Record once. Publish everywhere. CreatorCut films a single wide take and hands you two finished videos: a vertical 9:16 cut that follows your face in real time, and the full 16:9 landscape version β€” untouched. Stop choosing between a vertical post and a widescreen upload. Shoot it once, post both. ONE TAKE, TWO CUTS β€’ Records a wide 16:9 master, then renders a face-tracked portrait crop that stays locked on you as you move. β€’ Choose your output: portrait only, landscape only, or both. Unwanted renders are skipped. β€’ Renders happen after you stop β€” typically faster than realtime on Apple silicon. LOOKS, BAKED IN β€” NEW β€’ Nine color grades: Vivid and Dramatic, each with warm and cool variants, plus Mono, Silvertone, and Noir. Tap a swatch and the grade appears in the viewfinder. β€’ Beautify masks to skin tone, so your face softens and your background stays sharp. A slider from 0 to 100%, not a preset. β€’ Both render into the finished files. What you saw when you pressed record is what lands in your library. β€’ Free on iPhone and Mac. A TELEPROMPTER THAT READS YOU (CREATORCUT PRO) β€’ On-device speech recognition scrolls the script at your speaking pace. Slow down to think and it waits; find your rhythm and it keeps up. β€’ Adjustable words-per-minute, font size, column width, and opacity. β€’ Overlay the script on the preview, or on Mac pop it out to a second display so you look down the lens β€” not down at a keyboard. YOUR PHONE AND YOUR MAC β€’ Full feature parity across iPhone and Mac. β€’ iPhone: pinch-to-zoom, tap-to-focus, a tappable output-format chip, live composition guides, and a 3/5/10-second countdown. β€’ Mac: side-by-side split preview and a floating teleprompter window. β€’ Live audio metering and face tracking on both. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No accounts. No cloud. No analytics. Nothing to opt out of, because nothing is collected. β€’ Speech recognition, face tracking, and every filter run on-device. β€’ Video is encoded locally. Your footage never leaves the device. β€’ iPhone saves straight to Photos; Mac saves to a folder you choose. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO β€” on purpose β€’ No face reshaping. No slimming, no eye enlarging, no AR masks. Beautify softens skin texture and leaves your features exactly where they are β€” you still look like you. β€’ No timeline editor. Cut in your editor of choice. β€’ No AI captions, summaries, or rewriting. Just your words. CREATORCUT PRO The free tier includes dual-output capture, face tracking, all nine color looks, beautify, 1080p recording, and takes up to 60 seconds. Upgrade to Pro for: β€’ Unlimited recording length β€’ Up to 4K (where your camera supports it) β€’ The teleprompter β€” overlay, pop-out, and voice-pace β€’ Watermark control β€” move it, restyle it, or remove it Pro is available monthly or yearly (each with a 7-day free trial), or as a one-time, family-shareable Lifetime purchase.
