One Windows application, two ways to pay for it: monthly, for as long as you need it, or once, to keep the version you buy. Your purchase key and the link to your order arrive by email straight after checkout.
Checkout isn’t open yet. This page shows the two ways to buy Fair Copy Edit for Windows and what you get; prices are published here when checkout opens.
Fair Copy Edit · for Windows
Prices are published here when checkout opens.
For as long as you’re subscribed.
Keep the version you buy.
Prices are in Australian dollars. The checkout shows the final amount, including any tax for your country, before you pay.
Pay by card or PayPal on Lemon Squeezy’s secure checkout. Lemon Squeezy is our merchant of record: it takes the payment, so we never see your card details, and it handles sales tax, VAT or GST for your country.
The same application either way.
Check this before you buy.
Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11; 64-bit (x64) only. It installs for your user account, without administrator access, and uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 and .NET Framework 4, both part of current Windows. A recent 64-bit PC; 8 GB of memory recommended (provisional).
About 0.6 GB for the program and about 0.1 GB for FFmpeg on first use. Keep at least 5 GB free for each project; a finished video is roughly the size of its recording.
Downloaded from your order page. Its exact size and SHA-256 checksum are published with each release.
Accurate word-timed transcripts come from ElevenLabs with your own key; Fair Copy Edit shows the cost and asks before it starts. If you already have a word-timed transcript, you can use that instead.
Automatic editing uses Claude Code, which comes with Fair Copy Edit, signed in with your own Claude plan or API key. Or use ChatGPT or any AI: copy the request, paste the answer.
Not bundled. On first use, with your permission, Fair Copy Edit downloads it from gyan.dev and checks it against a pinned SHA-256.
For activation, subscription checks, transcription, AI editing and the FFmpeg download. Everything else works offline.
Any video with a sound track that FFmpeg can read, including .mp4, .mkv, .mov, .m4v, .avi, .webm, .mpg, .mpeg, .ts, .mts, .m2ts and .vob. There’s no size limit, and recordings are only ever read, never changed.
Fair Copy Edit never charges usage fees and never buys anything. Transcription and automatic editing are billed by those providers to your own accounts: ElevenLabs bills its transcription, and Claude uses your Pro or Max plan’s allowance (no extra charge unless extra usage is on) or bills your API key. The copy-and-paste route uses your own AI plan. Cutting, rendering, Quick Fix, subtitles and exports cost nothing extra.

Lemon Squeezy emails your receipt straight away, with your personal purchase key and a link to your order.

Before activation, everything works except making the finished video and Shorts. No internet on that computer? Activate on another device.

Each purchase gives you a personal licence: Fair Copy Edit is licensed to you, not to be shared or resold. One computer at a time. Move it to a new computer yourself, free: up to 3 changes of computer in any 30 days and 10 in any 12 months. Reinstalling or updating on the same computer never counts. If you need more, for example after a repair, reply to your receipt email and support will reset it for you, free of charge.
You can use Fair Copy Edit while your subscription is active, with its updates throughout. It renews automatically when it’s online, with no reinstalling or re-activating, and without a connection it keeps working for up to 7 days after your paid period. Cancel any time before your next renewal: access continues to the end of the period you’ve paid for. When access ends, your recordings, projects and finished videos are always kept and keep opening; only making new finished videos and Shorts waits until you subscribe again or buy once.
This version is yours to keep, and every Fair Copy Edit 1.x update is included, without another purchase. Version 2.0 and later are not included automatically.
Changed your mind? Ask for a refund within seven days of your purchase, or of your first subscription payment, for any reason. If a monthly renewal payment is refunded, that month’s access ends; your recordings, projects and finished videos are always kept. This voluntary policy is in addition to your rights under consumer law, including the Australian Consumer Law, which it doesn’t limit.
Documentation on this site, and best-effort help by email with installation, licensing and faults. There are no guaranteed response times, and support doesn’t include lessons in video editing or custom work.
