The best way to review claim videos without manual scrubbing is to upload the evidence to Cutsio and use visual intelligence to search for damage, incidents, and relevant moments by describing what you need. Instead of watching every second of a dashcam clip, a property walkthrough, or a repair shop video, adjusters can search for "collision impact," "water damage on ceiling," or "dent on rear panel" and jump directly to the relevant frames. Claim adjusters spend a significant portion of their day watching videos. A single auto claim might include a 10-minute dashcam clip, a 5-minute repair walkthrough, and photos from the scene. A single property claim might include a 15-minute interior walkthrough, a 10-minute exterior inspection, and drone footage of the roof. Reviewing all of this evidence manually takes 30 to 60 minutes per claim. For an adjuster handling 8 to 12 claims per day, that is 4 to 8 hours of video review alone. ## Why do adjusters spend so much time watching claim videos? Adjusters watch claim videos because the relevant moments are scattered throughout the footage. A 10-minute dashcam clip contains seconds of relevant action — the collision moment — surrounded by minutes of driving footage. A 15-minute property walkthrough contains seconds of visible damage surrounded by minutes of undamaged areas. The traditional review process requires the adjuster to watch the full video, note the timestamp of each relevant moment, and document their findings. For a dashcam clip, this means watching 10 minutes of footage to find 5 seconds of impact. For a property walkthrough, this means watching 15 minutes of footage to find 30 seconds of visible damage. The ratio of review time to useful information is extremely low. The problem compounds across multiple evidence sources. A single claim might have 3 to 5 video files. The adjuster must watch each one, document findings from each, and compile a cohesive assessment. The total review time for a video-heavy claim can exceed 1 hour. ## How does Cutsio eliminate manual scrubbing in claim review? Upload claim videos to Cutsio. Multimodal visual intelligence analyzes every frame of every video, identifying damage, objects, incidents, and relevant context. Adjusters describe what they need to find and get instant results. | Claim Type | What to Search | What Cutsio Finds | |---|---|---| | Auto — dashcam | "collision impact" or "vehicle collision" | Exact moment of impact | | Auto — repair walkthrough | "damage to front bumper" | Visible damage documentation | | Property — interior walkthrough | "water stain on ceiling" | Water damage evidence | | Property — exterior inspection | "roof damage" or "missing shingle" | Storm damage documentation | | Property — drone footage | "roof damage north side" | Aerial damage assessment | | Workers comp | "person lifting incorrectly" | Incident behavior documentation | Searching for "collision impact" in a dashcam clip returns the exact frame where the vehicles made contact. Searching for "water stain on ceiling" in a property walkthrough returns every room with visible water damage. Each result includes a timestamp and thumbnail so the adjuster can immediately assess relevance.

Cutsio's Collections allow adjusters to organize all evidence for a single claim in one place. Upload the dashcam clip, the repair walkthrough, and any photos into a single claim Collection. Search across all evidence simultaneously. For an auto claim with a dashcam clip and a repair walkthrough, the adjuster uploads both files to the claim Collection. Searching for "collision" returns results from the dashcam. Searching for "bumper damage" returns results from the walkthrough. The adjuster compiles both sets of results into a single evidence package that tells the complete story — the accident and the resulting damage. For more on compiling evidence, read our [guide to creating a claim evidence timeline from photos and videos](/blog/how-to-create-a-claim-evidence-timeline-from-photos-and-videos). ## How much does manual claim video review cost an insurance carrier? The cost of manual claim video review is measured in adjuster labor hours and extended claim cycle time. An adjuster earning $25 to $40 per hour who spends 4 to 8 hours per day watching claim videos represents $100 to $320 per day in video review labor alone. For a claims department with 10 adjusters, that is $1,000 to $3,200 per day — $20,000 to $64,000 per month — spent on watching videos. The cycle time impact adds additional cost. Every day a claim sits open while the adjuster reviews video evidence increases the likelihood of litigation. Claims that take longer to resolve typically settle for higher amounts because the claimant's damages — medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering — continue to accumulate. Reducing video review time from 4 hours per day to 30 minutes per day saves 3.5 hours per adjuster per day. For a 10-adjuster department, that is 35 hours per day or 700 hours per month at $25 to $40 per hour — $17,500 to $28,000 per month in labor savings alone. The cycle time improvement — claims resolved 3 to 5 days faster — reduces litigation exposure and improves settlement accuracy. ## How do you implement a no-scrub claim video review workflow? Implementing a no-scrub workflow requires three steps. First, establish a standardized upload process. Create a Cutsio Collection structure organized by claim type — auto, property, workers comp, and SIU. Each claim gets its own Collection named with the claim number. Upload links are generated for each Collection so evidence can be submitted directly by claimants, repair shops, or field adjusters. Second, train adjusters on search strategies. The most common mistake is searching too broadly or too narrowly. A search for "damage" on a property walkthrough returns too many results. A search for "water stain on ceiling in master bedroom near window" returns the exact moment. Adjusters should start with specific descriptors and broaden only if needed. Third, integrate the search workflow into the existing claims process. When a claim is assigned, the adjuster checks whether video evidence has been uploaded to the claim Collection. If not, the adjuster requests the evidence. Once evidence is uploaded, the adjuster searches for the relevant moments, compiles the findings, and documents the claim. The entire evidence review process happens within the same platform, eliminating the need to switch between tools.
