Thank you! I apologize for not including a link to the actual tool I was referencing.
The app is very sophisticated and they do many dark UX practices so I wanted to do some forensics under the radar before compiling an expose, but it is CapCut. It is integrated into TikTok fairly deeply and contains many nasty UX decisions that TikTok used to have before they were called out on it so I am suspicious. Just curious if there is any legit reason to have scalpel be included in the 3rd party source code disclosure.
- runjake 3y agoIf it's CapCut, I'm going with my guess in my previous comment: scalpel allows the app to carve out a portion of a video file cleanly.

- ceroxylon 3y agoThank you! I think you are probably correct and I appreciate you taking the time to reply. This will go on the back-burner for now unless some other red flag pops up.
