What First Cut can do
What First Cut can do
01
Understand more than transcripts.
First Cut is designed to understand speech, images, sound, people, scenes, emotion, context, and the relationships between moments across your footage.
02
Ask your footage anything.
Describe what you're looking for in natural language. Find a person. A moment. An emotion. A visual. A theme. A story beat.
- Find every moment where Carmen talks about her mother.
- Show me the quietest moments in the kitchen.
- Find the strongest material for an opening about memory.
03
Work where you already edit.
Editors shouldn't have to abandon the tools they already know to use AI. First Cut is being built around professional editing workflows, beginning with DaVinci Resolve. The intelligence comes to the edit.
