Not for: Not a browser editor, and not a Flatpak or an AppImage: the one Linux package is a .deb for Ubuntu 24.04 or later, on amd64.
What runs on Linux
The whole app. The timeline with titles, effects, masks and keyframes; the colour page with wheels, curves, LUTs and scopes, and Auto Balance Colour; export to MP4, MOV or WebM; and Vantacut Auto-Edit, which makes the first cut of a highlight reel from your footage and one song. It is the same editor as on Windows, with the same account and the same credits. macOS is coming; Linux and Windows ship today.
Install it on Ubuntu
Vantacut ships as a Debian package for Ubuntu 24.04 or later, on amd64. Download it, then install it with sudo apt install ./vantacut_x.y.z_amd64.deb, using the file name you downloaded. apt pulls in the graphics and display libraries the package declares. The app installs to /opt/vantacut with a menu entry. Open it, create your account or sign in, finish in your browser, and come back: the editor is free, with nothing to pay.
Updates
The app tells you when a new version is out. Download the new package and install it the same way, with apt. There is no separate repository to add, so nothing on your system changes until you choose to install a release.
Your machine does the work
Editing, playback and export run on your computer, so the machine matters more than the connection. Clips are read from wherever you keep them, never copied, and heavy footage gets light proxies so playback stays smooth. Export renders from your originals at full resolution, with GPU encoding where your graphics card supports it. Sign in once and editing keeps working offline; only Auto-Edit needs the internet.
Auto-Edit on Linux
Import the cards, turn on AI analysis, choose a song and a theme, and press Create. Auto-Edit asks up to three questions only you can answer, shows its plan, then lays the reel on a new timeline of ordinary clips. To find moments it shares low-quality copies of your clips, still frames and the speech, after the app asks once; your originals and your songs never leave your computer. Only Auto-Edit uses credits, charged by the minute at the rates on the pricing page.
Alongside other Linux editors
DaVinci Resolve also lists Linux among its platforms, so one Linux workstation can hold both: Vantacut for the first cut of an event highlight, Resolve for a grade built on nodes. Export the movie from Vantacut and bring the file into whatever you finish in. Vantacut does not write a project file for another editor, so do the structural editing before you export.
Your footage stays on your computer
Editing, playback and export run on your computer, and your original footage and songs never leave it. To find moments, Auto-Edit shares low-quality copies of your clips, still frames and the speech, and the app asks once before anything is sent. The editor works worldwide, in English; credit packs are priced in Indian rupees.
