Talk to the camera like a director. Drop the footage on CutSaga. It keeps the takes you called good, cuts the story, adds the graphics and captions — and hands you a finished 4K video. No timeline. No prompting. No uploading.
Launching first on Mac · Free week for founding creators · No card, ever
The actual six steps CutSaga walks through — while you make coffee.
Say your takes out loud while recording — CutSaga understands spoken direction and remembers your verdicts.
Drag your clips in — straight off the camera, any format, even C-Log with your LUT. Script optional: no script, and it edits from what you actually said.
Walk away. Come back to a finished cut — then review the moments it flags, click Keep or Cut, and re-cut in one press.
Everything below comes out of one drag-and-drop — finished, not “almost.”
Color-managed, paced, cleaned of every “take two” — ready to upload, not ready to edit.
Clean, minimal graphics that land on the exact word you say — never on your face.
Word-by-word caption styles for the huge share of viewers who watch silent — in your language, not just English.
Your video re-framed, re-captioned and re-choreographed for 9:16 — not just cropped.
Drop extra shots and CutSaga tags them scene by scene, then cuts them in exactly where you're talking about them.
Every cut also exports as a timeline for Premiere Pro, Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve. Your edit is never locked in.
Every video opens in a full editing suite — but one that reads like a page, not a timeline. Strike through a sentence and it's gone from the video, instantly, no re-render. Drag soundbites to reorder the story. Remove every “um” in one click. The preview updates live because it plays your original footage — nothing uploads, nothing waits.
Select any words and delete them — the cut lands in the silence between words, never mid-syllable.
Changes play instantly on your raw 4K footage — graphics, zooms and music included. No cloud, no queue.
What you previewed is what bakes — a deterministic re-cut of your exact edit, free every time.
Every cut, drag, and toggle is one ⌘Z away. Experiment without fear.
Original soundtracks with per-instrument lanes — drag when the drums enter, and the mix re-renders in seconds.
⌘F searches the transcript; one keystroke jumps the video to that exact word.
CutSaga renders everything locally. No uploads, no cloud render farm holding your raw takes, no waiting on a 40-GB transfer. Only the words you said visit the AI — the pixels stay home.
No — that's the point. If you can talk to a camera and drag a folder, you can ship finished videos. You never have to touch a timeline: when something's not right, you fix it by deleting words in the transcript and watching the video change live. And if you ever want a real timeline, export to Premiere, Final Cut, or Resolve with one click.
Nowhere. It stays on your Mac and renders on your Mac. Only the transcript — the words — is sent to the AI that assembles your story.
A Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) and 16 GB of memory is the sweet spot, on macOS 14+. Intel Macs work — renders just take several times longer. No accounts to configure, no API keys, no plugins: sign in with your email and the free week starts. More in the help page.
Creator is $19/month billed yearly ($29 month-to-month) — unlimited renders, unlimited re-edits, a generous monthly allowance of AI cuts. Studio is $39/month ($49 monthly) with unlimited AI cuts and multiple brand kits. No credits, no overages, no meters — your Mac does the heavy work, so re-editing is free forever. Founding creators get the first week free, no card.
