VerseCut 3.0  -  offline video editor for Windows and macOS
===========================================================

WINDOWS 10 / 11
  1. Unzip this folder to  C:\VerseCut
  2. Double-click  Install-VerseCut.bat   (about 10 minutes, needs internet once)
     If Windows says "Windows protected your PC", click More info > Run anyway.
  3. Open VerseCut from the desktop icon or the Start menu.

macOS 12 MONTEREY OR LATER  (Apple silicon and Intel)
  1. Double-click  Install VerseCut.command   (about 10 minutes, needs internet once)
     macOS 15 or later: if macOS says it cannot verify the file, click Done, then
       System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
     macOS 12-14: right-click the file, choose Open, then Open again.
     If macOS asks whether Terminal may use your Downloads folder, click OK.
  2. VerseCut opens by itself when setup finishes. It is in Applications:
     open it from Launchpad or Spotlight (Cmd+Space, type VerseCut).
  3. You can delete this folder afterwards - the app does not need it.
  Nothing else to install: VerseCut brings its own Python and video engine.

YOUR LICENCE
  The first launch starts a 14-day Creator trial. No account, no card, nothing to
  cancel. Click Licence at the top of the window to paste in a licence key, or to
  see this computer's Machine ID. VerseCut checks licences on your own computer and
  never contacts a server.
