Use cases
What FirstCut is for
FirstCut is a browser-based rough-cut assistant for conversation-driven video: link your local footage, write a brief, and it assembles a narrative first cut from the transcript that you export to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. The video never uploads — only its audio, to produce the transcript.
Podcasts
Turn a long video podcast recording into a narrative rough cut in your browser: write a brief, get a cut built from the transcript, export to Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut.
Interviews & documentary
Skip the manual paper edit: FirstCut reads your interview transcript and assembles a narrative first cut from your brief, then exports an EDL or XML timeline to your NLE.
Webinars, courses & lectures
Turn a recorded webinar, course session or lecture into a shorter edit: FirstCut picks the key moments from the transcript and exports a timeline to Premiere, Resolve or Final Cut.
