Cutsio understands scenes, actions, objects, speech, and timestamps across your footage, so every useful moment becomes findable without manual logging.



Folders and tags break as soon as the library grows. Video intelligence gives every frame a useful memory, then pairs that with transcript and timeline context so editors can search the way they think.
Cutsio reads visual content shot by shot, so a clip can be found by what appears on screen instead of only by filename.
Dialogue, keywords, and transcript context stay attached to exact timestamps for quote hunting and rough cuts.
Actions, scenes, objects, people, and spoken meaning resolve into searchable moments across the whole library.
Search by scene, object, action, spoken line, or production intent. Cutsio returns the matching moments with the surrounding context an editor needs.
Pull from existing drives, cloud sources, or direct uploads.
Visual, audio, and transcript signals are attached to every searchable timestamp.
Ask for scenes, objects, actions, phrases, moods, or production context.
Open the source, share a result, or turn the selected timestamp into an edit decision.

"The big pricing change is that teams can search old footage by scene, not just by file name."
Cutsio brings back the exact timestamp, nearby transcript, source file, and visual match signal. That means producers can find proof, editors can jump straight into the moment, and teams can reuse old footage with confidence.

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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Translation for the paranoid:
We're a tool, not a licensor. You wouldn't ask Adobe if they own your PSD files. Same energy here. Your intellectual property stays yours. We just make it actually usable — because what's the point of a video library if you can't find anything in it?
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.
