Do I need to write a proper script for RawCut?

No. One line is enough, such as a theme like 'my morning routine'. Write one line per scene only if you want a specific order.

Who it's for

One shoot can be several posts.

Whether you post every day or have not posted in months, the slow part is the same: turning raw clips into something worth watching. That is the part RawCut does.

posts every week

Content creators

Filming is the easy half. RawCut does the edit, so what you shot today can be a post today.

day in the life

Vloggers

Your day is scattered across thirty unplanned clips. RawCut finds the moments and puts them in order.

200 clips per trip

Travelers

Every trip ends with hours of footage and no video. Type one line about the trip and get the recap.

What you get

A finished video, ready to post.

You write one line. RawCut does the rest.

A ready-to-post video

Write one line and get a finished vertical cut from your own clips in minutes. Not a blank timeline.

Only your own footage

No stock, no AI-generated filler. If nothing you filmed fits a line, it tells you instead of faking it.

A match score on everything

The cut and every clip in it show how well they answer your script, as a percentage you can check.

A script when you have none

Name a feeling and AI writes the script from what is actually in your library, so every line has footage.

A library you can search

Find the exact seconds where something happens, or where you said it, across everything you ever filmed.

Several posts from one shoot

Describe another theme and the same footage becomes a different video. Swap any clip in one tap.

How it works

Three steps to a finished video.

STEP 1

Add your clips

Pick them from your Photos once. Your whole library stays ready for every video you make after that.

STEP 2

Write your script

One line per moment, or just a theme like “coffee”. RawCut reads it as intent, not keywords.

my morning routine

STEP 3

Get your video

The matching moments are cut into a 9:16 video, in order. Trim, add text, record a voice-over, and export for TikTok or Reels.

Write, or don’t

No script in mind? AI writes one from your clips.

Name a feeling and RawCut drafts a script out of what is actually in your footage, so every line has something to match. Or write it yourself: one line per scene, or a single theme.

The script

Five lines, every one of them matchable.

A script written from your library never asks for footage you do not have. Each line becomes a few seconds of your own video, in the order you wrote them.

One line per scene, or a single theme
Nothing invented, nothing substituted
Unmatched lines are reported, not faked

See the reasoning

Every clip shows how well it matches.

Tap any clip in the cut and RawCut shows the script line it answers and a match score. A weak match is an invitation, not a mistake you have to hunt for.

Swap in a better shot

Other clips for the same line, in one tap.

RawCut knows which line a clip is answering, so it can offer alternatives that fit that same line, and land on the right seconds inside them. A timeline editor cannot do this: it has no idea what a clip contains.

Your library, readable

Search your footage by what happens in it.

Each clip is read once and then reused by every video you make afterwards. Search for a scene, a setting, or something you said, and the results point at the seconds inside a longer clip.

What you can make

One shoot is several posts, not one.

Describe a theme and you get a cut. Describe a different one and you get a different video from the same footage.

"a day in my life"

Vlog-style days

The coffee, the walk, the desk, the evening. Scattered across thirty clips you filmed without a plan.

"cinematic b-roll by the water"

Faceless b-roll

B-roll-only mode leaves out every clip where someone is talking to camera, so faceless stays faceless without you filtering by hand.

"three things I love about this city"

Listicles and hooks

One line per beat. Each line gets the moment that answers it, in the order you wrote them.

"our trip to the coast"

Trips and events

A weekend produces two hundred clips and usually zero videos. This is the one job where the backlog is the whole problem.

"where I talk about the process"

Talking moments

What is said in your clips is read too, so the line you got right on the third take is findable. Sentences are kept whole.

"behind the scenes at the studio"

Small business posts

The making, the packing, the room at 7am. Footage you already shoot on your phone and never turn into anything.

Why your own footage

Generated video looks like everyone else's.

No stock. No AI-generated filler.

RawCut only cuts from clips you filmed. It does not generate video and it does not substitute a stock library. Footage you shot is the one thing that cannot be duplicated: the weather that day, your street, your hands.

It tells you when it can't

If nothing in your library fits a line you wrote, it says so instead of filling the gap with something that nearly fits. A cut you can trust is worth more than one that always succeeds.

Your library gets better, not bigger

Each clip is read once and then reused by every video you make afterwards. The app is more useful in month three than on day one, which is the opposite of how a folder of footage behaves.

What it is not

Not a general-purpose timeline editor, and not an AI video generator. If you want frame-by-frame control or footage you did not film, this is the wrong tool, and we would rather say so here than after you have downloaded it.

How it differs

Not a generator. Not a timeline.

Most AI video tools either invent footage or hand you an editor. RawCut does neither.

	RawCut	AI video generators	Timeline editors
Where the footage comes from	Clips you filmed	Generated or stock	Clips you filmed
What you do	Write a line	Write a prompt	Drag and trim
Finds moments inside a clip	Yes, by seconds	No footage to search	You scrub for them
Searchable by what is said	Yes	No	Rarely
When nothing fits	It tells you	Invents something	You find out yourself
Time to a first cut	Minutes	Minutes	An evening

Questions

Before you download.

Does it use stock footage or AI-generated video?

No. RawCut only cuts from clips you filmed yourself. It does not generate video and it does not substitute stock library footage. If no clip fits a line you wrote, it tells you instead of filling the gap.

Do I need to write a proper script?

No. One line is enough: a theme like "my morning routine" works. Write one line per scene only if you want a specific order.

How many clips do I need?

A handful gets you a video; a bigger library gets you a better one, because there is more to choose from. Variety of setting matters more than the quality of any single shot.

Do my videos get uploaded?

Your videos stay on your iPhone. See the privacy policy for what is and is not sent anywhere.

Is it free?

There is a free tier you can finish and export real videos on, plus an optional Pro subscription for a larger monthly allowance. See pricing.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. RawCut is iPhone only, on iOS 15 or later.

Can I edit the cut afterwards?

Yes: trim, reorder, replace a clip, mute one, add on-screen text, or ask for another cut from the same footage. It is light editing, not a full timeline.
