PineCut, the gameplay editor that watches for the good parts
A Windows desktop tool that splits gameplay recordings into matches, identifies the game, detects moments such as kills, and renders highlight clips and vertical shorts.
Why it surfaced
PineCut processes footage locally rather than uploading it, and its pricing is unusually plainspoken: every feature is free, while a one-time $14.99 purchase removes the export watermark. The bilingual site also makes a concrete promise about expansion—its on-screen text engine could look for more than kills as the tool learns to handle more games and moments.
