Who makes it

Built by editors. Not by a startup.

SOLD CUT comes from SOLD OUT MEDIA, Romania's top podcast production team. We did not start with an idea for an app. We started with a backlog.

Week after week, show after show, we sat through the same hours: syncing cameras, switching angles on every change of speaker, building split screens by hand, cutting reels, fixing subtitles. Over the years we wrote down every problem, every shortcut, every rule our best editors follow without thinking, and turned them into tools for our own studio.

Hundreds of episodes later, those tools became SOLD CUT. You are not buying a generic AI plugin. You are buying our workflow and our years of experience, packed into one app for DaVinci Resolve.

How it works

Four steps. Then coffee.

SOLD CUT drives DaVinci Resolve Studio the way an assistant editor would, through Resolve's own scripting. You keep every decision; it does the hours of clicking. In our studio an episode took 3–4 hours by hand; with SOLD CUT the same work took 25 minutes, more checking than clicking.

  1. 01 — Start

    Drop in the folder. You don’t even open Resolve.

    Open Import and point it at the folder with the camera cards and recorder files. SOLD CUT groups cameras and microphones, syncs everything by sound or timecode, starts DaVinci Resolve on its own and builds the project and the timeline. You only confirm who is who. Already have a synced timeline? Pick it and go.

    Sync by soundTimecodeMultitrack recorders
  2. 02 — Who is who

    Name the people. Match the cameras.

    Each person gets a microphone; each camera gets a person, the wide, a group shot or a split screen. Faces are found on your Mac and framed for vertical. Save it as a show preset and next week takes a second.

    2–10 peopleSplit screensShow presets
  3. 03 — Analyze

    See every cut before anything changes.

    The audio of every microphone decides who speaks, who interrupts and when to breathe on the wide. Pick a pace and see the whole cut as one coloured strip: move over it and the monitor shows that shot. Nothing is written to Resolve.

    Slow · Balanced · FastInterruptionsWide shot rules
  4. 04 — Cut to a copy

    A finished edit, next to your original.

    "EP29 AUTO" appears in your project. The chosen angle is on, every other angle stays underneath, disabled, so any shot is one click away. Zoom, punch-ins and grades carry over.

    Non-destructiveAll angles kept⌘ Return
After the cut

Everything a podcast needs after the edit.

The multicam cut is the start. The same app turns the episode into subtitles, titles and clips, each on its own copy, each in Resolve where you can still change everything.

Subtitles

Studio subtitles that read the room.

Transcription runs free on your Mac with Whisper large-v3, or in the cloud with SOLD CUT credits: every microphone of the episode, each voice named, 33 languages. An optional AI review reads the whole episode first, then fixes misheard words from context, the way a good editor does.

  • Short cues, about a second, two lines of 26 characters, timed word by word
  • A cue that starts a few frames from a camera cut starts on the cut
  • Your studio look copied from any timeline, or ours
  • Numbers as digits, reels translated, every AI change can be refused
  • Titles: ten for YouTube from the transcript, each scored 1 to 10, text only
SOLD CUT Subtitles screen with the transcript of an episode
React · Illustrations

The react layout, built for every clip.

While a reel plays, both close-ups sit either side of a phone, each followed by a Fusion composition that tracks the face, one keyframe a second. The reel's sound comes up; the room's screen audio goes down, exactly for that time.

  • Preview first: every illustration, what goes off, the face keys
  • Your own phone layout from two PNGs
  • Old timelines: illustrations found by their sound
Face framing

Every face, found and framed.

Apple Vision reads about 24 frames of each camera, on this Mac, and sets the vertical crop: face centred, eyes near the top third, zoom only when the face is small. It tells you when someone moves a lot.

Split screens

Splits, like you'd build them.

No two-shot camera? Each pair, everyone, or your own group, in side-by-side, stacked or grid layouts. Lines dragged by hand, cameras kept at their size, a compound clip per split, used whenever those people talk over each other.

Jump cuts

Tight, or just marked.

Choose the microphones, preview the quiet gaps, then build a tightened copy, or put a red marker on every gap and decide each cut yourself.

Quick clips

Any range, in any format.

A trailer, a quote, a teaser: type the times, pick 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 or 16:9. Each clip is rebuilt from the multicam cut, following whoever speaks, with the framing from Setup, then sent to Resolve's render queue.

  • One video per cut, subtitles burned in
  • Optional watermark, still or moving around the frame, and end card
Events · DJ sets · beta

A DJ set, cut to the music.

Choose Event / DJ in Import and the same app cuts a filmed set from the board feed instead of the voices. It finds the drops, changes cameras in whole bars at the set's tempo, builds a separate multicam copy with a marker on every drop you choose, and turns those markers into clips for social.

  • Camera roles: wide, booth, crowd, roaming, detail
  • The music is analyzed on your Mac, no credits
  • Only the filmed part of a long timeline, on its own copy
  • Moved or turned off a track in Resolve? It follows your timeline
  • Beta: the plan does not look at the picture yet, so watch every clip before posting
Safe by design

Your original is sacred.

