Retake cleanup

In development

Goodbye to the
repeated take.

When you say a line three times until it comes out right, Retake Cleanup spots it, compares the takes and keeps the last one. Your footage cleans itself before you start editing.

Demo

You record talking to yourself. It comes out edited.

In the video: ten minutes of footage with repeats is grouped by attempt, the good take of each group is marked and the rest disappears from the sequence.

How it works

Transcribe, group, keep the good one.

1
Transcribe
Transcribes the whole footage and segments it by phrase with exact timecode.
2
Compare repeats
Spots near-identical phrases in a row and groups them as attempts at the same take.
3
Keep the good one
Keeps the last clean take and removes the previous attempts and the stumbles.
Capabilities

Built for recording to camera without a locked script.

The solo creator flow: talk, get it wrong, say it again. Retake Cleanup turns that mess into usable footage.

Review before cutting
A list of every detected group with the chosen take marked. You change the selection if you want.
Filler detection
Flags the ums, the let me sees and the false starts as separate candidates for removal.
Reversible cut
Everything lands as cuts on the sequence. You undo any decision without losing footage.

Under the hood

What it does inside.

Grouping
Semantic similarity, not literal matching
When you repeat a line you almost never say it the same way: you change a word, the order or the tone. The comparison works on meaning, so two similar attempts group together even when the text does not match character for character.
Selection
Why the last one is usually the good one
When someone repeats, the last take is almost always the one that worked: that is why it is the default. Even so, every group can be reassigned by hand, and the discarded footage stays in the project in case you change your mind.
