Get early access Coming soon to iOS and Android

Why CutUGC users may want to wait for ClipEasy

Ten different videos, one upload

Film one take per product, add up to 10, and ClipEasy edits every one while you do something else. CutUGC batches hook versions of a single main video.

Android as well as iPhone

ClipEasy is being built for iOS and Android, so the app follows you whichever phone you film on. CutUGC lists no Android app.

A teleprompter that listens

No scroll speed to set. The script waits when you pause, finds your line if you skip ahead and stops the take three seconds after your last line.

The cut is checked against your script

ClipEasy keeps the take where you got each line right. CutUGC reviewers report choosing which best lines to keep and adjusting some edits by hand.

The whole edit in one pass

Pauses, filler, retakes and false starts come out, captions go on, the audio is cleaned up and the opening is tightened. You can still change anything in a few taps.

What ClipEasy will edit for you

Product videos in a batch

Add up to 10 raw takes, one for each product, and ClipEasy edits every one of them while you do something else.

Talking-to-camera ads

Give ClipEasy a raw take with pauses and stumbles left in, and get back a cut, captioned ad with clean audio and a tighter opening.

Testimonial-style videos

Talk naturally and start over when you need to. ClipEasy removes the retakes, false starts and filler and adds captions.

Scripted videos with the teleprompter

Bring your script and read it into the lens. The teleprompter follows your voice, and ClipEasy keeps the take where you got each line right.

Unboxing and first impressions

Film your first reaction in one raw take. ClipEasy cuts the dead air and awkward moments and adds captions so it is ready to post.

Reviews filmed in one take

Record your review in one go, pauses and all. ClipEasy trims the silences and filler, cleans up the audio and tightens the opening.

CutUGC

iPhone app that cuts raw talking-to-camera takes into finished vertical UGC videos

CutUGC screenshot

CutUGC is an iPhone app from Artiaid Software Inc. that turns a raw talking-to-camera clip into a finished vertical video. You record in the app or import a clip of up to fifteen minutes. CutUGC keeps the best take of every line and removes the dead air, ums and false starts. Only the sound of the clip is sent for the AI edit, and the video stays on the phone. Afterwards you can adjust every cut by trimming, splitting, reordering or bringing a line back. You can also add text, captions, overlays and audio. A Hook Builder renders one finished 1080x1920 video for each of up to twenty hook clips placed in front of one main video. It is made for UGC creators, brands, agencies and founders who film a lot of raw footage with retakes.

Best for: iPhone users who are UGC creators, brands, agencies or founders. They film talking-head videos and UGC ads with retakes and want the cutting done for them, plus several hook versions of the same ad.

  • Keeps the best take of every line and removes dead air, ums and false starts from a raw talking-to-camera clip
  • Record in the app or import a clip from your library, up to fifteen minutes long
  • Only the clip's audio is sent for the edit, so a long recording opens in the editor in seconds while the video stays on the phone
  • Footage is only trimmed and cropped, never altered or generated, so the person on screen is always you
  • Every AI cut can be changed by hand: drag clip edges to trim, split, reorder, or bring a line back
  • Hook Builder renders a finished 1080x1920 video for each of up to twenty hook clips, matched in format and loudness

ClipEasy is an AI video editor for short-form and UGC creators who film talking-to-camera videos and ads for brands. You film a take on your phone or upload one you already have.

If you want to change something, you edit it yourself in a few taps. It edits up to 10 different videos at once, one per product, while you do something else. It also has a teleprompter that follows your voice. It works on your real face and your real footage and does not generate actors. ClipEasy is coming soon to iOS and Android, with a waitlist on the homepage.

  • Adds captions, cleans up the audio, fixes overlapping audio and tightens your opening
  • Edits up to 10 different videos at once, for example one for each product, while you do something else
  • A teleprompter that follows your voice, keeps up if you skip, stops the take after your last line and lets ClipEasy keep the take where you got each line right
