About SwiftCut
SwiftCut creates transition clips for video editors. You upload a start frame and an end frame, optionally add a prompt with extra instructions, and click Generate; the tool uses top AI video models to produce a clip within about two minutes that can be downloaded and imported into an editing timeline. It works without a prompt, and no VFX experience is required.
Use cases shown include visual hooks that morph one shot into another, logo morphs and product transitions. Models named are Seedance 2.0, Google Veo 3.1 and Kling 2.5. Pricing is monthly with credits: Basic is $12 for 300 credits, Creator is $45 for 1,500 credits with MCP access to generate from Claude and credit top-ups, and Studio is $147 for 6,000 credits, with more parallel generations on higher plans. Plans renew monthly through Stripe and can be canceled any time.
