AI video editor for course creators who film themselves
By Mohamed Mokbel, founder · Last updated:
Cutora AI fits a course lesson you film yourself talking to camera. You upload the raw recording and it makes the first cut: it removes long pauses, false starts and repeated takes, so you review a first cut instead of cutting every restart by hand. A project can be up to 60 minutes on Creator and Pro, and 10 minutes on the trial.

What does a course lesson need from an editor?
- The restarts and dead air taken out, so the lesson says each thing once.
- Clear audio and captions, so a student can follow without turning the volume up.
- A cut you can fix: a lesson changes, so the edit has to stay editable.
What does Cutora AI do with a lesson?
It makes the first cut by removing long pauses, false starts and repeated takes, and keeps one take of a repeated line. It can clean the audio of the dialogue and add English captions (Arabic captions are in Beta), highlights on key words, motion and sound effects. You finish the edit on a timeline you can change, or by chat, which has real limits.
What does not fit?
Cutora AI is built for one person talking to camera. A project holds up to 2 files and up to 60 minutes of footage in total, so a lesson longer than that has to be split into projects. It does not add B-roll on its own. A clip of your own can go on the second video lane of the editor, by hand or by asking the chat. It does not generate video, avatars or voices. It has no manual colour grading. It applies one colour look that follows the style (Warm for Clean, Contrast for Energetic; Clean, Warm and Contrast to choose from) that you can switch off. It does not edit videos longer than 60 minutes (10 minutes on the trial). It does not publish to social platforms.
Plans: the trial is one video up to 10 minutes with no card; Creator is $15 a month for 120 minutes of footage, and Pro is $29 a month for 250. See pricing.
