Cut.
The timeline for practice film work, with the footage already sitting next to it.
A flythrough, a site visit, a client walkthrough, a reel for the practice feed. None of that wants a post-production suite; it wants a timeline that opens in a tab and gets the job finished. Cut gives you multi-track editing (trim, split, transitions, text, blend modes), word-level captions generated free from the spoken audio, and an export that runs on our render server rather than tying your laptop up encoding. Two things here a desktop editor hasn't got: you can describe a change to a clip in plain words and watch it happen, and you can hand over an hour of footage and get an ordered first assembly back on the timeline, still editable.
Cut it, caption it, finish it.
The timeline itself
Any clip on any lane, trimmed and split against a playhead, with ripple delete, transitions, text, speed and blend modes, and fifty levels of undo behind the lot.
Captions from the audio
Generate them from the spoken track and every word comes back with its own timing, ready to restyle or correct. They cost nothing, and they render into the finished file.
Or describe the change
Right-click a clip and write the instruction instead of building the edit: restyle it, change something in the shot, add captions. The scene stays coherent.
A timeline you can actually build an edit on.
Lanes take any mix of video, stills, audio and text, so you build the edit rather than fitting it into whatever tracks you were given. Split at the playhead. Ripple delete to close the gap. Drag either handle to trim down to a single frame, run a clip at a quarter speed or four times it, cross-fade or fade to black between shots, colour-label anything you'll be hunting for later. Fifty levels of undo and redo behind all of it, and it saves as you go.
Open Cut
Captions cost nothing, and they bake into the file.
Auto-generate from the spoken audio and every word comes back with its own timing, rather than one block per line. Six styles (karaoke highlighting included), nine typefaces, twelve sizes, a background colour, alignment, and you drag them where you want on the frame. Mistyped word? Fix that one word and the words either side keep their timing. They render into the exported MP4 in the real fonts, not a fallback face. Generating them is free, on every plan, including the free one.
Say what you want changed instead of building it.
Right-click any video clip on the timeline and write the instruction: restyle it as film noir, change the jacket, add captions. Back comes an edited clip of up to ten seconds with the scene intact, and each result becomes the next starting point, so you arrive at a look over a few turns rather than having to specify it up front. Dial back to any earlier turn and a new instruction branches from there. You can attach up to seven reference images to steer it. The same edit runs as a one-shot in Video Studio's utilities for a clip that isn't part of an edit yet.
Hand it an hour and get a first assembly back.
AI Assist sits in the timeline's own panel. Give it a long recording, up to an hour, and a target length; it watches the whole thing, picks the moments carrying the story and puts them in an order that works. The cuts land on your timeline as real clips, up to twenty four of them, either appended or replacing what's already there. You then edit them, the way you'd edit anything else you'd dropped in yourself. Choose the quality of the read and the aspect ratio it lands at, and you see the price before it starts.
The finished file, at the size you need it.
Export an MP4 or a WebM at 720p, 1080p or 4K with the captions, transitions, text and speed changes all rendered in. The encode happens on our render server, not on your laptop, so you can close the tab and find the file waiting in your gallery. Pricing is flat by resolution rather than by length: a ten-minute walkthrough at 4K costs the same ten credits as a ten-second one. A render that fails refunds itself.
The footage is already here.
Renders, flythroughs and walkthrough recordings made anywhere else on the platform are in the gallery already, so an edit tends to start by picking rather than uploading. A finished shot from Image Studio, Video Studio, Canvas or Corb goes into an existing edit with one action, in the background, without you leaving the page you're on. A desktop editor structurally can't do that bit, because the work was never in the same building as the tool.
What Cut gives you as a piece of software.
Multi-track, without fixed track types
Any mix of video, stills, audio and text on any lane, with lane rename, lock, hide and mute.
The edits you actually make
Trim to a single frame, split at the playhead, ripple delete, duplicate, marquee multi-select, cross-fade or fade to black, speeds from 0.25x to 4x, twelve blend modes.
Fifty levels of undo and redo
A continuous drag commits one entry, not forty, so stepping back undoes the move rather than a pixel of it.
An hour in, a first assembly out
AI Assist reads a long recording, picks and orders the moments that carry it, and lays up to twenty four cuts on your timeline to edit.
Free word-level captions
Generated from the spoken audio with per-word timing, karaoke highlighting and nine typefaces, baked into the export.
Text on the frame
Six styles, twelve sizes, background colour and alignment, dragged into place and resized on the canvas itself.
Edit a clip by describing it
A written instruction on a clip of ten seconds or less, refined over turns you can branch from, steered by up to seven reference images.
Everything you already made
The gallery, your uploads, your Cast and Sets elements, and a one-action send from Image, Video, Canvas and Corb.
Your laptop stays out of it
MP4 or WebM at 720p, 1080p or 4K. Close the tab and collect it from the gallery. Priced flat by resolution, refunded if it fails.
