ChopShop

Lay video and audio side by side, overlap them, and arrange everything exactly where you want it. No nesting, no nested sequences, no surprises — just a clean two-track layout that does what you expect.

Split clips at the playhead, set in and out points, and nudge by a single frame or ten at a time. Single-key shortcuts for splits and I/O points keep your hands on the keyboard and your edit moving.

Flip any clip to play backward or dial in a new speed — ChopShop pre-renders the result so playback stays smooth. Great for effect shots or slowing down a detail you want viewers to catch.

Keep a clip's sound married to its picture when you need them to move together — or break them apart when you don't. Full control over which way your audio behaves, always.

Size the preview window to fit your footage in one click, then copy the current frame straight to your clipboard whenever you need a still. What you see is exactly what you'll export.

ChopShop is a true Mac app — document-based .chop format, multi-window editing, full undo/redo, and copy/paste of clips. It imports MP4, MOV, M4A and more, exports fast, and stays out of your Dock when you're not using it. Available in 11 languages.
