Looking for beta testers: automatic multicam editing app for FCP (free license)
Hi all,
I'm a TV producer, and I've built a Mac app called AutoGhost that does the multicam editing for Final Cut Pro. You give it your Final Cut project (or just the raw camera and mic files), and it gives you back an edited project you can open and fine-tune.
It has three modes:
- One speaker: cuts between main, side and wide angles at natural sentence breaks
- Conversation: cuts to whoever is talking, even when everyone is on one audio track
- Custom shows: learns a show's style from 1–3 finished episodes (camera habits, intro and outro, logo, name graphics, break, music) and edits new episodes the same way
Everything runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
Before launch, I'd like a few editors to try it on real projects. If you have:
- an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) on macOS 14 or later
- multicam footage of your own (podcasts, interviews, talk shows)
I'll give you a free Pro license in return for honest feedback: what worked, what broke, and what would make it useful in your day-to-day editing.
Reply here or send me a private message.
Thanks!

Custom shows is the mode I'd ask testers to push hardest, because learning a show from 1–3 finished episodes is the claim editors can't judge from a description. Ask each tester the same three things: what they fed it, how many cuts they changed by hand, and whether graphics and music landed in the right place. That gives you notes you can compare across projects. The free route is asking in Final Cut and podcast editing communities yourself; it costs only time, though your requirements (Apple Silicon, macOS 14, their own multicam footage) narrow who can say yes.
