Cutora AI for agencies and editors: what fits and what does not

By Mohamed Mokbel, founder · Last updated:

Cutora AI is built for one person talking to camera, and an account is for one person. There are no seats, shared workspaces, client review links, single sign-on or public API. An agency or freelance editor can still use it for talking-head footage from one account. These are the questions agencies and editors ask.

Accounts, seats and teams

Can an agency edit client videos in its own Cutora account?

Yes, as one person's account. Cutora AI is built for one person talking to camera, and you can upload footage of a client talking to camera into your own account. Every uploaded minute counts against your plan's allowance for the month (Creator 120 minutes, Pro 250). There is no client workspace: the account is for one person, with no seats or shared projects.

How do I add another person or invite my editor to my Cutora account?

You cannot. An account is for one person: there are no seats, shared workspaces, client review links or single sign-on. Each person who edits needs their own account, with their own sign-in and their own plan. If your editor needs your cut, use the Export to your editor ZIP, which holds project files and no video. Details are on the product facts page.

Can I add more editors without upgrading my plan?

No, because Cutora AI has no seats to add. An account is for one person, and upgrading from Creator ($15 a month or $144 a year) to Pro ($29 a month or $288 a year) adds minutes of footage and queue priority, not people. Prices are in US dollars before tax. Another editor would need their own account. See the pricing page.

Does Cutora have team plans, a team workspace or shared editing?

No. Cutora AI has one account per person, and its product facts list no seats, shared workspaces, client review links or single sign-on. Two people cannot edit the same project together. The pricing page lists a Trial, Creator and Pro. If you need something the product does not do, write to hello@usecutora.com and say what.

Can I pay once for several seats?

No. Cutora AI has no seats, so there is nothing to pay for once. Each plan belongs to one person's account. Creator is $15 a month ($144 a year) and Pro is $29 a month ($288 a year), before tax. Cutora's product facts do not describe a bundle for several accounts.

Companies, universities and enterprise questions

Does Cutora offer an enterprise or business plan, and when should I talk to sales?

No. Cutora's pricing page lists a Trial, Creator and Pro, and Cutora has no enterprise or business plan. If your question is about something the plans do not cover, write to hello@usecutora.com, in English or Arabic, and say what you need; Cutora replies within 2 business days. For one person who films themselves, Creator or Pro is the whole choice. See the pricing page.

Can my company pay by invoice instead of card?

Cutora's product facts do not say yet whether a company can pay by invoice instead of card. They do say that paid plans are sold by Polar, the merchant of record, which handles payments, tax, invoices and refunds, and that you find your invoices under Manage billing on the Account page. Payment methods and what an invoice shows are not stated yet: write to hello@usecutora.com.

Can a university or a brokerage buy Cutora for all its staff or agents?

Not as one purchase. Each person needs their own account and plan, because Cutora AI has no seats, shared workspaces or single sign-on. Cutora has no volume plan and no student, education or non-profit discount. A person who films themselves can start on the trial: one video up to 10 minutes, no card.

Does Cutora offer volume discounts?

Cutora's product facts do not mention a volume discount. Cutora has no student, education or non-profit discount, and it has no volume plan. Prices are Creator $15 a month or $144 a year and Pro $29 a month or $288 a year, before tax. If you have many people to cover, write to hello@usecutora.com.

Can a TV newsroom use Cutora?

Only for a single presenter talking to camera, and probably not as a newsroom tool. Cutora AI does not tell speakers apart, has no shared workspaces and states no broadcast standard. Exports are MP4 at 30 frames per second, 1080 pixels on the short side. A newsroom with several voices and several people editing needs more than it offers.

Client work, handoff and branding

Can a freelance editor use Cutora for many clients?

Yes for talking-head footage, from your own account. You keep all rights to the footage you upload and to the videos you export, and Cutora's limited permission to process them is only to provide the service. Every file counts against your minutes for the month, and projects not edited for 90 days are deleted, with an email 7 days before, so download what you deliver.

Can I keep each client's projects separate?

Cutora's product facts do not say yet whether projects can be grouped or labelled by client. A video is one project, and all your projects sit in your one account. You could name each project after the client, but that is your own convention, not a feature the facts describe.

Can a client review the cut without a Cutora account?

No. Cutora AI has no client review links, and its exports are for the account owner. To show a client the result, export the MP4 and send it. To hand the timeline to another editor, the Export to your editor ZIP carries the cuts and an SRT caption file. Neither is a review link.

Can I send the timeline to my editor without sending the big video file?

Yes, but your editor still needs the footage. The Export to your editor ZIP holds text files only: project files for Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro XML, an EDL, an OpenTimelineIO file, an SRT file, a cut list and a README. Your video is not in it, so the editor puts the same footage in a media folder. Cuts are exact to the frame at 30 fps.

Can my editor use Cutora to work faster?

Cutora's product facts state no speed or time-saved figure, so we promise none. An editor can use the first cut as a starting point and review it on the timeline, then send it on as project files. Verified in DaVinci Resolve 21; Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro are not yet tested by us. Zooms, cards, highlights and effect sounds do not carry over to the ZIP.

Can I save brand kits, caption presets or style presets for each client?

Cutora's product facts list no brand kits or saved presets. Captions come in three styles: Clean, Bold and Karaoke. You can edit each caption's words and timing, but you cannot choose font, size, colour or position. Effects style can be Energetic, Clean or None, and Motion, Sound effects and Highlights can each be switched off for a video.

Can I white-label Cutora for my agency?

Cutora's product facts do not describe a white-label option. They do say that exports made on the trial carry a small Cutora mark and that paid exports do not, so a paid export carries no mark. There is no client portal or custom branding to show under your own name.

How do I use the Cutora API?

You cannot, because Cutora has no public API. There are no API keys, webhooks or developer documentation in the product facts. What leaves Cutora is the MP4 download and the Export to your editor ZIP. If an integration decides your choice, tell us at hello@usecutora.com what you need.

Which tool suits an agency, and which videos fit

Which video editing software suits agencies?

It depends on the work. An agency that needs several editors in one project, client review links, brand kits or an API needs a tool with those features, and Cutora AI has none of them. Cutora AI suits the part where one person talks to camera and you want a first cut: it removes long pauses, false starts and repeated takes, and you review the result. Compare on your own footage first.

Can I use Cutora for internal company videos?

Yes, if the video is one person talking to camera, such as a training clip or an announcement. Cutora AI makes the first cut and you review it on an editable timeline, then export an MP4. Videos with several speakers are a poor fit because it does not tell speakers apart. Your video is not used to train AI models.

Can I use Cutora for a CEO's weekly update video?

Yes, it is the kind of video Cutora AI is built for: one person talking to camera, recorded in one session. Whoever holds the account uploads the file, reviews the cut and exports. A weekly video counts against the plan's minutes of footage for each month (Creator 120, Pro 250), and unused minutes do not roll over.

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.
