Cutria

Cutria turns a script into a timeline your editor can actually work from. Write your video scene by scene. Give each scene a duration, a description, the footage and references it needs, and a checklist of what's still missing. Your editor opens the same timeline โ€” no meetings, no "which take did you mean", no folder of expiring links. HOW IT WORKS 1. Capture ideas anywhere. Notes on the way to a shoot, unlimited on every plan. 2. Turn an idea into a project. Scenes on a vertical timeline, each with duration, script, assets and to-dos. 3. Hand it over. Your crew works inside the project, or you export the timeline to DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X. FOR TEAMS Invite your crew by email. Authors shape the script and the timeline; crew members attach footage and tick off tasks without changing your creative structure. Separate workspaces keep each client's work apart. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Upload video, images, audio and PDFs straight to a scene. No file size limits โ€” only the total storage of your plan. Changes reach everyone on the project instantly, on web, iPhone and iPad. Sign in with a code sent to your email โ€” there's no password to forget.
