Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) · Version 3.0.3 · 7.67 GB

System requirements

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended for films and documentaries)
About 8 GB free disk for the app and models, plus space for your projects
Optional: NVIDIA GPU with driver 528.33 or newer for GPU transcription and NVENC rendering (AMD / Intel: CPU path)
Internet for downloads, your AI account and publishing; analysis and rendering work offline

About GPUs

With an NVIDIA GPU, transcription and rendering are several times faster and NVENC encoding is used automatically. Without one, everything still works on CPU — a 1-hour podcast is analyzed in a coffee break, a 2-hour film takes longer. The app detects the hardware and shows what is in use; if a GPU kernel is incompatible it falls back to CPU by itself.

Safe download

The zip is served from this site over HTTPS. Windows SmartScreen may warn about a new publisher on first run — choose "More info → Run anyway". The app contacts only your AI provider, the platforms you connect and essencecutai.online.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an installer?

No — it is a portable zip. Extract and run. Updates are announced in the app; download the new zip and extract over the old folder (your projects live in your Documents / chosen folder, not in the app folder).

Why is the download several GB?

It bundles FFmpeg, the Python runtime, PyTorch with CUDA, the Whisper model loader and the face detector so nothing else needs installing.

Does it work on macOS or Linux?

Not yet. Windows 10 / 11 only.

Can I keep my old projects when I update?

Yes. Projects are stored in your projects folder and a local database; new versions read them. New projects are created in per-tool folders; old ones stay where they are.
