What is the difference between VEED and Cutroom?
VEED is a full browser video editor with many AI tools. Cutroom does one job: it turns one video of you talking into a finished vertical ad.
- Cutroom puts each video clip on the words it matches. Say "our warehouse in New York" and a warehouse clip covers those five words.
- Cutroom uses your own footage first. It labels what is in each clip when you upload it.
- Cutroom also adds captions and puts transitions between clips. On Punch and Native it removes the ums and uhs that show up in your transcript and shortens the pauses it finds between your words.
- The edit is ready a minute or two after you upload. You change what bothers you by clicking it.

Questions people ask
- Does VEED have an AI b-roll generator?
- Yes. VEED's Gen B-Roll, also called Magic B-Roll, transcribes your video, generates still images and places them for you. It is free to try once; unlimited use needs a subscription.
- Does VEED's b-roll generator make video clips?
- Not at the moment. VEED's own page says it currently only generates custom images. You can replace any image with your own upload or stock media by hand.
- Is there a VEED alternative that puts video b-roll on my words?
- Yes. Cutroom reads your transcript and puts a matching video clip, from your own footage or free stock, on the words it belongs to. Your first video is free.
- Can I download my Cutroom video, or is there a paywall at the end?
- You can download it. The export price shows on the Export button before you press it. The free video carries a Cutroom mark across the middle; paid plans put nothing on it. You get 600 credits and 7 days to make it.
- Will Cutroom work with my kind of video?
- Yes, if it is one upright video of a person talking, up to 3 minutes, with sound. You get back an upright 1080 by 1920 video. Landscape and silent videos are refused at upload, before any credits are charged. There is no 4K.
- Does Cutroom work in my language?
- Yes, in eight: English (US), English (UK), Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, Dutch and Italian. For translation into more languages, VEED is the better tool.
