## What is CutStory?

CutStory is a video editor, video splitter and automatic subtitle maker for vertical video.

Record video right in the app or import your own. Edit on a multitrack timeline, create captions from speech, edit with AI, and turn one long video into a series of clips for Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Telegram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and other social media.

SPLIT A LONG VIDEO

Choose a social network or set your own duration — CutStory splits the video into parts of the right length and saves every clip as a separate file.

21 ready presets. With Quick Cut you can cut a video straight from the Photos app through the Share menu, without even opening CutStory.

AUTO CAPTIONS AND SUBTITLES

The AI caption generator creates subtitles from speech in a few taps. Show captions word by word or line by line, edit the text and timing, change the recognition language, font, color, outline, background and animation.

EDIT VIDEO WITH AI

No menu hunting — tell CutStory by voice or in chat what you want: "add music to the whole video", "add transitions", "cut this video into one-minute clips", "make it ready for TikTok". The AI assistant understands 113 editing commands and runs them on your timeline.

A FULL VIDEO EDITOR

• Multitrack timeline: video, photos, music, voiceover, text, stickers and subtitles
• Cut out weak moments, trim, split, merge, duplicate, replace, freeze frame
• Video over video, extract audio and several audio tracks
• Slow motion, speed up video, rotate, flip, zoom, crop and loop
• 90 transitions, 185 color filters and video effects
• Text and sticker animation, your own fonts and saved styles
• Frame sizes and safe zones for every social network
• Backgrounds: color, gradient, image or blur — fit any video with no crop
• Slideshow maker, PhotoGrid layouts, photo and video collage maker
• Autosaved projects, undo and redo

TEMPLATES

Use ready-made templates for reels and stories: drop in your clips and photos, then change the music, text, subtitles, stickers and the edit itself. Your own project can be saved as a template too.

SHOOTING IN CUTSTORY

Multicam records live from the back and front camera at the same time: show what is happening and your reaction in one video.

MusicCam lets you pick a track and film in sync with the music.

The teleprompter shows your script over the camera, so you can read and keep your eyes near the lens.

Shoot up to 4K, 24/30/60 FPS, SDR or HDR.

MUSIC, LOGOS AND GRAPHICS

Add music from the catalog or your own audio files, record a voiceover and set the volume of each track. Use text, GIF, stickers, your own logo or watermark, AI backgrounds and AI stickers.

EXPORT

Save video in 720p, 1080p or 4K, 24/30/60 FPS, SDR or HDR. Export the movie as one file, or every part of the split as a separate clip.

WHO CUTSTORY IS FOR

• Content creators and vloggers — reels, stories and shorts
• Podcasters — cutting long episodes into short video clips
• Experts, teachers and coaches — talking-head videos with a teleprompter and captions
• Realtors and reviewers — filming on a dual camera to show the place and your reaction at once
• Dancers and anyone filming to music — recording straight to the track with MusicCam
• Small businesses — product videos with a logo, text and brand style
• Anyone working with photos — slide show, PhotoGrid and video collage

From filming to posting: video editing, splitting and automatic captions in one app.

19 interface languages. iPhone and iPad. iOS 15 and later.
