A simple workflow
From a recording to a story.
Shape each clip
Arrange the parts you want to keep. Refine framing and caption styles before exporting.
Make it yours
Export your video, subtitles or an editing timeline. Your source video files stay on your computer.
An optional AI connection
Your assistant can join the edit.
Create an MCP connection in Settings, then add its URL to a compatible assistant. Keep DF Editor open while your assistant works.
You can recognise speech and edit without MCP. Third-party AI accounts or subscriptions are separate from DF Editor.

Does my video leave my Mac?
Source videos stay on your Mac. Speech recognition sends extracted audio through our backend to AssemblyAI. An AI connection can share requested transcripts, project information and frame images with the assistant you choose.
Can I work without an AI assistant?
Yes. Speech recognition, manual editing and export work without an MCP connection. An internet connection is required for sign-in, account verification and speech recognition.
How do updates work?
Open Settings → Updates. Download an available update, then choose Restart and Install. You do not need to drag a new installer to Applications for each update.
Will an Orcast subscription unlock DF Editor?
No. They are separate products with separate subscriptions and allowances, even if you sign in with the same Google account.
