GhostCut

GhostCut is an AI Video Editor platform that combines subtitle removal, generation, translation, and AI dubbing into a single workflow. The tool addresses a specific pain point for newsrooms and content creators: the need to clean, repurpose, and localize video footage at scale without manual frame-by-frame editing.

Core Capabilities

GhostCut's subtitle removal engine targets built-in original subtitles, logos, and timestamps embedded in news clips and documentary footage. According to the vendor's documentation, the AI reconstructs scenes behind removed elements rather than simply blurring them — a distinction that matters for broadcast-quality output. The removal system supports automatic detection across dozens of languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and French.

On the generation side, GhostCut employs dual ASR (automatic speech recognition) and OCR (optical character recognition) pipelines to extract both spoken dialogue and on-screen text. The system outputs SRT files with timestamps and claims support for over 100 languages. The vendor states that the ASR handles complex audio conditions — fast speech, multiple speakers, and background noise — though no independent benchmark data is provided.

Translation and Dubbing

Video translation extends beyond subtitle swapping. GhostCut's workflow removes original subtitles, translates the source dialogue, generates new SRT files in the target language, and optionally produces AI-dubbed audio with what the vendor describes as lip-sync alignment. The documentation names over 40 target languages for translation. A user testimonial featured in the vendor's materials describes using GhostCut to translate Turkish historical documentary content into Arabic, noting that the AI dubbing style matched the documentary tone.

Production Features

Batch processing supports up to 100 files simultaneously, with format coverage including MP4, AVI, and MOV. An API is available for integration into automated pipelines, and GhostCut also publishes an AI agent skill — a prompt-based integration that allows compatible AI agents to invoke video translation, subtitle removal, and dubbing functions programmatically.

Access Model

GhostCut offers free trial credits and a free subtitle translation tier that the documentation describes as free for members without stated limits on upload, translation, editing, or download. Paid plans start around $0.06 per minute for the Basic tier, with a Pro option that unlocks subtitle erasure, advanced AI translation, voice cloning, batch processing, API access, additional cloud storage, and priority support.

What's Missing

The source documentation is entirely vendor-produced. No independent accuracy benchmarks, latency measurements, or third-party reviews are included. Voice cloning is listed as a feature but receives minimal technical description. Data retention and privacy practices are not addressed in the available materials.
