FirstCut
FirstCut is a browser-based tool that assists video creators in identifying and crafting narratives from their footage without needing to work directly with a timeline. It categorizes the footage into beats, clips, and enables editing at the word level, allowing editors to investigate various narrative threads from the same source material. An AI assistant processes straightforward language instructions and swiftly transforms the sequence into a new version, which can be played back instantly in the browser. After the narrative is completed, FirstCut exports the sequences in formats like FCPXML, EDL, OTIO, and others that are compatible with Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro. The video file does not upload; only the audio is sent for transcription.
