CutBench 1.0 is out: I've been clipping my own gameplay with it for a month
CutBench 1.0 is live on Steam, and I want to be upfront about how it got here.
For the past month I've been running it on my own gameplay every day. Every clip on the CutBench YouTube and TikTok channels was cut, ranked, subtitled and scheduled by the app itself, straight from my own sessions. Those clips have picked up about 96,000 views on YouTube and another 7,200 on TikTok, which I only started recently, once the posting integration was ready. All of it with me barely touching an editor. That's the whole point: you're going to game anyway, CutBench turns that footage into a steady feed of Shorts.
How it works: drop a long session or Twitch VOD on it and you get back 10-15 vertical clips with burned-in subtitles, ranked by how likely each one is to perform. Everything runs on your own GPU: no cloud, no upload, your footage never leaves your PC.
What's in 1.0
- Ranked clips: every cut scored, best moments first
- Burned-in subtitles + 9:16 reframe
- Posting calendar: schedule straight to YouTube Shorts and TikTok
- One-time purchase. No subscription, no usage caps
If you try it on your own gameplay, I'd love to hear how it goes: leave a review or drop a note in the Discussions.

New to CutBench? It turns a long gameplay recording into ranked vertical clips with burned-in subtitles, on your own PC. Nothing is uploaded for processing, and it is bought once on Steam, with no subscription.
