Why Resolve editors choose SOLD CUT
Pay once, keep it
Automatic podcast editors are usually rented by the month. SOLD CUT is a one-time purchase: €150 covers your studio Mac and your laptop, with every update, including the next major version. No editing tool that stops working when a card expires.
It starts before the edit
Give SOLD CUT the folder with the episode’s camera cards and recorder files. It syncs everything by sound or timecode, starts DaVinci Resolve by itself and builds the project, the tracks and the timeline, then cuts. From the cards to a first cut without touching Resolve.
Built only for Resolve
Everything lands as real Resolve timelines: the chosen angle on, every other angle kept underneath, disabled, so any shot is one click away. Split screens are compound clips, subtitles a subtitle track, react layouts Fusion compositions. Your original timeline is never written.
The whole podcast, not only the cut
Studio subtitles with an AI review, ten scored YouTube titles, react layouts for clips that play on a screen, jump cuts and quick clips in any format, all in the same Mac app. See how a podcast edit works in SOLD CUT.
Works offline, footage stays home
The cut, transcription on your Mac, face framing and every build in Resolve work without internet. Video never leaves your Mac.
When AutoPod is the better fit
If you edit in Premiere Pro, or on Windows, AutoPod is built for that and SOLD CUT is not, yet. If you edit in DaVinci Resolve Studio on a Mac, SOLD CUT was made for exactly that setup, by a studio that edits podcasts every week. We also measured SOLD CUT against Resolve’s own SmartSwitch on a real episode: see the numbers.
Questions
Is SOLD CUT a plugin like AutoPod?
No, it is a native Mac app that drives DaVinci Resolve Studio through Resolve’s own scripting. You open SOLD CUT next to Resolve; everything it makes lands in Resolve as ordinary timelines, tracks and clips.
Does SOLD CUT work with Premiere Pro?
Not yet. Premiere Pro is next on our list. Today SOLD CUT works with DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.1 or newer on Macs with Apple Silicon.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes: 3 days with every feature and 100 AI credits. Download SOLD CUT, open it and type your e-mail under “Try SOLD CUT free for 3 days”.
Do I keep the updates?
Yes. The €150 licence includes every update, the next major version too, on two Macs at the same time.
