You keep the taste and the final say; the agent does the cutting, captioning and rendering. ## Edit by pointing There's no timeline to learn. You mark the moment and say what to change. ### Select a range Drag across the timeline, or press I and O at the playhead to set the start and end. Press L to loop it while you decide. ### Box an area Drag a box over the part of the frame you mean: a caption, a logo, a face. The box is drawn onto the frame the agent sees. ### Ask in your own words Type the change and press Enter. Follow-up requests stay in the same conversation, so “a bit more” works. ### Compare and keep When the agent finishes, play the old and new versions side by side. Keep the edit, or restore the previous version with one click. ## Your agent does the work Cutfac runs Claude Code or Codex on your Mac with your own account. ### One session per video Each video gets its own agent session, so the agent remembers earlier requests for that video and nothing leaks between videos. ### Exact context Every request includes a clip of the selected range, the frame with your box drawn on it, the start and end timecodes and the path to the original file. ### Live progress Each step the agent takes shows up as it happens, so you can see what it's doing instead of staring at a spinner. ### Copy prompt No agent set up, or want to use another assistant? Copy the full request with its timecodes and file paths and paste it anywhere. ## References Start from short-form videos that already work. ### Drop a file or paste a link Add a video file, or paste a link and Cutfac downloads it with yt-dlp. ### Broken down for you Each reference is split into scenes, with the hook frames pulled out, a contact sheet of the whole video and the audio extracted. ### Why it works Your agent watches the breakdown and writes down the hook, the beats and what makes it land, in a note you can edit. ## Formats Turn what works into a recipe your agent can repeat. ### Recipes, not templates A format holds hook rules, beats, target length and the checks a video must pass. It can also point to a render template. ### Built from references Ask your agent to write a format from the references you saved, then adjust it by hand. ## Board Every video in one place, from idea to published. ### One folder per post Each video is a folder with its script, renders, feedback and status, moving from idea to published. ### Timecoded feedback Leave notes at exact moments in a video. Your agent reads them on the next pass. ### Upload checks Every render is checked with ffprobe against upload rules and its format: length, resolution, aspect ratio, codec, frame rate and audio sync. ### Schedule and numbers Plan posts on a calendar and record views and other numbers after they go out, so the next round learns from them. ## Your app Videos that know what you're selling. ### Import from a link Paste your App Store, Google Play or landing page URL. Cutfac pulls in the name, description and store screenshots. ### Positioning and CTA rules Write down who the app is for and how a video should end. Your agent follows it in every video. ### Reviewed captures Keep the screen recordings and screenshots you approved, so the agent uses real footage of your app. ## Plain files on your Mac Your work is yours, in a format you can read without us. ### Folders and YAML A workspace is a plain folder. Open it in Finder, put it in git, back it up however you like. ### Nothing uploaded Videos are processed on your Mac with ffmpeg. Cutfac doesn't send your videos or workspace to us. ### Keeps working If you stop paying, the app keeps working at the version you have, and your files stay where they are. ## Coming later (Planned) These are planned for paid plans and are not available yet. ### Reference feed A regularly updated list of short-form videos that work, with links, metadata and analysis. ### Format packs Ready-made formats for common kinds of app videos. ### Managed publishing Post and schedule to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube from the board. ## Keyboard shortcuts | Keys | Action | | --- | --- | | Space | Play or pause | | I | Set the start of the selection at the playhead | | O | Set the end of the selection at the playhead | | L | Loop the selection | | ← → | Step 0.1 seconds | | Shift ← → | Step 1 second | | Enter | Send the request | | Esc | Clear the selection | ## What you need Cutfac runs on macOS and uses tools you install yourself. - **A Mac**: Cutfac is a macOS app. - **ffmpeg**: Used to cut, analyse and render videos.
