Supercut

A cinematic scrapbook

Collect the scenes
of your life.
Cut the movie later.

Supercut is where you keep the shots, moods and half-ideas that a film is made of — for a short, for the next video, or for the one you’re living. Collect them as they turn up. Thread them onto a reel when the story shows itself.

Google or a magic link. No password to invent.

The story path: your scenes in the order you’d watch them, gaps and all.

What people plan in it

Anything that ends up being watched.

Short films

Park every reference, mood and framing note against the scene it belongs to, then lay the scenes out as a reel and see the shape of the thing before you shoot a frame.

YouTube & video

One cinescape per video. Thumbnails, b-roll ideas, the joke you thought of in the shower — all sitting in order, waiting for a shoot day.

Your own life

The trip, the year, the flat you’re about to leave. Collect the scenes while they’re happening and let the story turn up later, which is what it does anyway.

The method

Cinescape, scene, story path.

01

Open a cinescape

A cinescape is one film — a project, a trip, a channel. Name it, and its card on your wall becomes its poster.

02

Collect scenes

Each scene holds a reference image, a sketch you draw yourself, notes, and mood, lighting and genre tags. Supercut writes the image prompt for you from them.

03

Cut the movie

Thread the scenes onto the reel, frame by frame. Drag one into a gap, swap two, pull the whole strip loose and reseat it. The order is the edit.

Your wall

Every cinescape wears a poster.

The card for a project isn’t a folder with a name on it — it’s a one-sheet you design. Eight templates, your own paper and ink, and every line on the poster typed straight onto the poster.

How it thinks

The rules of film.

Six things Supercut believes about making something. They’re not settings — they’re why the app is shaped the way it is.

  1. 01

    Collect first. Order later.

    You almost never meet the scenes of a story in the order they’ll be told. Supercut is built to take them as they arrive.

  2. 02

    Film words, not app words.

    Scenes, frames, reels and cinescapes — never entries, slots or collections. The language you plan in shapes what you make.

  3. 03

    An empty frame is a promise.

    Gaps on the reel are kept, not closed. A hole in the middle of the film is you knowing something belongs there.

  4. 04

    Every scene earns its frame.

    A scene sits in one place on the story path. If it wants a second, it’s two scenes.

  5. 05

    Nothing is final until you cut.

    Reorder mode lifts the film off the reel and lets it shake about until you’re happy. Then it threads straight back.

  6. 06

    Give the film a poster.

    Naming the thing and putting a sheet on the wall for it is how it stops being a folder and starts being a film.

The words on the reel

Cinescape

One film. A project, a trip, a channel.

Scene

One moment: image, sketch, notes, mood.

Story path

The reel — your scenes in order.

Frame

One slot on the reel. It can sit empty.

Poster

The cinescape’s card. You design it.

Start with one scene.

You don’t need the story yet. You need somewhere to put the first thing you noticed.
