Built by a founder,
for founders on camera.
Hi, I'm TJ — founder of The Founder's Frame. I help business owners build their brand and presence on social media, and MyFirstCut is the tool I wished existed every time a founder told me editing was the reason they stopped posting.
I used to rely on tools like Descript for my own rough cuts — specifically for the long-form videos I produce for my Subi Shop YouTube channel with nearly 100k subscribers. But it felt too costly when all I really wanted was its core rough cut functionality. MyFirstCutisn't here to compete with Descript; it's here to give content creators an affordable, lightning-fast alternative to strip out the dead air without the bloat.
What is MyFirstCut?
MyFirstCut is a browser-based, AI-powered rough cut editor designed for creators who want to strip dead air and bad takes from their raw footage without the steep learning curve of a traditional timeline editor.
By treating your video's transcript like a text document, MyFirstCut lets you delete silences, retakes, and filler words with a single click. Everything processes entirely on your local machine—meaning no slow server queues, no massive video uploads, and zero privacy risks.
It's lightning fast, affordable, and built specifically to turn your raw A-roll into a publishable cut in minutes so you can focus on what actually matters: creating content.
The Founder's Frame
The Founder's Frame helps business owners show up on social media with confidence — building their brand, their presence, and their voice on camera. The biggest thing standing between most founders and consistent content isn't ideas or courage. It's the edit.
MyFirstCut is the Founder's Frame answer to that: point it at your raw take, let it strip the silences and false starts, and walk away with a rough cut you can actually publish — without learning a timeline editor.
