Where Cutroom fits
With VEED and CapCut, you still make the edit, even when an AI tool does single steps for you. Cutroom's Magic Editor makes the whole edit of a video of you talking from one press.
It normally takes 10 to 15 minutes, and you get an email when your first cut is ready. After that, you change it by asking Jacob in a chat.
- Cutroom's Magic Editor turns one clip of you talking into a finished vertical video: Jacob, its AI editor, makes the whole edit, and you change it by asking in a chat.
- The first edit costs 250 credits and a change you ask for costs 40. A question that changes nothing is free.
- It takes one clip of up to 3 minutes and only exports a vertical MP4, 1080 by 1920, 30 frames a second, with the sound levelled.
- VEED and CapCut do things Cutroom doesn't: wide and square videos, background noise removal, translation and editing any footage you have.

struck through = what Jacob cuts
After · Jacob's first edit, Poster style
“The secret to good sourdough isn't the flour. it's time. We let ours rest for 48 hours and that's why the crust cracks like that.”

- On “time”: a black-and-white moment on the word time
- On “hours”: the number 48 in neon
- On “crust”: a b-roll clip of bread being sliced, from stock
- Under the whole video: your logo closes the video
Then you ask Jacob
- “Change the music to something calmer”v2the same edit with calmer music under your voice
- “Why did you cut what you cut?”v3an answer in the chat, free, and the video stays as it is
