What is Cutroom?
Cutroom is an AI video editor that turns one video of you talking into a finished vertical video. It is web software, operated from the Netherlands. Cutroom is sold to businesses that publish short videos of a person talking: ads, answers, tips, listings and updates. You upload a video of up to 3 minutes. Cutroom transcribes it and tightens the pauses. It writes a hook for the opening seconds and times captions to every word. B-roll lands on the words it illustrates, and every clip gets a transition. What comes back is a 9:16 MP4 at 1080 by 1920 pixels, sized for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. The edit arrives in about a minute, and you change anything in it on the transcript instead of a timeline. There is nothing to install, and your first video is free. Every paid plan removes the Cutroom mark from the picture, and Lite is the first one at $19.99 a month.
The reason it exists is plain. Most people who talk to a camera for work can film a good video in one go. The editing is what takes the time, so Cutroom takes that part over and leaves you the decisions about your own video.
- You need an email address or a Google account, a video of you talking, and a browser.
- There is nothing to install, and no editing experience is needed.
- The edit comes back in about a minute, as a 9:16 MP4.
- You change any decision on the transcript, not on a timeline.
What Cutroom does, and what it does not do
Cutroom does one job: it edits one video of you talking into one vertical video. Every edit includes tightened pauses, a hook card and word-timed captions. B-roll comes from your library or free stock, and every clip gets a transition. Music is off by default.
Cutroom is not for everyone, and saying so here saves you a signup. Basic adds avatars and generated music. Premium adds animation and product shots. Skip Cutroom altogether if one of the lines below is true of your work.
- You edit long YouTube videos. Cutroom takes one video of you talking, up to 3 minutes.
- You want clips cut from a podcast, a webinar or a stream. You film the short video, Cutroom edits it.
- You need a wide 16:9 video. Every Cutroom export is 9:16.
- You want a timeline with keyframes and layers. The transcript is the only editing surface.
- You need several people on one account. Every Cutroom plan is one sign-in.
This is the whole editor
Highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those exact words. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers.
How does the free trial work?
Your first video is free: 1 free video, 600 credits, no card. The clock is 7 days from the moment you sign up. The edit comes back in about a minute. It exports with a Cutroom mark across the middle and is yours to post.
You sign up with your email address or with Google. There is no password and no card form. Before your first download, Cutroom asks you to confirm your email address, once. Lite is $19.99 a month and removes the mark.
- The free allowance counts edits, not exports, so exporting the same video again uses credits but not the free video.
- When the free video is used or the 7 days are over, the next edit needs a paid plan.
- A plan is charged on the day you buy it, and cancelling is one click under Settings, Billing.
- Plans, credits and yearly prices are at /pricing.
How is Cutroom built?
Every video goes through the same steps. Cutroom has the video transcribed word by word, with the pauses and the filler words marked. An AI model reads the transcript and makes the editing decisions. Those are stored as a document, not as a rendered file.
That document is what you edit. A change on the transcript changes the document. The preview in your browser and the exported MP4 are drawn by one composition, the same piece of code in both places. That is why the download matches what you watched.
How Cutroom makes a video
The preview and the export are drawn the same way, so the download matches what you watched.

An edit is 100 credits and an export is 20 credits per finished minute, so a 60-second video is 120 credits. On Lite that is about 10 videos a month. Top-ups start at $39.99 for 2,500 credits. Every price is on /pricing.
