A Faster Way to Get the Rough Cut Right

Sashimii started as one small tool with one job, getting the rough cut of a talking-head video right without a trip through a full editor.

Close-up of Sashimii's join review: the out and in waveforms either side of a 4.5 second cut.

Sashimii began as a test build with a single job: take a talking-head recording, get it to a clean rough cut, and get every cut in it just right.

Why We Built It

An AI agent can read a transcript and pick the good takes surprisingly well. That gets a rough cut most of the way there. The part that still eats an afternoon is the rest: a cut that clips the end of a word, a join that lands a moment too early, a pause that should have stayed. Fixing those in a full editor means hunting for each one on a timeline built for everything else.

So the first version did only this, and tried to do it fast.

What It Does

Your own agent does the first pass from the transcript. You do the last pass by ear, and nothing slips through because you looked at every join.
