FirstCut

Editing a video in FirstCut is like editing a story narrative. Designed for long-form interview footage, FirstCut automatically finds the story beats that move the narrative forward and materializes them as clips cut from your footage. You can quickly review the beats and clips through their titles, or refine them by editing the transcript. With a few quick edits, the sequence is automatically reordered to reflect your changes, so you never need to touch a timeline.

FirstCut helps you discover the story hidden in hours of raw interview footage, shape its narrative, and turn it into a structured rough cut, ready to export to your favorite video editor.
