# Guides for creator gear
Cutshed is a set of free browser tools for people who already shoot. These guides are the gear around that work: a desk mic, a wireless lav, a phone gimbal, a card, a drive, a webcam, a tracking camera, and headphones. One how-to covers clipping a stream VOD you already saved.
- How to How to add subtitles to a video for free (SRT / VTT) November 6, 2026 Add subtitles in the browser with Whisper. Edit the lines, then download SRT or VTT. Nothing is uploaded. Twenty minutes or 200 MB.
- How to How to split a video into equal parts online (free, no upload) November 5, 2026 Split a video into equal parts in the browser. Type a length such as 14.9 seconds and download each MP4 or a ZIP. The file is not uploaded.
- Buyer guide Best AI 360 & Action Cameras for Creators November 4, 2026 360 and action cameras whose Amazon listings name AI chips, AI noise reduction, AI reframing, or AI editing, plus free Cutshed tools.
- How to How to extract audio from a video (MP4 to MP3) for free November 2, 2026 Pull the soundtrack out of an MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV as MP3 in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Pick 128, 192, 256, or 320 kbps. Over 250 MB is refused.
- How to How to compress a video for Discord October 30, 2026 Compress video for Discord under 10 MB or 25 MB in the browser. Nothing is uploaded. The size is a target, not a guaranteed last byte.
- How to How to crop a video to 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts October 28, 2026 9:16 is a vertical frame, 1080 by 1920 at full HD. Crop it free in the browser. The window is centered and the file is not uploaded.

- Buyer guide Best AI voice recorder and transcriber October 21, 2026 Which AI voice recorder is most accurate? Only soundcore Work states speaker identification and up to 97% accuracy. The other three listings do not.
