Rapidcut converts your raw 4K footage into lightweight proxy files in seconds — so your timeline stays smooth no matter what you throw at it.
Free forever · 10 videos/month · No account required to download
4K footage from your phone or camera is huge. Your editor has to decode every frame in real time — and it can't keep up.
Every cut stutters. Scrubbing through clips feels like wading through mud. You spend more time waiting than editing.
Your preview window drops frames mid-playback. You can't judge pacing or timing when you can't see the footage smoothly.
Fans screaming, CPU at 100%, laptop burning your lap — just to play back a single clip at half speed.
Proxy files are lower-resolution copies of your footage that your editor uses during editing. When you export, it automatically swaps back to the originals. Rapidcut makes creating them effortless.
Drag and drop your raw 4K footage from your phone or camera straight into Rapidcut. Batch convert as many files as you need.
Rapidcut uses FFmpeg to generate optimised 1080p H.264 proxy files. No settings to figure out — it just works.
Link the proxies in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere Pro and your timeline flies. Scrub, cut, and grade without a single stutter.
