What is the best jump cut planner?

The best jump cut plan removes only true dead air and filler while keeping natural pacing — that means cutting whole filler segments and long pauses, not chopping mid-word. This free tool does exactly that from a timestamped transcript with three aggressiveness levels.

How to plan jump cut?

Get a timestamped transcript of your footage, mark segments that are pure filler and pauses longer than about 2 seconds, then cut those ranges and close the gaps. This tool does the marking for you and warns if the plan would cut over 60% of your footage.

How does a jump cut planner work?

You give it a transcript with start and end times per segment. It cuts segments that are entirely filler words (text-pattern matching, not audio analysis) and trims pauses beyond an aggressiveness threshold, then returns keep and cut ranges plus the new estimated duration.

What is Jump cut planner?

Jump Cut Planner — Plan jump cuts from a timestamped transcript: pick aggressiveness to get keep/cut ranges, a new duration estimate, and safety warnings. Start planning now.

The tool performs pure timestamp arithmetic. A segment is cut whole only if its text is entirely filler words (light: um/uh/hmm; medium adds like/well/basically; tight adds phrases like "you know" and repeated words). Gaps between segments longer than the aggressiveness threshold (light 2000ms, medium 1200ms, tight 700ms) are cut down to a keep margin. New duration = total minus cuts. Filler detection is text-pattern matching only — the tool never hears audio, so always verify cuts by listening.

Good to know

Filler detection is text-pattern matching only — the tool cannot hear audio, so a segment labeled filler must be verified by listening before cutting.
The tool trusts your timestamps; wrong segment times produce a wrong plan. Export an accurate transcript first.
A plan cutting over 60% of footage is flagged, not applied — the tool never edits anything, it only produces the plan.
