- You upload one clip of yourself talking, up to 3 minutes long.
- Cutroom cuts it, adds captions timed to your voice, puts b-roll on the words you pick and adds a hook.
- You get a finished 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
- Lite is $19.99 a month for about 10 videos. Basic is $39.99 for about 20 and adds avatars and music. Premium is $79.99 for about 40.
- Your first video is free, with no card, and you have 7 days to make it. It carries a Cutroom mark; Lite removes it.
