like a metronome; Cutwave phrases them. • Ten editing moods, each with its own grammar of camera moves — Punch cuts hard on every beat, Flow drifts across four, Memory barely moves at all. • Twenty transitions, from the classic dissolve and dip to black to tile flips, page curls, iris and glitch — each one timed in fractions of a beat, not milliseconds. • Your best shots get more screen time. On-device image analysis scores each frame and gives the strong ones room. A REAL TITLE SEQUENCE Twenty cinema openers and endings, one pair per mood — and your title composed over them, line by line, one line per beat. The endings are built as credit beds: dark in the centre, detail at the edges, so your credits stay readable as they scroll. Ten typographic voices, one per mood. Cutwave even suggests the title from your own photos — "Krabi · July 2026" — and you can rewrite it with a tap. FIFTY TRACKS, TEN MOODS Fifty instrumental tracks, grouped in ten categories that map one-to-one onto the editing moods: choose the music and the right mood comes with it. Or bring your own track — Cutwave analyses it just the same, and it stays in your own My Music shelf for every future edit. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos are the raw material of the edit, so they never leave your iPhone. Beat detection, image analysis and rendering all happen on your device. There is no account, no server, no advertising and no third-party tracking. Cutwave works with no network connection at all.
