How would an agency or editor use it?

  1. Upload the host's recorded video to your own account.
  2. Let the first cut remove long pauses, false starts and repeated takes.
  3. Check the cuts on the timeline and restore anything the host wanted.
  4. Download the Export to your editor ZIP, or an MP4 for review.
  5. Finish the episode in your own editor, adding what Cutora does not carry.

What does the handoff carry?

  • The cuts, exact to the frame at 30 fps, in FCPXML, EDL and OpenTimelineIO files.
  • An SRT file with the captions.
  • A cut list and a loss report that names what your edit loses.
  • We checked the import in DaVinci Resolve 21.

Is there a team option?

We are planning a small pilot of a shared workspace for teams. To ask about it, write to hello@usecutora.com.

FAQ

How do I pass the cuts to my editor?

Download the Export to your editor ZIP. It holds project files, an SRT and a cut list. Your editor puts the original footage in a media folder.

Does the ZIP contain the video?

No. It holds text files only, and your footage stays as you recorded it.

Are the cuts frame-accurate?

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

Does it separate the host from a guest?

No. It treats every voice as one.

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.
