AutoCut Repeat is designed to help you clean your edit by detecting and removing repeated takes or unwanted segments in your audio automatically.
Watch our YouTube tutorial to get started :

Step 1 - Launch AutoCut Repeat & Define the audio section

Before running AutoCut Repeat, you need to define the audio section you want to analyze using AutoCut Repeat. You can choose between:

• Entire timeline
• In/Out points
• Selected clips

This helps the tool focus on the part of your timeline where the content actually matters.

Step 2 - Set the audio language + Reference Script

To improve transcription and repetition detection accuracy, choose the language spoken in your audio.

If you already have a script or outline, you can paste it into the 'Reference Script' field. This helps AutoCut Repeat:

• Match each sentence with your script
• Detect the best take when you record multiple versions
• Stay accurate even if you rephrase slightly while speaking

Reference Script Options

• Disabled (default)

AutoCut uses the standard repetition detection algorithm.

• Enabled

Import your script to improve matching accuracy and automatically select the best takes.

Step 3 - Repeat Settings

AutoCut Repeat offers four options to control how repetitions are handled:

• Remove non-selected parts (recommended)

Removes the selected repetitions and closes the gaps automatically.

• Cut but Keep everything

Cuts repetitions but keeps them in the timeline (useful for manual review).

• Mute non-selected parts

Mutes repetitions but keeps them in the timeline.

• Remove non-selected parts

Removes repetitions but keeps spacing in the timeline.

You can also add a margin before and after each kept segment. You can customize the margin duration to fit your editing style.

Step 4 - Review & Edit the repetition detection

AutoCut has detected repeated segments. Now it’s your turn to decide which parts to keep or remove.

How to edit the transcript:

• Use your mouse to highlight words or sentences.
• White text = Enabled → This part will be kept in the final cut.
• Red strikethrough text = Disabled → This part will be removed.

Transcript control options:

• T icon (preview mode): Only plays the audio of selected (enabled) phrases.
• Play button: Plays the full video.
• Playback speed: Watch your transcript at different speeds – x1, x1.2, x1.5, x1.7, or x2 – to go through it faster.

This step gives you full control over what gets cut before applying any changes.

Step 5 - Cut Sequence

Once you're happy with the selection, click "Cut sequence".
AutoCut Repeat will make the cuts for you, automatically removing repetitions based on your settings.
