How would you use it for a podcast video?

  1. Upload the recorded video of the host. A project holds up to two files and 60 minutes of footage.
  2. Choose Pacing, Fast or Natural, and let the first cut run on Cutora's servers. You can close the tab.
  3. Review the cuts on the timeline. Restore anything you want back.
  4. Export an MP4 in vertical or horizontal, or take the cuts to your own editor with the handoff ZIP.

Which podcast videos suit it?

FAQ

Can it edit an interview with a guest?

It treats every voice as one, so a guest's pauses are cut by the same rules as yours. It is built for one host talking to camera.

How long an episode can it take?

Creator and Pro projects can hold up to 60 minutes. The trial allows one video up to 10 minutes.

Does it use my separate microphone recording?

No. Each video file is transcribed from its own audio, and Cutora does not line up a separate recording.

Can I finish the edit in my own editor?

Yes. The handoff ZIP holds project files for your editor. We checked the import in DaVinci Resolve 21.

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.
