Send your voiceover. Get back an edited video.
The Cutaway agent puts a picture, map or label on every line you say, cut on the word it matches. It shows you the storyboard, asks only where it isn't sure, and sends back the video with captions, chapters and Shorts.
No card. English narration only, for now.
Cut at the pace of top documentary channels
We measured 14 of them before building Cutaway. Every storyboard is checked against the same numbers before anything is rendered.
Numbers from our 2-minute sample below.
It edits first, then asks
You don't get a timeline to fix. The agent tells you what it did, brings you only the shots it isn't sure about, and makes changes when you ask in plain words.
- Reports every step: names it corrected, pictures it found, maps it drew
- Asks one question at a time, with the picture it would use instead
- Takes instructions like "replace any modern photos" and shows each shot it changed
Checked before it's rendered
Pace, cuts on key words, licenses and spelling are checked on the storyboard, so a draft never comes back with a problem you could have caught.
- Pace and cut points compared with top documentary channels
- Every picture's license read, and the credits written for you
- Names the transcript got wrong, fixed in captions and labels
Everything between the recording and the upload
You stay on the writing and the recording. The agent does the hours of searching, cutting and checking in between.
Script first, if you like
Paste the script before you record. The agent makes a storyboard from it, so you can see the pictures and then record to match.
Shorts and chapters
Three vertical Shorts from your best moments, with word-by-word captions.
Maps from real terrain
Natural-colour maps with rivers, borders and routes, zooming to the place you name.
Every picture has a source
Public-domain archives, museum collections and Creative Commons, each with its license.
The app in your language
The site and the workspace come in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Chinese. Narration is English only for now.
Made for narrated channels
If the video is your voice over pictures, the agent can cut it. These three storyboards came straight out of it.
Also business and finance, geography and video essays.
The first civilizations. Narration: H. G. Wells, A Short History of the World, read for LibriVox (public domain).

Questions
Is it only for history channels?
No. It works for any video that is your voice over pictures: science, true crime, business, geography, essays. History is where we started, so its picture sources are the most tested.
Do I have to record first?
No. Paste your script and the agent makes a storyboard. Record once the pictures look right.
Which languages?
Narration is English only for now. The site and the workspace come in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French and Chinese.
Can I use my own pictures?
Yes. Upload them on any line of the storyboard, or send them with your voiceover.
What about copyright?
We only use public-domain, CC0 and Creative Commons pictures, plus anything you upload. Each picture comes with its license, and the credits your description needs are written for you.
What if I don't like the edit?
Tell the agent what to change. If you don't like your first edit, email us and we refund it.
