The Dropbox Replay alternative with AI-powered search.
Frame-accurate comments and instant sharing — plus semantic search, AI summaries, Collections, Silent Slicer, and XML/EDL export. Dropbox Replay handles review. Cutsio handles review plus everything that happens before and after.
Instant sharing & comments
Share cuts with frame-accurate comments. No account required for viewers — clients click, watch, and give feedback instantly.
Semantic search
Search by meaning, not just filenames. Find "the strongest product explanation" or "every mention of pricing" across your entire library.
Rough-cut acceleration
Silent Slicer removes dead air automatically. AI summaries give you the gist of long footage instantly. Export XML/EDL to your NLE when ready.
Dropbox Replay handles video comments well. Cutsio handles comments plus semantic search, AI transcripts, Collections, silence cutting, and XML/EDL export. It is the difference between a review tool and a pre-edit workspace that feeds directly into your NLE.
Review plus everything before and after.
Cutsio combines comments, semantic search, Collections, silence cutting, and supported NLE handoff in one workspace. Additional internal users and specialized format workflows are available as add-ons.
Editors & Video Professionals
Share cuts with frame-accurate comments and instant playback. No viewer account required — clients click, watch, and comment without friction.
Post-Production Teams
Search across your entire footage library by visual content or spoken words. Find any moment, quote, or scene instantly — no more scrubbing through recordings.
Content & Course Creators
Group related interviews, webinars, or course lessons into Collections. Search across them as one set — find every mention of a topic across your entire library.
Agencies & Production Houses
Move beyond folders with a searchable video library, guest uploads, review, and clear storage and visual-indexing allowances by plan.
Upload, search, accelerate, share.
Cutsio turns your footage into a searchable, shareable workspace. Once indexing completes, find moments by meaning, accelerate rough cuts, and share with frame-accurate comments.
Upload supported footage
Bring interviews, podcasts, webinars, and screen recordings into one library. ProRes upload is available on Studio and Enterprise; supported camera originals can remain linked for conform.
AI indexes every frame
Transcribes every spoken word and analyzes every frame for objects, scenes, and actions. Your entire library becomes visually searchable instantly.
Search, organize, and accelerate
Use semantic search to find moments by meaning, group related videos into Collections, and accelerate rough cuts with Silent Slicer and AI summaries.
Share and export
Share with frame-accurate comments and instant playback. Export XML/EDL to Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve when you're ready to finish.
Dropbox Replay handles comments. Cutsio handles the whole pipeline.
Dropbox Replay is a review tool. Cutsio is a pre-edit workspace — semantic search, AI transcripts and summaries, Collections for grouped analysis, Silent Slicer for rough-cut acceleration, and XML/EDL export to Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Comments are just one part of the workflow.

Choose a video-native plan by storage and indexing needs.
Cutsio measures active storage in footage hours rather than gigabytes. A 60-minute interview uses one storage hour regardless of bitrate, and external stakeholders can review it through a share link without becoming internal workspace users.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions editors actually ask. No marketing fluff.
Dropbox stores files by filename and folder. Cutsio indexes what is inside the video — scenes, objects, actions, people, and speech — so you search by meaning instead of guessing what a file was called.
- "Interview where they mention the budget" returns timestamps.
- Streaming playback with no download needed.
- Transcripts, AI summaries, and timeline editing on every upload.
Yes. One-click import brings videos from Dropbox into Cutsio (Studio and Enterprise), where they become searchable and reviewable. Keep Dropbox as the file system of record if you like.
Guest upload links also collect footage directly from clients and crew.
Yes. ProRes (all grades), DNxHD/DNxHR, Avid MXF, XAVC, H.265, and more ingest with automatic transcription and indexing — no file size limits, and playback streams without downloading the master.
Enterprise preserves ProRes and RAW pairs; RAW ingest is an add-on.
Replay adds review on top of file storage. Cutsio goes further with library-wide AI search — visual and spoken — plus Agentic Chat to assemble selects and FCPXML/EDL export into your NLE.
It is a production workspace, not a folder with comments.
