CUTLIST
N°01When you already know

Cutting from timestamps you wrote down

You made notes while watching, or your platform already logged the moments. Detection is skipped entirely, so the start-up charge drops to the delivery and the renders, and the source bills at the anchored rate.

    Click 'I already know my timestamps' at upload

    The box takes almost any format: 0:45 Title, 12:34 - Title, ranges like 1:02:11-1:02:40, bracketed times, or bare seconds. One per line.

  2. 02

    Check the count before you submit

    It tells you how many moments it recognised as you type. If the number is lower than your list, a line is missing a time on it.

  3. 03

    Give an end time where the moment has a clear one

    A start on its own gets a default length around it. A range is cut exactly as written, which is what you want for anything tightly bounded.

What you end up with

Exactly the moments you asked for, in the order you listed them, at the anchored rate with no detection start-up.

A timestamp past the end of the recording is dropped rather than clamped, so a typo will simply not produce a clip.
