Screenshots
The app screenshots come from the iPhone simulator with local 4K test clips. Each language page uses screenshots in the same app language.
Video
The excerpts show real frames from several local test videos so the page does not repeat the same scene.








Quality
OneTapCut uses reduced proxy frames for analysis. The final edit returns to the original videos to preserve frame rate, resolution and bitrate as much as possible.
Premium AI
Local analysis is always available. Premium AI can review selected scenes and helps with difficult activities, selfie shots and long projects.
Learn moreMac Agent
On macOS, OneTapCut provides a local MCP host. After you grant Photos access, an agent can select videos from the iCloud Photo Library by time, place, album or recent clips, edit locally and import the finished video back into Photos.
The local host runs inside the macOS sandbox and may only use videos from Apple Photos.
The agent uses the MCP interface to query matching Photos assets and start analysis, timeline planning and export on your Mac.
The finished edit is imported back into the photo library. Raw file paths outside Photos are rejected.
