How does Cutroom ship changes?
Cutroom is an AI video editor that turns one clip of you talking, up to 3 minutes, into a finished 9:16 MP4. It ships small updates, often several in one day.
- The log counts release days, 20 across 7 weeks so far, with the newest at the top.
- Every change a customer would notice gets one dated sentence. Tests, code clean-ups and research are left out.
- The editor's preview and the exported file come from the same video engine, so they match.
- Changes that were later reversed stay listed with their date. The free tier arrived 17 August, left 22 August and returned 30 August.
- Your first video is free today, with 600 credits, 7 days to make it and no card.
- The free export carries a Cutroom mark, and Lite at $19.99 a month removes it.
One video engine draws the preview and the export
A new look is built once, so it reaches the editor, the preview and the finished file on the same day.
One take
Up to 3 minutes of you talking
One video engine
Draws the captions, hook, b-roll and transitions
Preview
The editor's player runs that engine
Export
The 9:16 MP4 is rendered by the same engine
Questions people ask
- How often does Cutroom release updates?
- Several times a week on average, often more than once a day. The Cutroom changelog logs 20 release days across 7 weeks, from 15 August 2026 to 21 September 2026. The busiest day was 15 September 2026, when the caption styles grew to 40 and the hook styles to 15.
- Where do I ask about a change in the Cutroom changelog?
- Email support@cutroomai.com and a person answers. Quote the date and the line from the Cutroom changelog, and say what you see in your own editor, so the answer is about your video. Questions about plans, uploads and exports are answered on the /faq page.
- How do I request a feature in Cutroom?
- Email support@cutroomai.com with what you were trying to make and where the editor stopped you. Cutroom adds controls that change the edit, such as the caption look for selected words, shipped on 16 September. Cutroom has no timeline, no keyframes and no layers, and a request for those gets an honest no.
- Why does the Cutroom changelog keep changes that were later reversed?
- Because the dates are the point of this page. If a line disappeared when the change was reversed, you could not check what Cutroom did on a given day. Email confirmation is the example: it was asked for at your first project on 19 August, and moved to the download on 15 September.
- How do I find one change in the Cutroom changelog?
- Press Ctrl+F, or Cmd+F on a Mac, and type a word such as captions, b-roll, phone or pricing. Every change sits in a table row on this one page, with the day it shipped and the part of Cutroom it touched, so your browser finds all of them at once.
- How do I hear about the next Cutroom update?
- Check this page: Cutroom has no release newsletter, so a new line appears here on the day a change ships. The footer of every page links to Cutroom on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. For a change you are waiting on, email support@cutroomai.com and a person answers.
- Who should not use the Cutroom changelog to pick an editor?
- Anyone who needs a timeline editor. Every line in the Cutroom changelog serves one job: turning one clip of you talking, up to 3 minutes long, into a finished 9:16 video with captions, a hook and b-roll. If that job is yours, your first video is free: 600 credits, 7 days, no card, and a Cutroom mark on the export.
