Most footage
is filler.We ship the rest.
Drop in a game, a podcast, a stream. Cutlist watches it, listens to it and reads it, then hands back captioned vertical clips that follow the action. Tools built only on transcripts never open the video at all, which is why they fall apart the moment nobody is talking.
An hour of footage freeno cardno watermark, ever
The job is not making clips. Anyone can cut a video into thirty-second pieces. The job is knowing which six of them are worth a post, and that takes actually looking at the footage.

It reads the whole thing.Then it commits.
This is how a cut sheet reads: the source on top, the moments it kept underneath, each with the score it earned. It watches the frames and listens to the room as well as reading the words — nothing is chosen from a transcript alone.
Each score is one judgment about the footage, on a rubric you can read. Click a moment to move the playhead.
Example output · your own moments are measuredA centre croploses the game.
Reframing built on face detection has nothing to lock onto in a wide shot, so it centres the frame and hopes. Cutlist tracks whatever is moving and follows it.
Turn the toggle off in the panel and watch the subject leave frame. That is what happens to a touchdown when a tool only knows how to find faces.
The crop tracks whatever is moving, so the subject stays in frame across the shot.
HE TAKES IT
Word-level timings from the transcript, so the highlight lands on the word being said. Burned into the video, with an SRT alongside it.
Six caption styles.Word by word.
Timings come from the transcript at word level, so the highlight lands on the word being spoken rather than drifting a beat behind it.
- Bold, punch, clean, block, brand, subtle
- Your accent colour, your size, your height in frame
- Burned into the video, with an SRT alongside
It works on footagethat actually moves.
Sports
Found from motion and crowd noise
Nobody has to name the play for Cutlist to find it. The score, the hit, the reaction - it reads the room and the pictures, so a wide shot with no commentary still gets cut.
Podcasts
Cut on sentence boundaries
The hook, the take, the story that lands. Edges snap to where sentences actually end, so nothing opens or closes mid-thought.
Streams
3 hours to six clips
The moments worth keeping, without scrubbing a timeline all evening looking for the one you half remember.
Talks and demos
Reads what is on the slide
On-screen text is part of the judgement, so a clip can be titled by what was actually written on the board behind you.
Every clip opensin a real editor.
An automatic cut is a first draft. Yours is the one that ships, so the editor gives you the controls that actually change the outcome and none of the ones that do not.
Trim
Drag the handles, nudge in tenths of a second, or hold a handle and use the arrow keys. The preview scrubs with you.
Text
Where there is speech, the transcript is right there. Click a word to cut it and the footage goes with it, silence included.
Frame
Vertical, square or wide. Follow the action, centre on a face, or place the crop by hand.
Captions
Six styles, your colour, your size, your height in frame. See where they will land before rendering.
Post caption
The words that go next to the video, written in a voice you pick - relaxed, punchy, corporate - with alt text and hashtags.
Re-cutting is billed at the anchored rate, because the moment is already known. You are not paying full price to move an edge two seconds.
A real timeline.Not a trim bar.
The filmstrip is your actual frames and the waveform is your actual audio, both drawn in the browser. Scrub it, trim to a tenth of a second, cut a sentence out by clicking the word, then re-cut at the anchored rate.
Simple mode keeps it to three decisions. Creator mode opens the whole desk. Your choice is remembered.
Paste your chapters.Skip the guessing.
Nobody should pay a model to work out something they already wrote down. Drop your timestamps in at upload and Cutlist goes straight to cutting them - at the anchored rate, without the start-up charge that finding them costs.
Chapters, a run of show, notes you took while watching. It reads all of them and tells you how many it found before you spend anything.
Everything it does.And what it does not.
Including the rows where the honest answer is not built. A feature list made entirely of ticks tells you nothing; this one counts the edges and names them.

The 3 it does not do: intro and outro cards, team workspace, posting to social directly. If a capability is not on the full list, we do not have it.
The full capability tableEvery second you seeis a second you shot.
No generated b-roll, no stock inserts, no synthetic voice. Cutlist finds the moment, cuts it, reframes it and captions it — and never invents a frame of it. A pipeline that fabricates footage can pad any file, which is exactly why this one will not.
Stop scrubbing.
Upload something you already shot and see what it finds. An hour of footage free, every feature unlocked, no card and no watermark.
