How does it work in Cutora?

  1. Finish the cuts in Cutora.
  2. Choose Export to your editor and download the ZIP.
  3. Unzip it and make a folder called media next to the files. Put your original footage in it, with the same file names.
  4. Import the file your editor reads. The README says which one to pick.
  5. Relink the media if your editor asks where it is.

What is in the ZIP?

  • An FCPXML project file.
  • A second XML project file in the Final Cut Pro 7 format.
  • An EDL, which carries the cuts only.
  • An OpenTimelineIO file.
  • An SRT file with the captions, one cue per caption card.
  • A cut list in plain text, so you can check any editor's result by eye.
  • A loss report and a README.

What stays in the exported MP4?

  • Zooms, cards, highlights and effect sounds stay in the exported MP4. The loss report lists what your edit loses in the ZIP.
  • The cleaned sound is heard in the exported MP4 as well.
  • The exported MP4 is always the reference for how the finished video looks.

FAQ

Does the ZIP contain my video?

No. It holds text files only. You put your own footage in a media folder, with the same file names.

Are the cuts frame-accurate?

The cuts are exact to the frame at 30 fps, in every timeline file.

Do zooms and cards come across?

No. Use the exported MP4 for the finished look. The loss report lists what your edit loses.

Do captions come across?

Yes, as a plain SRT file with no styling. On-screen text comes as markers with its words.

Does the ZIP count as an export?

Yes. On the trial, a downloaded ZIP counts as one of the ten exports.

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. You can create an account now and try it on one video.