Every step writes a new timeline next to the one before it. Nothing is overwritten, nothing is hidden, and a half-built copy is cleaned up if you stop.

Synced cameras and microphones. Read, never written.

Preview before every write

Analyze and Preview only read. The screen says which timeline it reads and which copy it will create, before you press anything.

Stop anytime

Cancel or quit mid-build and the unfinished copy is removed. The engine restarts on its own. You are never left with half an edit.

Verified, not assumed

After a build the app checks the copy it made. If something does not add up, it says so, with timecodes, instead of reporting success.

Private

Your footage stays home.

Everything heavy runs on your Mac: audio analysis, face detection, the edit, and transcription when you want it there. What goes online is text for the AI features and, with AI credits, the microphones' sound for cloud transcription (the page says so before it starts; one setting keeps it on your Mac). Your video never leaves.

Made for Mac

A real Mac app. Made like one.

SOLD CUT looks and behaves like the apps that came with your Mac: a sidebar with the pages, one blue button that always does the next step, light or dark with macOS, in your accent colour. Nothing new to learn.

DaVinci Resolve Studio has its own Multicam SmartSwitch. We ran it on the same episode, three ways, and measured every cut the same way.

The person talking is on screenepisode 29 · measured 1 October 2026
SOLD CUT from the raw folder · 4 s to analyze
93.5% 77% in their close-up
SmartSwitch microphones linked by hand · audio only, 1 min
87.2% 37% in their close-up
SmartSwitch microphones linked by hand · full analysis, 46 min
80.6% 69% in their close-up
SmartSwitch the cameras as they are · 46 min
72.3% 61% in their close-up

The camera was left on the person who is not talking 6.5% of the time with SOLD CUT, and 12.8%, 19.4% and 27.7% with SmartSwitch, in the order above. A new speaker appeared more than two seconds late never with SOLD CUT, and in 9%, 11% and 21% of the changes of speaker with SmartSwitch. Watch the same minute of both cuts, side by side.

How we measured: one episode of our own podcast, two hosts, five cameras, 78 minutes, of which 70 are measured (the time an illustration fills the screen is left out). DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.1, Multicam SmartSwitch at its default settings (the audio-only row uses its “Use Audio Only Fast Analysis” option), on the same Mac. Who is talking is read from each person’s microphone with one loudness rule, the same for every cut; these are the microphones SOLD CUT listens to, so the measure suits it. “Linked by hand” means each close-up camera was first given its person’s microphone as its sound, which SmartSwitch does not do by itself. When both talk at once, mostly short interjections, SOLD CUT stays on the person who has the floor and showed both people 25% of the time; SmartSwitch’s audio-only run showed both 62% of the time, because it stays on the wide shot for about half of the episode. It is one episode: yours will differ. The full comparison. DaVinci Resolve is a trademark of Blackmagic Design; we are not affiliated with them.

01

One payment, two Macs at once

€150 covers your studio Mac and your laptop at the same time, with every update including the next major version. No subscription to remember, no editing tool that stops working when a card expires.

02

You don’t even open Resolve

Give it the folder with the episode’s raw files. It syncs every camera and microphone, starts DaVinci Resolve by itself and builds the project, the tracks and the timeline. From camera cards to a first cut without touching Resolve.

03

The whole podcast, not just the cut

From raw camera cards to a synced project, the multicam edit, split screens, react layouts with the phone, studio subtitles, ten titles for YouTube, jump cuts and clips in any format. One app, one workflow.

04

Rules from real episodes

Pacing, interruptions, when to go wide, how long to hold a reaction: tuned on hundreds of our own episodes, not on a demo clip. Pick a pace and it cuts the way a good editor would.

05

Works offline. On a plane, on set, anywhere.

Many AI editing plugins need a connection to their servers to work. SOLD CUT does the heavy lifting on your Mac: the cut, transcription, face framing and every build in Resolve work without internet, and your footage never leaves the machine.

06

Your original stays untouched

Every step writes a new copy next to the one before it, with every camera angle kept. If you do not like a choice, the alternative is one click away in Resolve.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is there a free trial?

Yes: 3 days with every feature, on as many episodes as you like, and 100 AI credits to try the AI review and Titles. Download SOLD CUT, open it and type your e-mail under “Try SOLD CUT free for 3 days”; we send a 6-digit code. Transcription runs in the cloud while the credits pay for it, so there is no speech model to download first; past that, it runs on your Mac. 100 credits cover an episode of up to about 45 minutes with cloud transcription, the AI review and Titles. For a longer episode, choose On this Mac · free in Settings › AI before you transcribe: it is free (a 2.9 GB model, downloaded once), so the credits pay the AI review and Titles on up to about 80 minutes. When the trial ends, your edit stays in Resolve; a licence lets you carry on. One trial per Mac.

