Cutover films with both iPhone cameras at once and finishes the edit for you — entirely on the device. FILM IT • Dual — record the back camera and yourself at the same time, with your face floating anywhere on the frame. Move it, resize it, rotate it while you film. • React — load any video and film yourself over it, cut out of your background. • Front and back single-camera takes, with live captions as you talk. CUT YOURSELF OUT Real person segmentation removes your background live — a green screen with no green screen. You see it while filming, and the export re-renders it at full quality. POINT AT THINGS Turn on Point and touch the frame like a mouse. Your finger leaves a cursor on the recording, so people can follow what you are explaining. FINISH IT WITH A PIPELINE Build a recipe once and run it on every take: • Auto Captions — on-device transcription with word-level timing • Trim Silence — cuts dead air and filler words • Beep Words — mutes anything you name • Auto Reframe — recrops to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 • Color Look, Music Bed with ducking, Brand Kit intro, logo and outro • Review — pause and approve before anything exports A Review step stops the run so you can check the result before it ships. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE Capture, cutout, captions and colour all run on-device. Your recordings are never uploaded — there is no server to upload them to. Export straight to Photos, or download to a computer over your own Wi-Fi. FREE Unlimited recording. Dual and React up to 1080p, green-screen cutout, live captions, three looks, one pipeline of up to four steps, export with a watermark. CUTOVER PRO Up to 4K, no watermark, unlimited pipelines and steps, the full look pack, Trim Silence and Beep Words, and Wi-Fi export to a computer. Monthly or yearly, or a one-time Lifetime unlock. Best on iPhone 15 Pro and newer. On iPhone 14 and standard 15, dual high-resolution capture may run slower or at reduced quality — the app warns you first.
