Film it once, retakes and all. CutUGC turns a raw talking-to-camera clip into a finished vertical video: the best take of every line kept, the dead air, ums and false starts gone. HOW IT WORKS • Record in the app or import a clip from your library, up to fifteen minutes long. • Tap Cut it. Only the sound of your clip is sent, so even a long recording opens in the editor in seconds. Your video stays on your phone. • The AI decides the edit and nothing else. Your footage is trimmed and cropped, never altered or generated. The person on screen is always you. AN EDITOR YOU CAN TRUST, AND CHANGE • Every cut is yours to adjust: drag clip edges to trim, split, reorder, or bring a line back. • Add text and place it anywhere on the video, choose from a full set of fonts, and style your captions. • Add overlays and audio on their own tracks. • Preview plays the edit instantly, and a plain cut exports right on your phone. HOOK BUILDER Upload one main piece of content and up to twenty hook clips. CutUGC renders a finished 1080×1920 video for every hook, matched in format and loudness so the join is invisible. Test more hooks without editing each one by hand. MADE FOR UGC creators, brands and agencies making talking-head videos and UGC ads, and founders filming their own content: anyone who records a lot of raw footage with retakes and wants post-ready shorts without editing by hand. PLANS CutUGC is a subscription with a 3-day free trial. Starter includes 100 cuts a month, Creator 300, and Studio is unlimited; every plan includes the AI Editor, the Hook Builder and every export. Monthly and annual billing are available. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
