How does it work in Cutora?

  1. Edit your video as usual. The editor preview plays your original sound.
  2. Export the MP4. During the export, Cutora cleans the dialogue, evens out the voice and sets the loudness.
  3. Cutora checks the finished file's sound before it lets you download it.
  4. Play the exported file to hear the result.

What do you control?

  • Turn Audio cleanup off for a video if you prefer your original sound.
  • There is no strength setting and no equaliser.

What happened in our test clip?

On the same 115-second excerpt, the raw clip measured -14.8 LUFS. The exported file measured -13.8 LUFS.

The loudness range went from 10.7 to 2.2 LU, and the true peak from -0.1 to -2.0 dBFS. Part of the smaller range comes from the cut removing quiet pauses and retakes, so it is not levelling alone.

Measured on a 115-second excerpt of one English talking-head recording. We used Cutora's default first cut and the editor's own summary. Loudness comes from ffmpeg (EBU R128) on the raw excerpt and on the exported file. One clip, one speaker: results on other footage will differ. Dates: 1 November 2026.

FAQ

Will I hear the cleanup in the editor?

No. The preview plays your original sound. The cleanup is heard in the exported MP4.

What loudness does the export have?

The export is set to -14 LUFS, with a true-peak ceiling of -1 dBTP. The finished file is checked against that ceiling.

Can I turn the cleanup off?

Yes. Switch Audio cleanup off for a video.

Is the cleaned sound in the ZIP for my own editor?

No. The ZIP holds text files only, and your footage stays as you recorded it.

Hit record.

Cutora makes the first cut.

Every Cutora AI edit starts with the first cut, written for creators who film themselves and edit their own takes. The nearest older technique is auto jump cuts, which cut out the pauses; Cutora AI also cuts false starts and repeated takes. It works on the footage you recorded and won’t generate video.
