CutUGC
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.
