Documentation
Everything you need to install CutPilot, connect an AI provider, and edit with confidence.
Getting started
Install the plugin and the helper, create an API key at OpenAI, Anthropic or Google (with realistic cost expectations), run your first silence cut and your first chat edit.
FAQ & troubleshooting
Helper shows offline, API key marked invalid, "sequence is empty", caption import steps, plans and limits, privacy details, undo behavior — the answers live here.
API keys & costs
Step-by-step key creation for each provider and what a session actually costs (typically $0.01–$0.10 of API usage; silence cutting is always free and local).
Privacy & helper security model
How the local helper is locked to localhost with a per-install token, what data goes where, and why our servers only ever see license keys.
Silence cut options
Threshold, minimum silence, padding, preview-as-markers, filler-word removal — how each option changes the cut list.
Captions & languages
Native transcript vs. Whisper/Gemini transcription, the SRT import flow, translation on Pro, and the free tier's one-language / 10-minute limits.
