Why not Opus Clip,
Eklipse, or Submagic?

They’re cloud subscriptions. Your footage goes up and your monthly bill stays up. CutBench is local, one-time, and private. Compare the axes that actually matter for a gamer.

SubscriptionNeverMonthlyMonthlyMonthly

Competitor pricing checked on their own pages on 14 August 2026: Opus Clip Starter $15/mo, monthly only. Eklipse publishes no price and shows it at checkout, and its free clipping tier ended in June 2026. Submagic Starter $12 per member per month billed yearly, with long-video clipping sold as a separate add-on. Prices move, so check before you buy. "Not verified" means we could not confirm it on the vendor’s own page, so we left it rather than guess.

02 · Capabilities

Built for creators
who play.

If it doesn't cut edit time, fix clip sameness, or get you to post faster, it didn't make the build.

Payoff-First Ranking
Doesn’t stop at the loud part. It checks whether the loud part turns into a clutch, a throw, a reversal, or a punchline.
Fine-Tuned for Rust + ARC Raiders
Tuned on real Rust raids and ARC Raiders extractions, so it knows what those two look like when something is going right. Every other game runs on the same engine with nothing game-specific switched on. More games on the roadmap.
Stream Densifier
Drop a 3-hour session. Get back the 8 minutes with actual posting potential. Dead air goes out first.
100% Offline
Runs entirely on your machine. No cloud, no API keys, no subscriptions, no data leaving your PC.
Smart Subtitles
5 built-in styles: Clean, Bold, Punch, Tactical, Streamer. Burned into video or exported as SRT/VTT. Synced to speech.
Hook & Copy Generation
Titles, hooks, captions, and CTAs per clip. So when the cut is done, you’re not staring at the title box for 20 minutes.

06 · Frequently Asked

Straight
answers.

The ones we get most. Anything else → mail@cutbench.com.

Will CutBench become a subscription later?

No. Buy once, use it as long as you want. The free Demo watermarks exports; the full version removes the watermark.

Does it upload my footage anywhere?

No. Source files never leave your PC. The models ship inside the build, so nothing downloads on first run. Internet is used only if you click Publish.

Do I need a GPU? Which one?

NVIDIA only. 6 GB+ VRAM and CUDA required. AMD and Intel Arc are not supported. There is no CPU fallback: without a supported card the app will not run.

Does it run on macOS or Linux?

No. Windows 10/11 only. Mac and Linux ports are not on the roadmap. It needs an NVIDIA GPU and will not run without one.

How long does a 3-hour session take?

2 to 5 hours on an RTX 3060-class GPU. Overnight batch: drop a session before bed, review clips in the morning.

How much disk space does it need?

About 30 GB free SSD, the same figure as the Steam listing. The models ship inside the build, so nothing large downloads on first run.

Can it publish to TikTok and YouTube directly?

YouTube Shorts, yes: one click, scheduled, via the official Data API. TikTok goes to your drafts through the official Content Posting API, and you post it from the TikTok app. Both builds.

What’s the refund policy?

Steam handles it: request a refund through Steam within 14 days of purchase and under 2 hours of use. Run the free Demo first to check your machine.

What does CutBench not do?

Not real-time. Not a manual editor (you approve, not arrange). Not a voice changer / avatar / FX pack. Not on AMD or Intel Arc. Not on Mac or Linux.

What happens if I lose my licence?

There is no licence file to lose. The build is tied to your Steam account, so reinstalling from your Steam library restores it.

07 · System Requirements

What
you need.

CutBench runs locally on your GPU. No cloud fallback. If the hardware misses spec, the app will not bail you out.

01 · Minimum
Runs the bench
OSWin 10 / 11

Will it fit your card?
Peak while it works~2.6 GB
Still free on a 6 GB card~3.4 GB
Minimum card 6 GB
Peak stays under 3 GB, so it fits on every 6 GB+ card with room left for Windows. Nothing is uploaded - the work happens on your own GPU, and your footage never leaves the disk it is on.
