Cutroom

The first pass of the edit, done inside DaVinci Resolve.

Cutroom opens as a panel in the editor you already use. It turns your interviews into a searchable transcript, plans the clean-up of silences and retakes, writes captions and chapters, and lays out a first assembly for you to shape.

What it does

Inside Cutroom

Cutroom is the edit bay. It takes the mechanical first pass so the editor’s time goes to the story.

Inside DaVinci Resolve

Cutroom opens as a panel in Resolve and works with your project and clips. There is no new editor to learn.

The transcript

Interviews become a timestamped transcript, split by speaker. Name the speakers, search the words, and star the moments you want.

Silences and retakes

Find the dead air and the repeated takes, and plan a cleaned-up timeline from them.

Clean-up report and chapters

A report of silences, retakes and filler words, with chapters and markers you can export.

Captions

Export captions as SRT or VTT.

A first assembly

Lay out a first assembly from the transcript, and keep saved versions as you work.

Export anywhere

Send the assembly to Resolve, or export XML or EDL for Premiere and Final Cut.

Story arc and short clips

See the shape of the story across three acts, and find short clips worth cutting for social.

Camera switching for podcasts

Assign a camera to each speaker and switch angles as the conversation moves.
