  Extract Clips For Social Media

Long lectures are valuable, but also inefficient to revisit to review specific concepts.

As someone who regularly attends and delivers recorded lectures, I repeatedly encountered the same problem. Employees and students rarely need to rewatch an entire session. They need fast access to the exact segment that explains a specific concept. Yet most video tools force users to scrub through hours of footage just to find a few relevant minutes.

SnipCut was built to solve that problem.

It is a lightweight, fast desktop tool designed to turn long-form recordings into clearly titled, shareable clips. By simply specifying start and end times, you can extract precise sections of a video, apply basic video effects, resize clips, and convert them into different formats. The result is focused, accessible content that can be consumed quickly and shared easily.

SnipCut was also an opportunity for me to explore new ground technically. As a web developer, I wanted to step outside my usual environment and experiment with Tauri and Rust, while still leveraging familiar tools like React and JavaScript. The result is a small, efficient application that feels native, launches quickly, and stays out of the way.

SnipCut is intentionally simple. It does not try to be a full video editor. It exists to do one thing well: help you extract meaningful moments from long recordings and make them immediately useful.

While it is a modest tool, it was built from a real need, and I hope others facing the same frustration will find it equally valuable.
