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.
