Cut Video A Claude Code skill that tightens long-form recordings — removes silences, ums, fillers, and dead air while preserving laughs and comedic pauses. More accurate than cutting from Whisper alone. Cuts are driven by Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA) word boundaries (10–20ms precision, with true inter-word silences as explicit intervals) rather than Whisper timestamps (±100–300ms, with pauses embedded inside word durations). Whisper is used only to produce the transcript text; MFA aligns it to the audio. The result: tighter cuts, no clipped word onsets/tails, and reliable silence detection. Point it at any video file and it will: Make a proxy — transcodes HEVC/4K → 1080p H.264 with hardware decode so every subsequent step runs in seconds, not minutes. Transcribe with Whisper — , for the transcript text only. Force-align with MFA — snaps the transcript to the audio at 10–20ms precision; this is the timing engine for every cut. Plan the cuts — applies a tone-aware silence heuristic (aggressive / balanced / sentimental / documentary), strips fillers, drops false starts and retakes. Shows you the plan before touching the video.
