RideCut

A day of ride footage, cut down to the good bits.

RideCut reads the GoPro, phone and drone files in a folder, finds the moments worth keeping, and renders them into one short movie. Free, on your own computer, with nothing in your folder changed. Pro adds Claude's rating of every moment.

Every file on one timeline, by camera. The amber marks are the clips RideCut chose for the cut; the faint ones are the other moments it considered. You can swap any clip for one of those.

How it works

  1. Open the ride folder.Subfolders are scanned too. RideCut keeps its own work in a .ridecut folder inside it and never touches your footage.
  2. Analyze.Each file is read for motion, GPS and the GoPro's sensors to find the moments worth a look. That scoring is free and works offline. With Pro, Claude also looks at each moment and rates it, after telling you how many it will send.
  3. Review and render.Set a target length, swap or trim clips, then render one movie in landscape or portrait, with speed, altitude and a mini-map drawn on if you want them.

What it needs

Windows 10 or 11, or a Mac running macOS 12 or later. Everything it needs to read and encode video is included.

Footage from any mix of GoPro, phone, camera and drone. A GPX track from a phone or watch is optional and gives speed, altitude and a map to clips from every camera.

Free and Pro

The download is free and needs no account. Opening a folder, analyzing, reviewing the cut, the overlays and rendering up to 4K all run on your computer and stay there.

RideCut Pro is $8 a month and adds one thing: Claude rates each moment, through your RideCut sign-in, with no API key to manage. A ride's worth of moments is a small part of the monthly allowance, and repeats are cached. If you already have an Anthropic key, you can use that instead on the free plan. Pricing in full.
