Fit Cut Pro vs SweatCut for follow-along workouts

Fit Cut Pro and SweatCut both put timers, exercise names and your logo on a workout video. They’re just built for different ways of working.

Fit Cut Pro is a workout video maker. It shines for live Zoom classes and for building videos from a library of exercise clips. SweatCut is a video editor for the follow-along you film in one take. It finds the exercises, lets you cut out the mistakes and places everything on screen for you.

Film once, fix it later

Lost count of a set at minute 38? Keep going. In SweatCut you cut the flub out afterwards, and the timers adjust themselves. Your video file never changes, so anything you cut can come back.

SweatCut does the rest of the edit for you

It finds every exercise

Tell auto-edit what you filmed, like “10 exercises, 30 seconds on, 20 off”. It watches your video and marks every exercise and rest by name. One press of Apply and the whole workout is marked.

Timers, names and up next, placed for you

Every countdown, exercise name and up-next preview lands on the right moment. The last three seconds of every exercise and rest beep, and the number turns your brand colour. Add an intro and an outro from the Graphics panel to open and close the video in your brand.

Music that makes room for the beeps

Drag your own songs onto the timeline. They dip under every countdown and come back up on their own. Switch on Auto ducking in the Sound panel, and SweatCut also turns the music down while you talk and brings it back up when you stop.

Your footage stays on your Mac

SweatCut opens your video right where it is, so there’s no upload to wait on before you can start.

“Editing used to take me three hours a video. Now it takes ten minutes, and I don’t dread it anymore.”

Where Fit Cut Pro shines

• Live classes. Its Zoom app puts the timer, exercise names and the next exercise on your class while you teach. SweatCut doesn’t do live.
• Recording with the timer already on. Its Recorder draws the countdown over your camera as you train, so the video is done when you stop.
• Building from clips. Film each exercise once and make lots of workouts from the same clips.

It also runs in a browser, so it works on Windows and Chromebook too.