Does it work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

No. Since version 19.1, only DaVinci Resolve Studio lets other apps control it through scripting, and that is how SOLD CUT builds your edit. More on why: External scripting in Resolve.

How much does DaVinci Resolve Studio cost?

Resolve Studio is sold by Blackmagic Design, not by us: a one-time purchase, listed at $295 on their site (US price, checked 13 October 2026; prices differ by country). Try SOLD CUT free for 3 days first if you are still deciding.

Will it change or damage my timeline?

No. Every operation writes a new copy ("… AUTO", "… SPLITS", "… REACT"). Your timeline is only read. If you stop a build halfway, the unfinished copy is removed.

Resolve Studio already has Multicam SmartSwitch. Why SOLD CUT?

SmartSwitch cuts a multicam clip you have already synced and built, and its full analysis took 46 minutes on our 78-minute episode. SOLD CUT starts from the folder of raw files, syncs them, builds the project, and analyzes the same episode in 4 seconds from each person’s microphone. On that episode the person talking was on screen 93.5% of the time with SOLD CUT and between 72% and 87% with SmartSwitch, depending on how much we prepared it by hand; the numbers and how we measured are under Why SOLD CUT. SOLD CUT also keeps every angle on its own track, builds split screens for when two people talk, and adds the subtitles, react layouts, jump cuts and clips.

How does it decide which camera to show?

From the microphones. It measures who is speaking, who interrupts and for how long, then follows editing rules we tuned on our own shows: hold on real turns, absorb quick interjections, go wide on the right moments, use a group shot or split screen when two people talk over each other. You pick the pace and how eagerly it follows interruptions.

Is it only for podcasts?

It is built for shows where two to ten people talk on camera, each with their own microphone, because it picks the camera from the microphones. That is a podcast, and also an interview or a talk show filmed the same way. It cuts filmed DJ sets and events too, in beta. It is not made for weddings, music videos or one-person vlogs.

How many people and cameras?

Two to ten people, each with their own microphone (or their own channel on a multitrack recorder). Any number of cameras per person, plus wide shots, group shots and split screens.

Which languages can it transcribe?

33 languages, from English, Romanian, Spanish, French and German to Japanese and Hindi, plus Auto-detect: on your Mac with Whisper large-v3, or in the cloud with credits, where each language gets the best model available for it. We test English and Romanian in our own studio. The optional AI review can translate reels into the language of your episode.

Do I need internet?

Only to activate the app, download the speech model once, and for the optional AI features (the AI review, and cloud transcription while your credits pay for it). The multicam cut, transcription, face framing, splits, react builds and jump cuts all work offline: on a plane, on location, anywhere without a connection.

What do the AI features cost?

They run with SOLD CUT AI credits, no account with an AI provider needed: 1 credit is 1 minute of sound (cloud transcription 1 a minute, AI review 1, Titles 0.2 with at least 5), so a 90-minute episode with everything is about 198 credits. Credits come in packs of 1,000 (€19), 3,000 (€49) and 10,000 (€149), never expire. Unused jobs are refunded automatically; credits for provider work already started are kept until its outcome is known. Every job shows its cost before it starts. Transcription on your Mac is free, and the multicam cut and everything else in the app work without credits.

Does it work for DJ sets and events?

Yes, as a beta. Choose Event / DJ in Import: SOLD CUT cuts the set from the board feed, changes cameras in bars at the set's tempo, marks the drops you choose and turns them into social clips, all on a copy in Resolve. The camera plan does not look at the picture yet, so check each clip before you post it.

Weddings, music videos, vlogs?

No. SOLD CUT is built for conversations filmed with several cameras and a microphone per person, so it cannot pick the shots of a wedding film, a music video or a single-camera vlog. The Event / DJ beta is for DJ sets and live events cut from the board feed, not for weddings.

Playback stutters or the sound crackles in Resolve?

The project's playback frame rate differs from the timeline's: often 24 (Resolve's American default) on a 25 fps episode. Resolve does not let apps change it, so SOLD CUT checks it and shows the steps: File → Project Settings → Master Settings → Playback frame rate equal to the timeline, Save, then in the same window ⋯ → Save Current Settings as Preset… and ⋯ → that preset → Set as Default Preset (older Resolve: Save Current Settings as User Default Config) so every new project starts right. The first time you open SOLD CUT it checks this and the scripting setting for you, and Settings › Support › Check Resolve Settings… runs the checks again.

Can I earn by recommending SOLD CUT?

Yes. Our affiliate program pays 25% of every licence sold through your link (€37.50 at full price), with 30 days of tracking and instant approval. Sign-up and payouts run on Lemon Squeezy.

Windows? Premiere Pro?

Coming. Adobe Premiere Pro is next, then a Windows version. Leave your e-mail and we write once, when it is out. Today SOLD CUT runs on macOS with DaVinci Resolve Studio, and we ship each platform only once it cuts as well as the one we use every day.
