ABOUT CUTCULL

The edit starts before the timeline.

CutCull exists to make the high-volume, low-glamour decisions between a card dump and a real edit faster, safer, and easier to trust.

WHY IT EXISTS

From 800 files to 30 useful choices.

A creator should be able to review a large shoot, keep the strongest material, and hand it off cleanly in about half an hour—not spend that time waiting for a heavyweight project to become usable.

WHO WE BUILD FOR

Creators who shoot more than they can comfortably review.

CutCull is aimed at prosumer creators, wedding and event shooters, vloggers, and small indie teams working with common camera and phone formats.

DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Fast decisions without fragile shortcuts.

Keyboard first

Core review and rough-cut actions stay close to familiar, repeatable shortcuts.

Folders are the library

Respect the structure already on disk instead of forcing a proprietary import model.

Local first

Private footage belongs near the creator, not in an unnecessary upload queue.

Non-destructive by default

Annotations live beside originals, edits remain decisions, and rendered changes become new files.

THE LINE WE DO NOT CROSS

Preparation, not production finishing.

CutCull stops before tracks, transitions, compositing, titles, keyframes, and audio mixing. Its job is to give your NLE a cleaner starting point.

THE SAFETY PROMISE

Irreplaceable footage comes first.

Originals are never modified during review or simple editing. Annotations are recoverable sidecar data, deletions use the system Trash, and browser outputs are always separate files.

  • Original media remains unchanged
  • Metadata stays rebuildable
  • Deletion is explicit and recoverable
  • Browser processing stays on the device

PRODUCT DIRECTION

Earn trust one complete workflow at a time.

The roadmap describes priorities, not delivery dates.

  1. CURRENT FOCUS

    Long-form segmentation & the web release

    Bring long footage into reach: automatic segmentation hints and a fuller in-browser workflow.

  2. NEXT

    AI analysis that watches your footage first

    On-device AI reviews every clip and tags misses, shake, and content — conclusions never touch or delete your originals.

  3. EXPLORE LATER

    A mobile culling bench

    iOS and Android apps are planned to bring the workflow closer to the shoot — one product, three surfaces.

Less sorting. Better handoffs.

CutCull is built around the quiet belief that footage deserves a safer, faster path to the edit.
