Stop scrubbing film. Search every play instead.

We ingest almost anything you can throw at us:

What we don't support: RealMedia (.rm, .rmvb) — if you still have these, please donate them to a museum. Windows Media Video (.wmv) — no hard feelings. FLV — we let it die with Flash Player in 2020 where it belongs. 3GP — we respect your Nokia 3310 era but we can't help. And anything wrapped in a proprietary DVR container that even the manufacturer stopped supporting.

Kidding. Try uploading a VHS rip. We dare you.

Cutsio starts where traditional MAMs stop. Platforms like iconik, Widen, and Bynder give you folder structures, metadata fields, and maybe some basic transcript search. Cutsio gives you a search engine for every frame you've ever shot.

Call it a MAM with a brain. The category fits, but the capabilities don't end there.

Fast enough that you'll stop making coffee while you wait. Here's how we stack up against the usual suspects:

We built our ingestion pipeline to skip unnecessary re-encoding steps. Your 4K ProRes file lands, gets indexed, and is ready to search before YouTube would've even finished chewing on the first frame. No queue. No "we'll email you when it's ready."

If their device has a browser, it works. Cutsio's player runs everywhere — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, mobile Safari, Android Chrome, smart TVs, your grandma's iPad, that dusty laptop in the conference room. Even a quantum computer if you somehow got Chrome running on one.

Unlike Vimeo, which picks and chooses where it feels like playing on any given day. Our player just works. No "this video is not available on your platform" — we don't believe in that energy.

Yes, and it's embarrassingly simple. You generate a secure upload link, send it to anyone, and they can drop files straight into your Cutsio library — no account, no login, no password to forget.

Automatically. The moment a video finishes ingesting, Cutsio generates:

• A full transcript — word-level timestamps, speaker diarisation, searchable inline in the player. No downloading a .srt file and hoping it lines up.
• An interactive timeline — visual waveform, chapter markers, silence detection, and cut points. Click any word in the transcript to jump directly to that frame.
• An AI summary — key topics, names mentioned, and a tl;dr for every video in your library.

You don't have to enable anything. It just happens. Every video. Every time.

Yes — and it's not a clunky plugin that crashes your timeline. Cutsio's Silent Slicer automatically detects and removes dead air, ums, ahs, filler words, and long pauses from your footage.

• Adjust sensitivity per clip — gentle removal for interviews, aggressive for vlogs.
• Preview the cut before exporting to see exactly what gets removed.
• Export as FCPXML and the silent gaps are gone in your Final Cut timeline. No manual ripple delete.
• Works across multiple audio tracks. Your lav and boom both get analysed.

DaVinci users: we see you too. Same feature works for Resolve via FCPXML export.

Intelliscript is a good start. Cutsio is what Intelliscript should have been — but for your entire library, not just one project at a time.

Think of Intelliscript as the transcript panel. Think of Cutsio as the search engine for everything your cameras ever captured.

Yes. Cutsio's AI agent cuts selects and highlights from your footage, then exports a clean XML or EDL that you can import straight into your NLE of choice.

• Final Cut Pro: FCPXML export of your AI-selected clips, cuts, and sequences.
• DaVinci Resolve: FCPXML and EDL export with your edits preserved.

No re-encoding. No gamma shift. Your export lands exactly as expected.

About as different as a Sony Venice and a webcam. Google Drive gives you folders with vague thumbnails. Cutsio turns your footage into a fully indexed, cross-referenced, searchable video intelligence layer.

• We index every frame by visual content, not just filenames. Ask for "that dramatic low angle coffee pour" and we find it across years of projects.
• Our transcripts are timestamped, speaker-labeled, and searchable inline within the player — no downloading a separate .srt.
• Collections cross-search multiple videos as one source of truth. Drive still thinks a shared drive is a storage bucket.

Descript is an all-in-one, text-based audio and video editor. Cutsio is an AI-powered MAM and pre-edit workspace that makes a growing footage library easier to search, organize, review, and hand to an editor.

Use Descript when the transcript is the editor. Use Cutsio when the footage library and the workflow around the NLE are the bottleneck. Some teams use both.

Current Cutsio plans describe active storage in footage hours and support uploads at any file size within the plan's supported formats and processing workflow.

Pro includes 30 storage hours, Studio 150, and Enterprise unlimited storage hours. ProRes upload is available on Studio and Enterprise. High-bitrate processing is available as a production add-on.

For unusually large camera originals or RAW workflows, confirm the format and ingest path before transfer rather than assuming every codec uses the standard upload path.

Enterprise supports saving ProRes review media and supported ARRI or RED RAW originals as linked pairs.

Use the ProRes file for searchable playback and review while keeping the paired camera original available for conform and finishing. The ingest service is priced separately from the standard plan allowance.

• ARRI / RED RAW originals — linked as downloadable conform assets.
• ProRes upload — included on Studio and Enterprise.
• ProRes + RAW pairs — included as an Enterprise workflow capability.

Contact the team for codec, camera, and high-bitrate requirements before starting a large RAW transfer.

Absolutely not. Your footage is your footage. We just give it AI superpowers and get out of the way.

Uploading to Cutsio is like handing your car keys to a valet — they park it, they don't start taking road trips. We process, index, and transcribe your videos to make them searchable and editable. That's it. You retain full ownership of everything you upload.

• We don't resell or redistribute your videos. Obviously. That would be a spectacularly fast way to go out of business.
• You can delete anytime. Remove a video from your library and it's gone from our systems. No hidden copies, no "but we might need it for analysis" nonsense.

Active storage is measured by footage duration rather than gigabytes. That matters for video teams because higher-bitrate media does not consume more active-storage allowance than a lower-bitrate file of the same duration.

Pro includes 30 storage hours and 5 visual-indexing hours. Studio includes 150 storage hours and 25 indexed hours. Enterprise includes unlimited storage hours and 100 indexed hours.

Archive storage, extra visual indexing, extra users, linked camera-original workflows, DRM asset protection, and high-bitrate processing are priced as production add-ons.

Yes — and you keep 100% of the sale. No marketplace taking a cut.

Your portfolio lives at cutsio.com/portfolio/yourname — a public page where anyone can browse your curated work. Mark any clip as licensable, set your price, and when a producer or brand wants to buy it, the transaction happens right there. Cutsio processes the payment and you get the full amount. Zero commission. No hidden fees. No "platform percentage."

Think of it as a showroom that doubles as a checkout counter. Except the showroom looks stunning and the counter doesn't take a cut.
