How does it work in Cutora?
- Cutora transcribes the video, so it has every word and the time you said it.
- It finds sentences you abandoned and began again, and lines you said more than once.
- It scores each take on five things: completeness, fluency, pace, how clearly it was recognised and loudness.
- It keeps the take it rates highest and removes the others.
- It can leave a note on the timeline that says which take it kept and why.
What do you control?
- If it kept the wrong take, restore the removed one from the Edits list and remove the other.
- The whole first cut undoes as one step, and so does each chat request.
- Ask the chat to tighten a section or to remove a part you name.

FAQ
How does Cutora choose which take to keep?
It scores each take on completeness, fluency, pace, how clearly the words were recognised and loudness. It keeps the highest. When two score close, a model can also hear and see them.
What if it keeps the wrong take?
Restore the removed take from the Edits list and remove the one it kept. Undo works too.
Does it remove a sentence I restarted in the middle?
A false start is a sentence you begin, abandon and say again. The first cut removes the abandoned attempt and keeps the sentence you finished.
Does it find every repeated line?
No. When Cutora is not sure two takes are the same line, it keeps both. Check the cuts on the timeline.
