ZazaCut - Shorts & Clips Creator

ZaZaCut is a local Windows desktop tool that turns long gameplay recordings into short, publish-ready clips faster.

Stop hunting through hours of footage by hand. ZaZaCut helps you find loud highlights, visual flashes, intense moments, and also split long videos into clean sequential parts when you do not need highlight detection.

No AI. No cloud upload. No account. Your videos stay on your PC.

Two Ways to Cut Gameplay

ZaZaCut is built around two practical creator workflows:

• Highlight Detection ? detects gunshots, screams, jumpscares, explosions, fights, attacks, brightness flashes, loud reactions, and other moments that stand out.

• Smart Split ? divides longplays, walkthroughs, streams, podcasts, tutorials, and archive videos into sequential clips of a chosen length.

Everything is based on deterministic local analysis such as RMS loudness, silence before peaks, brightness flashes, simple scoring, and timeline splitting. No neural networks are used.

Review Before Export

After analysis, ZaZaCut fills a Detected Clips table so you can decide exactly what gets exported.

• Select or deselect individual clips before export.

• Export all detected clips or only the strongest moments.

• Use Best 10 / Best 20 for highlight workflows.

• Use Smart Split for continuous chronological parts without ranking.

Made for Shorts, TikTok, Reels and Steam Promotion

Export your clips in creator-friendly formats:

• Original ? keep the original video format.

• 9:16 Crop ? vertical gameplay crop for fast Shorts-style content.

• 9:16 Cinematic ? preserve the full gameplay frame inside a 1080x1920 vertical canvas with space for branding.

• 9:16 Stream ? vertical layout for gameplay with a webcam zone, placing gameplay above and webcam below.

Use it for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Steam wishlist promotion, horror atmosphere clips, FPS action clips, and indie game marketing.

Visual Branding Editor

ZaZaCut includes a lightweight branding editor so exported clips can look ready to publish.

• Place your game logo and CTA image directly inside the preview.

• Add intro and outro videos to exported clips.

• Preview TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and universal safe zones.

• Merge Logo and CTA so they alternate instead of taking too much screen space.

• Use gameplay preview screenshots generated from your own video after analysis.

The preview is designed to match export placement: what you see in the editor is what gets rendered into the final clip.

Local and Private

ZaZaCut runs locally on your Windows PC using FFmpeg and simple signal analysis.

• No cloud processing.

• No online video upload.

• No subscription server required.

• No internet required for processing.
